Apparently Brits are afraid of freedom of speech.

Britain reaffirms its ban on Michael Savage

"Why does the Cameron government protect Muslim terrorists and Muslim hate-preachers
who espouse the overthrow of the British government, democracy itself,
while banning Michael Savage from entering the land of their better forefathers?"

The US is the only country in the world that has freedom of speech enshrined in its constitution. This is the one thing that sets America apart from every other country.

Different country, different laws. Take it up with Parliament.

Even still I have no idea why anyone in Britain would want to listen to that jerk anyway.

Just like a liberal to want to ban something they don't agree with.

Because Michael savage is worse than a Muslim terrorist.

Michael Savage has suggested on his radio show that liberals should go to a concentration camp.

He never wanted them to go to a concentration camp.
He was criticizing liberal Jews for putting their progressive liberal agenda ahead of the survival of their own people.

Actually it is enshrined in most countries constitutions, including UKs, although UK is one of the very few, if not the only, European countries where religious/racial hate speech is against the law. You can say whatever you want in US either, so I guess freedom of speech is not 100% free.

Actually, it is found in the constitution of many other countries, including the UK. However, most of those those countries do not shy away from openly acknowledging what is unacceptable. In the USA, such restrictions are undocumented, so "completely free" is merely a lip service to present the perception of free speech as the reality.
