United Kingdom Home Secretary Jacqui Smith revealed yesterday the names of 16 people barred from visiting Great Britain. The latest to join the list: conservative talk show host Michael Savage, who joins
Topeka's own gay hating preacher Fred Phelps and daughter/disciple Shirley Phelps-Roper.
The news of the ban on Phelps and daughter came out back in February but the Savage angle gave it new life.
Of the ban on the Phelps family, Smith told The Independent:

The news of the ban on Phelps and daughter came out back in February but the Savage angle gave it new life.
Of the ban on the Phelps family, Smith told The Independent:
"If people have so clearly overstepped the mark in terms of the way not just that they are talking but the sort of attitudes that they are expressing to the extent that we think that this is likely to cause or have the potential to cause violence or inter-community tension in this country, then actually I think the right thing is not to let them into the country in the first place. Not to open the stable door then try to close it later.
"It's a privilege to come to this country. There are certain behaviours that mean you forfeit that privilege."
And the Phelps family's privileges have been revoked.
