I’ve seen the future: it’s scary and Belgian

maandag 26 april 2004 | Actualiteit

“…The real reason why the Belgian authorities have been bent on banning the VB for years has nothing to do with racism and the rights of immigrants. It is that the party advocates secession from Belgium and the establishment of a Republic of Flanders.”

“… Belgium is in many ways a mini-EU: an artificial state created (much like Europe’s three former such states, the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia) as a result of political ideology rather than any sense of national unity, and held together by a political class which is prepared to subvert democracy to achieve its ends. Add to that a judiciary which, far from being independent of the political establishment, is an important part of the problem… and you have a recipe for what took place in Ghent this week: democracy, Belgian-style, in which you may vote only for a party whose views are approved by the elites.”

Stephen Pollard, socialist en adviseur van de Britse Premier Tony Blair in The Times.

I can’t imagine a real politician would say such a bullshit. Or it should be an extreme conservative dick, like all the people who presume that democracy and free speech have been infected. It’s just not true. A political party that is discriminating and being racist on certain people (just guess what kind people…) has to be stopped. In Belgium there is a superb law that forbids racism. Well, it has FINALLY been used. Cope with it and cut the crap.
