Again with the lefteze double standard: "Gordon Brown's Cabinet has also quietly agreed that Muslim men with more than one wife can now claim benefits for these extra spouses – while bigamy remains a criminal offence for everyone else, punishable by up to seven years in prison.

Ayatollah of Canterbury - Love it!

Good commentary from Peter Hitchins, I think Peter is brother of Christopher Hitchins, but not sure as the coffee is just about hitting now.

Seems that our British bretheren may be in the process of “losing their way.” Or should I, perhaps, frame that in the past tense.

"Compare that with the Government, which poses stern-faced as the foe of "terror" and noisily jails figures of fun such as Abu Hamza while greasily pretending that there's no connection between Islam and terrorism."

This is Christopher Hitchen's brother, am I correct? I love the way this guy sticks it to political correctness.

"Why is it that in Britain, alone of all countries in the world, the most exalted, educated and privileged have all lost the will to defend their own home? Most of us liked it the way it was before they began to "modernise" it. "

Of the ones who are not card-carrying Communists, Gramscians, or Illuminati agents, it may be a misplaced idea of being polite and tolerant in a liberal multiculturalist sense. Tea time for the Ayatollahs.

As a nominal Christian, he wouldn't make out very well under Sharia law, would he?

Church + State, the ultimate breeding grounds for sanctioned hypocrisy.

Mr. Hitchins gives a good British ribbing, and they deserve it!:)
