Freedom of Speech

With thanks to Goodnight Vienna :)

What has happened to The Slog?

One of my favourite bloggers "The Slog" site is down.

Anyone know what has happened?

The Trial of Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, Day 1

This is Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff. You may have seen the post written by my fellow blogger Calling England.

She stands accused of "“denigrating religious teachings". Of course this can only mean Islam. It is the only religion that lives in fear of being criticised for its savage, barbarous, third world practises.

This is an important trial (as well as the Geert Wilders farce) that will give us an indication of our rights of free speech within the totalitarian dictatorship called the EU.

You can follow the trial at The Gates of Vienna (very apt).

I wish her well and hope that the judiciary see sense and find her not guilty.

Free Speech, Respect and Scum

Muslims against Crusades have applied for a static demo in London tomorrow Exhibition road (nearest tube south kensington) at 11am. They plan to chant “murderers and rapists” through the 2 minutes silence.

The police have confirmed this is happening and theres nothing they can do about it.

Geert Wilders on Trial

A true fighter for Freedom of Speech, Geert Wilders

The Wilders On Trial website is up and running in English so you can follow the events of his trial.

Possibly one of the most important trials for Freedom of Speech this decade.

"It’s hard for people outside the Netherlands to realize that this is the trial of the century. For those parts of the world that still cling to the tattered shreds of Christian civilization, the outcome of the Geert Wilders trial is of enormous importance.

The judicial fate of a single Dutchman will help determine whether we can rekindle the dying embers of our culture, or whether instead we must shuffle off meekly into the twilight of dhimmitude and sharia" ... Gates of Vienna.

Have we been silenced by Islam?

Guardian Poll - Should the blogosphere be regulated?

"Baroness Buscombe, chair of the Press Complaints Commission, is reported to be considering extending the PCC's remit to the regulation of bloggers, as they often now break news stories".

She'd like to kill what's left of our democracy!

They want to close the last bastion of free speech!

They can fuck the fuck off!

JACQUI WAS WRONG TO BAN GEERT WILDERS

Tee hee, hey Jacqui, having a bad week? Good!

Do you know how much grief you have caused us? it’s being reported that Dutch MP Geert Wilders has won his appeal against being banned from the UK. According to Radio Netherlands:

"The Asylum and Immigration Tribunal in London has ruled that the British government was wrong to deny populist Dutch politician Geert Wilders entry to the United Kingdom. Mr Wilders planned to show his film Fitna to the British parliament. The government refused to allow him to enter the UK on the grounds that he represented a threat to public order. It is not clear whether the tribunal’s decision means that Mr Wilders is now free to travel to the UK. The British government has not yet reacted to the ruling"

IT'S BEEN A GREAT DAY FOR FREE SPEECH

AND PLEASE MR WILDERS, YOU WILL BE WELCOMED IN THE UK!

GAG LIFTED - POWER TO THE PEOPLE

The existence of a previously secret injunction against the media by oil traders Trafigura can now be revealed.

Within the past hour Trafigura's legal firm, Carter-Ruck, has abandoned an attempt to prevent the Guardian from reporting proceedings in parliament that revealed its existence.

Wasn't really alot of point, we all knew about it already!!!

POWER TO THE BLOGS!

Silencing the Free Press

Here is my two pennyworth! Just because Trafigura want their dirty polluting details to be kept quiet and Barclay's dodgy dealings leave much to be desired, The Guardian has been gagged from reporting something that is IT'S RIGHT TO REPORT SINCE 1688!!!!

What this government have done to our rights is inconceivable and even treason!

Since they have been gagged, the blogosphere will always ensure that any "gagging" order will indeed have the reverse effect to what is intended....

In the name of FREE SPEECH, FREE PRESS, OPEN DEMOCRACY....... The Link

The Question (so I am led to understand) :

Paul Farrelly (Newcastle-under-Lyme): To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of legislation to protect (a) whistleblowers and (b) press freedom following the injunctions obtained in the High Court by (i) Barclays and Freshfields solicitors on 19 March 2009 on the publication of internal Barclays reports documenting alleged tax avoidance schemes and (ii) Trafigura and Carter-Ruck solicitors on 11 September 2009 on the publication of the Minton report on the alleged dumping of toxic waste in the Ivory Coast, commissioned by Trafigura.

Live Traffic Feed.

I installed Live Traffic Feed on my blogs this morning. I was curious to see if anyone else in Spain read my blog. I've taken it off again. It made me feel like I was spying on people. It made me feel uncomfortable. I don't moderate or insist on an identity on my blogs and I certainly believe in the freedom to surf anonymously.

Here's a thought.... all those that have these collating "widgets" may be assisting the ISP's/government in their collection of data...ouch... 

Nuff said!

Geert Wilders

I have been reading in the news and various blogs about the controversial film "Fitna". I got one of my young friends to download it for me from a torrent site as I wanted to make up my own mind before I commented on it. 

I don't read arabic, so I don't know if the translation is literal and I also don't know how moderate muslims interpret the verses mentioned, but if extremists are using these verses to murder people, then I would consider them a danger to us all. 

It is the people in this film and those that support their ideals that should be arrested for inciting violence and murder! Geert Wilders merely exercised the right we are "meant" to have to FREE SPEECH. If moderate muslims are to separate themselves from the extremists, they must speak out and condemn these people. If we do it, we are called racists, it is up to them.

No doubt the bible contains similar material and we don't all go round executing each other in the name of our Gods.

If you haven't see it yourself, I have found a copy here. I'm not sure how long the link will stay up but it's the only one I can find with English subtitles. If you want to download it, I have found that VideoDownloadHelper (which is a plugin for Firefox) will do the job.

I am not a religious person, infact I would describe myself as a non believer. I am also of the opinion that religion has caused more wars, death and misery than anything else in the history of the world. I do however, believe in Free Speech!

I find it increasingly worrying that the more extreme members of Islam are managing to control many aspects of life in the West. I cannot understand why the UK is allowing things like Sharia Law to become part of our legal system. After all, to be fair, we have to conform if we visit or move to an Islamic country. What makes them so special that we all have to change our way of thinking and our laws to suit them in the UK?

It's a sensitive subject purely because they have manipulated governments into making it so by complaining everytime Islam is criticised. 

What the government and Islam have to understand is, we live in a democracy. I may not agree with what someone says, but I will argue to defend the right for them to have that opinion.

I therefore, officially SUPPORT GEERT WILDERS

Death of a Democracy

This post is inspired by the arrest of Damian Green. It's a subject that concerns us all and has become increasingly serious since NuLabour have come to power. As each day passes, I am astounded at the pace at which the government seem to be taking over each aspect of UK life.

NuLabour can hardly be accused of being a moral, ethical party so to have this poor man arrested by anti terrorism police is absolutely an overstepping the boundaries of normal police power. Mr Green has a wife and two children, what on earth must they be thinking?

If this is an attempt by NuLabour to discredit the Tory party in any way, then I am sorry to inform them that this has backfired! All they have managed to achieve is to convince the electorate that they are indeed living in a police state and rapidly speeding down the road to a communist regime.
