BBC News article

I read this article with interest - esp since I've been monitoring the Micheal Savage show since he made remarks about people with autism. I find him to be especially nasty - an AM radio whacko that makes Rush Limbaugh sound like a commie pinko. The night before the presidential election Micheal Savage promised that Obama would execute millions of people before the end of his first term in office.

So what do you think - do countries have the responsibility to to keep people from visiting that promote hate? If they do - who gets to decide?

From the above BBC article:


Islamic extremists, white supremacists and a US radio host are among the 16 of 22 excluded in the five months to March to have been named by the Home Office.

Since 2005, the UK has been able to ban people who promote hatred, terrorist violence or serious criminal activity.

Among those listed are:

Hamas MP Yunis Al-Astal
Jewish extremist Mike Guzovsky.
Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard Stephen 'Don' Black
Neo-Nazi Erich Gliebe
Fred Waldron Phelps Snr, American Baptist pastor, and his daughter Shirley Phelps
Talk show host Michael Savage is also excluded. His views on immigration, Islam, rape and autism have caused great offence in America.
