In the wake of scandal over personal use of taxpayer funds and her controversial ban of talk-radio host Michael Savage, British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith will resign, according to the London Telegraph.
Smith has indicated she will step down when Prime Minister Gordon Brown reshuffles his Cabinet after this week's local and European elections, the British paper said today.
The Telegraph noted Smith faced humiliation over her husband's submission of a receipt to the House of Commons for watching adult films. She also claimed her family home as a second home under the Parliament members' allowances plan while staying with her sister in London. In addition, she allegedly charged a number of personal items as office expenses.
But on a BBC radio program today featuring Savage, a barrage of callers reflected public anger over Smith's surprising decision last month to ban the popular American talk host from entry into the United Kingdom along with murderers and terrorists.
Savage said the morning show had planned to take callers for only five minutes, but the segment went on for 30 minutes as phone lines lit up. Callers included a Muslim who said he was opposed to Smith's ban of Savage.
Don't be silent! Sign the petition to block government attacks on freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
As WND reported, the talk host hired lawyers in London last month to issue a defamation complaint against Smith.

Britannia may not yet be lost!!!!
Sorry, no. She stepped down over the expense scandal. The British are too far gone down the progressive spiral to care about their loss of freedom.
too funny.
There are some, maybe many, Britons with a sense of the rightness of Western Civilization and who are ready to resist the onslaught of both rampant PC and even more rampant Islam.
Now and then they are victorious.
If so, a pity then. We have a potential expense scandal here, but so far only the WSJ (AFAIK) has picked up on it. What an opportunity to clean house...
Sounds like she had bigger problems than Savage.
All work and no play was making Jacqui a dull girl?
You just can't make this stuff up, you really can't. :-))
I wonder is this will also end her plans for a “civilian security force”?
Thanks for da ping!
If this means Weiner is free to leave our country, I’m all for it.
Is the humiliation over getting caught, or *ahem* not being sufficiently interesting to hubby?
LOL!
LOL
Savage was hung out to dry by the US government. One would think that at least one congressman would step forward to object to the censorship of Mr. Savage.
Levin as a guest? Are you crazy?

Why have you never seen Mark Levin interviewed on any major television network? Levin, as you know, wrote an amazingly successful book entitled “Liberty and Tyranny.”
And THEN, find a way to support Redditch, Worcestershire, UK Conservative politician KAREN LUMLEY, who will face off with this Smith individual in her district in the summer of 2010. I dont think that US citizens can donate to her campaign, but maybe there is a way to support her, with volunteer work, something as a way to knock Jacqui Smith out of Parliament all together.
Here is where you do not only level the playing field and right previous wrongs, but you set an example so that the lously lib b*stard red diaper doper babies never again come after a Conservative US Political Radio Commentator and Host in conspiracy with the Obama Administration as they did in this case. They must be taught a Transatlantic Lesson.
