Theory: our government's real motivation in embarrassing us internationally by banning George Galloway from the country is to ultimately create the political will to overturn our hate speech laws by getting everyone running around yelling about freedom of speech.
(Aside: What I'm still trying to figure out is whether British MPs are subject to security screening and required to maintain security clearance. I'm almost certain (like this) that Canadian MPs are. If the UK works the same, then he would have already undergone screening that ensures that he isn't a threat to UK security and can be trusted with state secrets. I know they're a different country, but realistically can there be much of a difference?)
