Radio host Michael Savage targeted by UK to placate Muslims--emails

(UK Mail): "Emails written by Home Office officials privately acknowledged the ban on Mr Savage would

• provide 'balance' to a list dominated by Muslims - and linked the decision to Gordon Brown

• and Foreign Secretary David Miliband....

Now, correspondence released under Freedom of Information legislation suggests the banning of Mr Savage, whose real name is Michael Weiner, was based on a party political calculation made at the highest level of Government.

One message, sent by an unidentified Home Office official on November 27 last year, said that

• 'with Weiner, I can understand that disclosure of the decision would help provide a balance of types of exclusion cases'.

The documents include a draft recommendation, marked 'Restricted', saying: 'We will want to ensure that the names disclosed reflect the broad range of cases and are not all Islamic extremists.'

A further email confirmed the decision was approved at the highest level of Government, saying: 'HO [Home Office] intend to include Weiner in their quarterly stats...

• Both the FS [Foreign Secretary] and PM [Prime Minister] are firmly behind listing and naming such people.'

• One civil servant, again unnamed, counselled caution, saying: 'I think we could be accused of duplicity in naming him' - without explaining why - and even added that 'the fact that he is homophobic does help'." from UK Mail Online, by Glen Owen, "US Shock Jock Savage Targeted 'to balance least wanted list'" 7/25/09 ******
