Geert Wilders Banned From UK

Well, if you haven't heard about this one, be prepared for a shock:

That article was from earlier this morning, and since then Wilders first had his ticket canceled by the airline British Midlands before he was able to somehow board a different plane to London:

Now I certainly don't agree with Wilders that the Koran should be banned, but the fact that the Netherlands is planning to try him for "hate speech" and then the UK is not going to allow him entry into their country is an absolute disgrace. This, from the nation that use to sing these lyrics...

Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame:
All their attempts to bend thee down,
Will but arouse thy generous flame;
But work their woe, and thy renown.
"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."

Really, what's going on in Britain nowadays is just too tragic.
