Famous only in America 'shock jock' Michael Savage received a welcome boost to his ego by home secretary Jacqui Smith.
Unheard of in the UK, Michael Savage was due to visit Britain to air his extreme right wing views.
An insider said of the shock jock "presales for his up coming book 'I'm A Tool With A Big Mouth' have been very poor, the publicity that he's now getting is priceless".
Other books include 'I'm Right Everybody Else Is Wrong', 'Bloody Foreigners, Stay Out Of America' and his best selling 'Straight Is Great Everyone Else Can Die'.
A spokesman for the Home Office was unavailable to comment.
British megastar Timmy Mallet said " It's people like him that are really only interested in self publicism. Human rights and the right to be whoever you want to be mean nothing to this man and if I was ever to meet him I would introduce him to 'Mallets Mallet' and no mistake."
