Geert to the UK?

Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders plans to go to London to attend the screening of his movie Fitna at the UK House of Lords - despite the fact that the British government banned his travel because his views 'would threaten community harmony and therefore public security.'

Normally, the Dutch government appears intent on shutting Wilders up. This time, though, it supports his right to freedom of travel within the EU. The Dutch ambassador will apparently be at the airport when Wilders arrives, to render assistance if need be. (Thanks to CNS News.)

The House of Lords' first attempt to screen Fitna was cancelled after Lord Nazir Ahmed threatened to turn out tens of thousands of demonstrators into the streets, and take the sponsors of the screening to court. In case you were wondering what street demonstrations in the heart of London by British Muslims are like, click here to see an alarming video.
