Michael Savage Banned In the U K

What occurs to me:

1) The irregularity of the list: It's a short list, originally not made public, and it seems downright whimsical- some are terrorists, some are leaders, some are merely loudmouths. What is the standard by which the list is imposed and why are there not thousands of people on the list by those standards?

2) In the case of Michael Savage, is this not giving the man a ton of free publicity?

3) If a person who is not dangerous nor a criminal makes a visit to another country and obeys all local laws, by what legality is he or she to be barred?

What to folks on t'other side of the pond think?
