Breaking News: Wilders Denied Entrance to the UK
What hypocrisy.
Wilders is denied access to the United Kingdom - for fear of mass protests of 'followers of the religion of peace' ( hat tip Dave and remir)
There is nothing on the English newswires. I need a translation.
UPDATE II: From Klein Verzet (thanks Indie)
According to Elsevier and Geenstijl (both NL) report that Geert Wilders has been denied access to the United Kingdom, for fear that his presence may civil disorder. Wilders was on his way to attend the screening of Fitna in the House of Lords, after the first attempted was thwarted by 'lord' Ahmed threatening with a 10,000 strong crowd of islamites in the streets.
UPDATE III: Brussels Journal (Paul Belin)
This afternoon Mr. Wilders received a letter from the British ambassador to the Netherlands saying that he is a "persona non grata" in the United Kingdom. The ambassador told Mr. Wilders that he is a threat to public security and public harmony because of the controversy created by Fitna. Mr. Wilders intends to go to London anyway. "Let them arrest me in Heathrow," he says.

If Mr. Wilders is denied entry to the United Kingdom, it will be the first time that Britain refuses entry to an elected politician from another member state of the European Union. The Dutch government has lodged formal objections with the British government over the unprecedented barring of an EU parliamentarian by another EU country.
Yes, they will break ranks with the EU on the subject of Freedom of Speech.
I'm British and this story disgusts me. Ken Livingstone can invite Yusef Al-Qaradawi into Britain, a radical cleric who thinks homosexuals should be hung, Israeli woman and children are viable targets, the victims of the boxing day Tsunami deserved it for not being good Muslims and nobody bats an eyelid. Yet when an elected MP from a fellow European state who has the steel cajones to speak out against Islam wants to come over it's not OK for fear of civil unrest?
Churchill is probably spinning in his grave. What a sad, sad day.
