At least harmless cartoonists don't get their door kicked in by a SWAT-team, like here.

State intimidation, yes Co-hen

I can tell from personal experience that such a thing can happen to you here as well. I, my words, 'nominated Tjibbe Joustra for the golden neckshot' on Geenstijl and was summoned and charged, was interrogated for 6 hours they had over 20 pages on me despite me not having a criminal record. It was like a scene out of 'Das Leben die Anderen'. Creepy. Good thing that I know that you don't ever ever EVER talk to the police, was 2 years ago heard nothing about it

I knew it. Fragony is secretly a terrorist.

Do they have these kinds of files about everyone, what was in the files? I knew the privacy situation here is bad, but this bad?

Beats me, but they sure give themselve a lot of lattitude. The worst or best thing is they don't understand anything about anything, heard about cases where they wanted to know who 'ed' was when they heard an e-mail adress(@), such idiots can do that to you

On the theme of freedom of speech/expression, koran-burners are arrested in the UK.

Police state! Panic! Uproar!

But at least Gateshead Council left us feeling all warm and fuzzy:

"The kind of behaviour displayed in this video is not at all representative of our community as a whole. Our community is one of mutual respect and we continue to work together with community leaders, residents and people of all faiths and beliefs to maintain good community relations."

They are turning the country into a massive Millennium Dome - a bland mess which has the main quality of not offending anyone anywhere.

And the dhimmi-award once again goes toooooo

edit lol because it's england even watching it on video can get you dragged out of the bar by the bobbies, hardly surprising in a country where toddlers are haters because they don't like curry
