DOWN THE TUBES AT THE EUROPEAN UNION: “If you want to see just where the EU is going, then take a look at sections 1205-00 and 1206-00. Both of them say that it is a crime to ‘insult’ the State, the Nation, the symbols of the State or Nation, or representatives of the State/Nation. Does this mean that it is considered a crime if someone writes an op-ed that is disparaging of a politician? Sure sounds like it.” Experience suggests that if challenged, they’ll say of course not. Then, in the right case, they’ll change their mind.
