With freedom of speech so much under attack in the Netherlands with respect to Geert Wilders, it's a little ironic that the focus has so quickly moved to the same issue with respect to the very same person but this time in the UK. And if you think that there is no chance that freedom of speech could ever be successfully challenged by one quasi-political ideology within the Sceptred Isle, think again. This is a serious development.
