BANNED IN BELGIUM
NROTC ^ | November 10, 2004 | Andrew Stuttaford

The Derb has already had plenty to say about the decision of Belgium's supreme court effectively to ban the country's largest political party under 'anti-racism' laws, but it's also well worth noting that one of the leaflets used to justify the ban was (according to the Daily Telegraph) a pamphlet written by a Turkish-born women denouncing female genital mutilation in Islamic countries.

It's also well worth asking whether Belgium (a country that sent 'observers' to the US elections) is, in any real sense of the word, a democracy. It doesn't seem so. And if that's case, what is it doing in the EU, an organization that likes to boast that it is a club of democracies.

Time, I reckon, to throw Brussels out of Brussels.

"(a country that sent 'observers' to the US elections)"

So are we going to send some FR 'observers' to all those countries that sent them here?

Do you have a source for that? I'm not saying it's not true, I just know that if I bring it up, someone will challenge my source.

The purpose of the European Union is to allow unelected bureaucratic "elites" to run Europe without having to get approval from any stinking voters

Indeed. Which is why Oswald Mosley, Britain's premier fascist and NAZI sympathizer during WWII, was such an early proponent of the idea.

There was a scandal involving the police chief in Brussels along with other city officials.
