Would it be racist to ask how we ended up with people like him in this country in the first place?

No, he's British born.

Which breakfast TV show had him on for a bit of 'controversy' years ago? Not a decision that has aged well.

Not sure about that, but it looks like he did appear on Newsnight and was roundly condemned by the other panellists; I didn't see it personally.
Wiki
Choudary has regularly attended public marches and, following a protest march outside the Danish Embassy in London on 3 February 2006, held in response to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy.

As a member of a panel of interviewees on the BBC news programme Newsnight he claimed that the police had inspected and allowed the controversial placards used in the demonstration.

Choudary was criticised by his fellow panellists, who included Ann Cryer (then MP for Keighley), Humera Khan (al-Nisa Muslim Women's Group, who accused him of demonising Islam), Sayeeda Warsi (vice-chair of the Conservative Party), Professor Tariq Ramadan (who claimed that Choudary's actions were designed to evoke a strong response from the media), and Roger Knapman (leader of the UK Independence Party).

I was referring to this country's immigration policies since the end of the last war. 

 

Bloody Huguenots, coming over 'ere, taking our weaving jobs.

Good, vile man.

 

No doubt he will be held in high esteem by certain factions in our prisons and will no doubt still be preaching his hate whilst inside.

Heard on the news at teatime that whichever gaol he's destined for, he's going to be put in a special isolation unit with like minded individuals, that keeps them separate from the mainstream prison population.
