The Telegraph has a interesting leader on the recent events in Holland. The paper agrees with the decision to go on with the election planned for next week. The paper does seem to agree with most of Fortuyn’s ideas for his country. The Telegraph seems to making an effort, unlike some other newspapers, to actually find out about the real man and his party.
They also run a piece by Norman Lamont on multiculturalism, book-burning, and fatwas. I do take issue with Lamont calling Fortuyn both hateful, “extreme right-wing”, & “far right”, or the fact he equates the man with Le Pen. The rest of the piece makes sense; oddly enough, much of what Lamont says is indentical to what Fortuyn had been saying all along. They are both right; it is impossible to integrate those who wish to preserve their culture if that culture routinely seeks to undermine or overthrow your own. This is not racist or xenophobic, it is merely self-preservation.
