Let me see if I understand the BBC Rules of
Engagement correctly: if you’re Robert Kilroy-Silk and you make some
robust statements about the Arab penchant for suicide bombing,
amputations, repression of women and a generally celebratory attitude
to September 11 – none of which is factually in dispute – the BBC will
yank you off the air and the Commission for Racial Equality will file a
complaint to the police which could result in your serving seven years
in gaol. Message: this behaviour is unacceptable in multicultural
Britain. . .
