Topeka's own gay hating preacher Fred Phelps and daughter/disciple Shirley Phelps-Roper.

The news of the ban on Phelps and daughter came out back in February but the Savage angle gave it new life.

Of the ban on the Phelps family, Smith told The Independent:

"If people have so clearly overstepped the mark in terms of the way not

just that they are talking but the sort of attitudes that they are

expressing to the extent that we think that this is likely to cause or have

the potential to cause violence or inter-community tension in this country,

then actually I think the right thing is not to let them into the country in

the first place. Not to open the stable door then try to close it later.

"It's a privilege to come to this country. There are certain behaviours

that mean you forfeit that privilege."

And the Phelps family's privileges have been revoked.

BANNING SAVAGE IS INTERFERING WITH HIS FREE SPEECH WHICH IS A DIRECT VIOLATION OF TWO INTERNATIONAL LAWS THAT THE UK HELPED AUTHOR.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Article 19

European Convention on Human Rights - Article 10

THEY BOTH SPECIFICALLY STATE THAT A COUNTRY CAN NOT INTERFER WITH A PERSONS OPINION.

THAT PERSON HAS THE RIGHT TO FREE EXPRESSION WHICH BANNING SAVAGE INTERFERS WITH HIS ABILITY TO DO SO.
