New Developments on the Wilders Case

Here is an enlightening discussion on the Wilders trial at View From the Right. It appears that Wilders's trial has been delayed for several months. European contributors, including Dutch blogger Snouck Hurgronje and Belgian Paul Belien who is the Vice President of the International Free Press Society, give their insights on the trial in the ensuing comments. Apparently, no-one other than VFR and Snouck is reporting on this delay, including other vocal pro-Wilders sites in the States, Canada or Europe.

Snouck makes an interesting observation in the first link above:

I wonder whether Mr. Wilders agrees with us about Health Care. He got into politics on his expertise of the Dutch Health Insurance system. Beforehand he worked as a staff member for the Sociale Verzekeringsraad (Social Insurance Council) and before that on the treaty department of the Ziekenfondsraad (Council of National Health Insurance).

It is all intertwined, isn't it: Universal health care; Human Rights Commissions; repressing journalists reporting on issues regarding Islam; high levels of immigration. If one of these is running amok, then the others are there, or getting there.
