Home Office officials say Michael Savage, real name Michael Weiner, holds abhorrent views on immigration, Islam, rape and autism, which have caused great offence in America. That may be so. But are we now banning people because we don’t like what they think or say; or are we accepting that anyone who responds violently to a view of which they disapprove can effectively veto other people’s right to free speech?…

While it is the job of the Home Secretary to ensure the security and safety of the nation, it is not for her to decree what we should hear and to whom we should listen.
