Britain’s Conservative Party has responded to the banning of Wilders with a full-throated reassertion of the right of free speech. Actually it didn’t. But a spokesman did come up with this:

“We have consistently called on the Government to tackle extremists. If Geert Wilders has expressed views that represent a threat to public security, then we support the ban. But people like Ibrahim Moussawi, a spokesman for the terrorist organisation Hizbollah, have not been banned. The Government must apply the criteria governing entry into the UK consistently.”

Oh well.
