The UK has done it again! Things are always darkest... just before they go pitch black.
Only days after banning Geert Wilders from entering the UK, the Brits have allowed the Holocaust denying bishop, Richard Williamson into Britain. Williamson was just de-excommunicated by the Pope (himself a former member of the Hitler Youth). Here is why this whole thing stinks: Geert Wilders made a film that quotes ACTUAL texts cited by ACTUAL Muslims in the commission of ACTUAL violent acts. Now Williamson has forwarded a theory that states that demonstrable history is in fact a fake, that this hoax was perpetrated by a group of people (the Jews), who have conspired to enlist the help of every Jew and every government to extort money from non-Jews... and this just HAPPENS to be a clone of ancient anti-Semitic stereotypes (blood libel, Jews run the world, etc...). I commented on why Holocaust denial is anti-Semitism here. So Britain has denied the entry of an elected politician from a UN member state who did nothing but cite demonstrable fact in a short film, and allowed entry of a man peddling an anti-Semitic lie, denying demonstrable history, who had even been excommunicated by one of the greatest anti-Semitic organizations on the planet for being anti-Semitic.
Who does Williamson meet with upon arrival? None other than Holocaust denier and discredited non-scholar, David Irving. You can read all about that meeting here.
What kind of country listens to threats from a peer who has been convicted of reckless driving and killing a man (notice his close personal connections to the genocidal government in Sudan). {He has also been quite boastful in the Muslim world (media) about his ability to intimidate the British government} And what kind of country, after claiming free speech can be censored because people would be "offended" then allows a Holocaust denying, neo-fascist, religious cleric into the country?
I fully support Williamson's right to deny the Holocaust. It is offensive, stupid, and immoral, but all of those things are his right to embody. But how hypocritical could one government be, to in the course of a week deny a certain right to one man, and extend it to another? Does Britain even care anymore? Has the self hatred of the liberal government become so great that they cannot even muster the pretension of decency?
Just remember if you are planning a vacation to London, criticizing fascism will get you banned, and promoting fascism gets you admitted. It's hard to believe Orwell was an Englishman.

The British Left and I finally agree, we both wish they had never been born.
