Actually, I am wondering why Michael Savage would even want to go to Britain any more. If they have gotten so lame brained that they consider him a threat while allowing radical Muslim cockroaches to spew their garbage, maybe Britain has become a lost cause.
"There are several exceptions to this including obscenity, defamation, incitement to riot, and fighting words, as well as harassment, privileged communications, trade secrets, classified material, copyright, patents, military conduct, commercial speech such as advertising, and time, place and manner restrictions."
Not to mention 'free speech zones'...
And there is an interesting map on the freedom of press 2009, where the US is not at the highest level, unlike e.g. Japan, Canada, Germany and most Scandinavian countries. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...nkings_Map.svg
Re: "free speech zones", the SCOTUS said they were constitutional in Madsen v. Women's Health Center. It's interesting that the 6-3 vote in that case was not what you'd expect. The 3 dissenting justices, who argued that "free speech zones" were unconstitutional and violated the First Amendment, were Kennedy, Scalia, and Thomas.
Basically, there is free speech around the world. As long as you can speak or write you can say what you want anywhere. Only the sanctions vary from country to country. While in some regions such as the US, Europe or Australia there are no official sanctions for hardly anything you say, there are unofficial sanctions on the part of the people, the media etc. For instance political correctness.
In the US for instance you can say you find religion x stupid, but if you do you can forget about being elected into a political office. Or try saying you are an atheist or gay while running for president
Society always finds ways to condition the individual.
Yeah lol and they kept Snoop Doggy Dog out as well.
And rightly so, Snoop Dogg and his idiots behaved like Neanderthals in Britain, read up here: Snoop Dogg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The US routinely denies entry to individuals who have been convicted of crimes. Canada does the same. Even DUI is enough to get refused entry there.

It's "free speech with consequences". Like if want to, you could publicly burn a Koran in Afghanistan but your head would be quickly separated from your body.
It's their country and they can ban whomever (or is it whoever?) they want.
I believe nobody has an absolute right to visit any foreign country they please ... for all I know Bolivia might want to ban Kirdik for the way he dresses or Sri Lanka might want to ban Bulldogdad for his folksy attitude or Moldova might want to ban me because I like Bruce Springsteen.
Folksy in a gun lovin, freedom lovin, God fearin, taco eatin, Los Lobos lisnin, 4x4 drivin, sort a way. LOL
Cant stand his politics but thank goodness for the BOSS.
Great Britain is so backwards. They ban right-wing pundits as "hate speech" but they're perfectly happy to allow Islamist extremists spewing their jihad hate speech every day on the street corners of Londonstan.
