Shock jock Savage to sue Smith

Jacqui Smith's list of undesirables included the shock jock, Michael Savage. She doesn't like what he says and he doesn't like what she does, or has done. So he's going to sue her and the government for defamation. Good luck to him, I say. Not because I think anything he says is right or wrong, but because he has a right to express himself, so long as he does not break the law of this country or his own.

The Americans have the right approach. They ban people from obtaining visas if they have a criminal record and they exclude people if they are wanted by their own countries. Jacqui Smith has just publicly announced that this chap Savage is a persona non grata in the UK because she finds his views objectionable. So she links him with terrorists and torturers. "To link me up with skinheads who are killing people in Russia, to put me in league with Hamas murderers who kill people on buses is defamation," he said. Sounds like it to me.

Get yourself a good QC, Mr.Savage, and sue the woman big time! After all she's been pocketing cash from dubious expenses, so will be able to afford it. Have you thought of mentioning that on your show?
