Obituary

It is with great sadness that Frit notes the passing away of European civilisation. In their well paid wisdom, three judges in the Netherlands have decided the best way to preserve their future earnings is to put on trial a man who has been saying adverse but true things about the behaviour and intentions of some proponents of a certain religion. As Frit is not a religious person and knows little of religious matters and himself wishes to avoid prison if possible, he has no idea which religion this is and can’t anywhere near imagine. Maybe it’s Methodism. The three well paid judges, making up the law as they go along, insist that “In a democratic system, hate speech is considered so serious that it is in the general interest to... draw a clear line". So that’s it then. In Europe, freedom of expression now officially means freedom to express politically correct expression only. In shock, people are saying that this is happening in “one of the most liberal societies in the world”. Sorry, there is no contradiction here, TYRANNY IS EXACTLY WHAT LIBERALISM IS ABOUT!!!!

(Disclaimer:
Frit would like to point out to any big-earning judges amongst his readership that all opinions expressed on this site are expressed for the sake of irony and for entertainment purposes only. They are not to be mistaken for the genuinely held beliefs of the author in any way. In fact, all opinions, including any that might concern Methodists, can be taken as being utterly insincere and as actually intended to imply the exact opposite of what they imply. And Frit retracts every word of it all in any case. No prison food needed.)
