Couldn't agree less Ake. The enemy of freedom is illiberalism and racism.

Whether practised by The BNP lot, Asians who think our supposedly secular values make us culturally inferior and deserving of rape and suicide bombs, or gypsies who think its okay to rip off people door knocking. I say supposedly -because I see more spirituality in the setting up of the NHS, than the The Bible, The Bhagavad Gita, and the Koran combned.

Freedom is not a soft wooly alternative, easily trumped by some bugger like Mussolini or Thatcher making the trains run on time. On the contrary it requires vigilance and has been only won by the blood of our sacred dead.
