british mp’s mockery of freedom of speech
first it was the Foreign Secretary David Milliband’s gutless statements on Kashmir.
now it is Home Secretary Jacqui Smith
as the nations economy worsens,
and the evidence of their disastrous handling of the economy continues to surface
the more they have to rely on the muslim votebank to get themselves back into power
selling the rights and freedom of everyone else…
Dutch party chief barred from UK

By Michael Steen in AmsterdamBritain has taken the unusual step of banning a Dutch member of parliament from entering the country due to his stridently anti-Islamic views, prompting the Dutch government to protest. Geert Wilders, who heads the anti-immigration Party for Freedom, had been due to travel to London on Thursday for a screening of his film, Fitna, organised by Lord Pearson of Rannoch, a eurosceptic peer. The film criticises Islam, one of Mr Wilders’ main targets.
The Dutch foreign ministry said it “deeply regretted the decision by the British government to deny Party for Freedom leader Wilders entry to the country”. Mr Wilders told Dutch television he had received a letter from the British Embassy in The Hague informing him of a decision by Jacqui Smith, Home Secretary, to bar him for public security reasons.
To be clear, his film Fitna is to be screened in the Palace of Westminster.
Dutch MP Geert Wilders deported after flying to Britain to show anti-Islamic film

By Christopher Hope, John Bingham and Bruno WaterfieldGeert Wilders had been invited to Westminster to show his 17-minute film Fitna, which criticises the Koran as a “fascist book”, by a member of the House of Lords.
But on Tuesday Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary refused Mr Wilders entry because his opinions “would threaten community security and therefore public security” in the UK. Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen said Holland would press for a reversal of the travel ban.
Earlier on the flight, Mr Wilders had launched a savage attack on the Government. He said: “They (the British Government) are the biggest bunch of cowards in Europe. “I’m coming because I am invited by one of your members of parliament. I’m not provocative. I am an elected political representative. I am a democrat. I use my freedom of speech. I am using all the democratic means I have.”
Mr Wilders had been due to attend a screening of Fitna, organised by Ukip peer Lord Pearson, in the Lords. Lord Pearson said the screening would go ahead yesterday “with or without Mr Wilders”. In a joint statement, he and cross-bench peer Baroness Cox said they were “promoting freedom of speech” and accused the Government of “appeasing” militant Islam.
They added: “Geert Wilders’ Fitna film, available on the web, is not a threat to anyone. It merely suggests how the Koran has been used by militant Islamists to promote and justify their violence. “They react in fury and menace to our intention to show the film and have boasted that their threats of aggressive demonstrations prevented its previous showing in the Mother of Parliaments.”
… and so the pandering for muslim votes in Britain will continue.
biggest bunch of cowards in Europe – I totally agree.
