Flemish hate update

Good and bad news concerning the Vlaams Belang's attempts to broadcast its message of hate from Rampisham in the UK: Permission has not yet been granted by transmitter owner, the VT Group. In a post on his weblog on June 2nd, Jurgen Verstrepen, the presenter of the programme, 'ZwartofWit' ('Black or White') and member of the Flemish Parliament representing Vlaams Belang, indicated that it could be June 23rd before a decision is taken on whether to allow the show to go out on digital shortwave from the UK. Kudos to Victor S and everyone else who has taken up the fight to stop this from happening. Please keep up the pressure back in Blighty to send a clear message to people in Flanders that there is no place n a civilised society for parties such as Vlaams Belang.
Now to the bad news: Verstrepen's latest post (June 10th) says that ZwartofWit will be broadcast this Sunday on an analogue shortwave band, 13680 KHz (take note frequency jammers) from an as-yet-undecided location somewhere in the former communist bloc. This is in addition to a podcast of the show via his website. The post includes some horrible cant from the far-right politician about how the West used to send broadcasts to Eastern Europe to promote the cause of freedom and now it's the other way round. I don't know whether to laugh or vomit. Let's hope our friends in the East show their love of freedom by giving these hate-mongers the raised middle finger they deserve.
