No tea and crumpets for you, Mr. Savage!

With the puffed up sails blown by an ill wind, `The HMS British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith’ is floundering in fetid English waters. Sanctimonious Smitty doesn’t seem to know that publicizing the names of cherry-picked people on her no-go list since last October is the kind of tactic that went out with the powdered wigs of the days of yore.

Irksome that none of the 16 no-go’s on the silly Smith list haven’t planted a foot in Merry Old England--even though they’ve been on the list since last Fall! Downright comical that England, which seems to have rolled over and played dead to Sharia Law, would have someone think that standing up to a handful of Islamic leaders like Wadgy Abd El Hamied Mohamed Ghoneim, Abdullah Qadri Al Ahdal, Safwat Hijazi, Amir Siddique, Abdul Ali Musa, Samir Al Quntar and Nasr Javed--and assorted others, some already imprisoned--would regain Britain some of the respect it long ago lost. Smith’s lectures will be lost on U.S. radio giant Michael Savage, who it seems wasn’t planning on visiting her country in the first place. Opinionated, brave enough to be sometimes wrong and fearful of no one, Savage seems strong medicine for the likes of lackeys like Smith. Imagine the first woman to hold the high office of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, known to commoners as as the Home Secretary, admitting that she decided to publicize the names of a hit list in existence since last October, “to show the type of behaviour Britain will not tolerate,” according to U.K. news reports. Unfortunately for her, the world already knows the type of behaviour Britain all too willingly tolerates. Other countries, including Canada don’t count on hit lists when they ban people they don’t want to allow in like British MP and antiwar activist George Galloway. Canada did not bother with the symbolism of putting his name on a hit list last March, they just banned him from coming into the country. Galloway has already announced he plans to sue Immigration Minister Jason Kenney over suggestions he supports terrorism. The defamation notice, the first step in starting a defamation action, was also served on senior members of two Jewish organizations as well as a top aide to Kenney. In March, Kenney refused to intervene in a decision by the Canada Border Services Agency to ban the 54-year-old Scottish MP on national security grounds from entering Canada for a series of speaking engagements. Along with Kenney, the seven-page Galloway notice also names members of the Canadian Jewish Congress and B’nai Brith Canada. According to the BBC, on her personal hit list, Smith lists “Michael Alan Weiner (Also known as Michael Savage).” They got that wrong, it should be Michael Savage, “also known as Michael Alan Weiner”. Ten million Americans a week know MAW as Michael Savage, the number three rated radio host in the U.S. Couldn’t be that someone was being stealthy in trying to make a point of Savage’s Jewish name? Smith explained to Britain’s GMTV that she believed it was “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.” Oh really? It’s not bravado and not a list that Britain needs anymore to prove its superiority over others. It’s something it has been missing since it starting bowing down to demands for Sharia law. It’s moral courage that the Britain of today so sorely needs.
