I've just got in after a gig and chacked the news. Apparantly muslims can demonstrate on British streets carrying placards saying "Behead those who insult Islam" and "Massacre those who insult Islam" and no policeman will arrest them. Jack Straw apologises for cartoons. Either I've suddenly turned into a racist bigot, or this is exactly the sort of appeasement that led to the rise of Hitler. There is no way I could march through London with a placard saying "Behead all Jews/Blacks/ Asians/ Thatcher lovers/ Singer/songwriters or whatever, with out being immediately arrested.
What the hell is going on here?
I'm baffled, worried to hell, and feeling leaderless.
