Home Office name hate promoters excluded from the UK

Today, the United Kingdom's Home Office announced that, from last October to this March, 22 noncitizens seeking entry into the UK had been excluded from the country because of their history of fomenting hatred against various groups.  Last year, the Home Secretary introduced new measures against such individuals, including creating a presumption in favor of exclusion for all those who have engaged in spreading hate.

With this announcement, the Home Office published a list of 16 of the 22 people excluded from the United Kingdom for fostering extremism or hatred between October 2008 and March 2009. Among the noncitiizens listed by the Home Office as excluded was someone who many of you have heard about:  "Michael Alan Weiner (also known as Michael Savage) Controversial daily radio host. Considered to be engaging in unacceptable behaviour by seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence."

UPDATE:  Savage is threatening to sue for defamation
