What thoroughly snivelling bastards our politicians can be when it comes to doffing their hat to Islam! If, that is, Geert Wilders is correct in assuming that he’s been effectively barred from showing his film Fitna to members of the House of Lords in London.
Quick chronology: Fitna was to have been shown at the House of Lords.
Then it wasn’t.
Then it was.
Well now it probably isn’t.*
Wilders has told Dutch television that he had letter from the British government saying, “The secretary of state is satisfied that your statements about Muslims and their beliefs, as expressed in your film Fitna and elsewhere, would threaten community harmony and therefore public security in the United Kingdom.”
If this is true, then it’s disgusting. Just what “community harmony” is going to be threatened by showing the film to selected people at the invitation of a member of the British House of Lords?
Just how much more censorship will it take before Islamisation creeps so far into our lives that it takes over? It’ll take time, but if this goes on – this constant kowtowing, this appeasement – it will happen.
If it is true that Wilders has been barred from entering Britain, then we are truly living in 1984.

*It is now likely to be seen by the Lords, but of course Wilders will not be allowed to present it. See our later post here.

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
