Brit ban on Savage was pure politics
American Thinker ^ | July 25, 2009 | Thomas Lifson

The political roots of the UK government's decision to bar talk show host Michael Savage have been revealed for the world to see, thanks to a freedom of information lawsuit in Britain that caused Home Office documents on the subject to be made public.

We now know that political considerations -- the need to placate Muslims, a powerful voting bloc -- resulted in a search for someone to "provide a balance of types of exclusion cases."

The UK Daily Mail provides excerpts of some of the damning communications

The documents include a draft recommendation, marked 'Restricted', saying: 'We will want to ensure that the names disclosed reflect the broad range of cases and are not all Islamic extremists.'

A further email confirmed the decision was approved at the highest level of Government, saying: 'HO [Home Office] intend to include Weiner in their quarterly stats... Both the FS [Foreign Secretary] and PM [Prime Minister] are firmly behind listing and naming such people.'

Not unlike blacks complaining that the prisons have too many blacks, statistically speaking.

But Jacqui Smith said it wasn’t her fault, she didn’t get enough training.

Probably. He whines about everything else.

It is always someone elses fault with that narcissitic big eared clown.

NO. You’re kidding me. It was all political? I can’t believe it’s not butter.

Obama plays the same kind of lefty lamebrain politics. Hyper competitive against the conservatives (libs have no life except gubbermint) at home but super submissive with Muslims, foreign enemies, and illegal immigration.
