Back in 2009, radio talk-show host and author Michael Savage was banned from entering the UK. His crime, according to the then-Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, was apparently; adhering to the wrong values ~

“I think it’s important that people understand the sorts of values and sorts of standards that we have here, the fact that it’s a privilege to come and the sort of things that mean you won’t be welcome in this country. […]
 
“If you can’t live by the rules that we live by, the standards and the values that we live by, we should exclude you from this country and, what’s more, now we will make public those people that we have excluded.” ~ Jacqui Smith

At the time, Savage was on an excluded persons list that included such illustrious individuals as Hamas MP Yunis Al-Astal, Jewish extremist Mike Guzovsky, former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard Stephen Donald Black and neo-Nazi Erich Gliebe. How his falls in the same category as these racist, totalitarian types is a mystery.
 
His extreme views are, basically, that 1.) borders, language and culture matter, and that 2.) Western Civilization is worth defending. 😯 Radical.
 
Three years ago, Savage spoke with Jennifer Harper at The Washington Times ~

All governments are essentially amoral. I had hopes but did not expect this ‘new’ UK government to restore sanity to Britain. They are still pandering to the Muslim masses. To continue to martyr me by including me on a list of known murderers and terrorists is bad enough but for the U.S. and Western media which considers itself ‘progressive’ to continue to ignore this outrage against freedom of speech is indicative that the media and governments are one and the same. This includes so-called conservatives. Has freedom of the press become greed-om of the press?”

Last week the Banned-in-Britain Club was expanded to include a couple new members; Pamela Gellar and Robert Spencer (both are authors, speakers, bloggers – and vocal opponents of Islamic extremism) ~

The two had been scheduled to speak at an English Defence League rally ~

But that’s not happening. Both Geller and Spencer were denied entry into the UK by the Home Secretary’s office. Among the reasons given, their presence is “not conducive to the public good.”

 
Essentially, they’re persona non grata for telling the truth about Islam, Jihad and Muslim extremists.
 

“My crime? My principled dedication to freedom. I am a human rights activist dedicated to freedom of speech, freedom of conscience and individual rights for all before the law. I fiercely oppose violence and the persecution and oppression of minorities under supremacist law. […]
I became a writer and activist in the wake of 911. For this I am banned. I shed no tears. I am banned from Mecca, too.” ~ Pamela Gellar

Robert Spencer says he’s basically been black-balled for accurately quoting Muhammad and various Islamic extremists; “Yes, You Can Tell the Truth About Jihad Violence in Britain (As Long As You’re For It).”

“Everyone knows that the one thing that jihad is not is warfare against and murder of those who don’t believe in Islam. Only hate-filled Islamophobes contend otherwise, and that’s why I was banned from the United Kingdom. […]
 
In not allowing us into the country solely because of our true and accurate statements about Islam, the British government is behaving like a de facto Islamic state. The nation that gave the world the Magna Carta is dead.“ ~ Robert Spencer

Disagree with me and I’ll have you named an enemy of the state.

Entertain views that conflict with the dominant left-wing narrative, and I’ll see to it that you are branded a hatemonger and are ostracized (or worse). Say or write something I don’t like, and I’ll pretend you did something criminal. I’ll deliberately confuse the expression of opinion and criminal behavior, so that the expression of opinion blends seamlessly into criminal behavior.
