We deny civil rights to many, and to many around the world... Yet, you concern yourself wtih England not running out the red carpet and offering a podium to hate mongers and reactionaries... Are there not some battles needing a fight in this land???Why do we always ignore freedom here, and defend it abroad???The answer is simple...Power hates justice and democracy, and will export it anywhere it will do damage to peace and order...Thanks...Sweeney
