A press conference showing of Geert Wilders’ anti-Islam/anti-immigration film Fitna has been cancelled by order of European party leaders. UKIP MEP Gerard Batten had invited Wilders to the parliament to show the film and give a talk. Now he will just give a talk.

UPDATE: (19 Dec) According to a Dutch news site, Wilders has claimed that his film will be shown in the House of Lords in January.

    I’m planning a follow up, a lighthearted sitcom looking at religious bigotry called ‘In Fitna’s and in Health’.
