Disagreement with the British government's policy on Iraq does not confer upon anyone the "right" to disrupt a meeting.
I recall that after the Brownshirts won a good number of seats in the German parliment, their immediate approach to representative government was to shout down anyone who attempted to carry on legitimate business -- like being allowed to speak without interruption from the floor.
So......who is it that is using facistic methodolgies here?
Insofar as "imposing restrictions on what people can or cannot see, hear or experience" -- as mentioned earlier -- European nations have plenty of restrictions on free speech -- especially on the criticism of certain groups. The US has very little restriction on the same. Other than societally-imposed restrictions stemming from the plague of political correctness. It's perfectly OK to slam certain groups. It's not OK to slam certain others. At least they haven't made it into a jailable offense over here........yet.
The sharply rising tide of worldwide anti-Semitism seems to be more-or-less accepted as par for the course. But a child seeing nudity, and then someone else complaining about it is a far greater threat to us all. Something to really get worked up about. Now THAT'S an example of facism!
