Geert Wilders leads Dutch polls

Thanks to Britain refusing entry to Geert Wilders because he would 'harm social harmony', his party is now leading the polls in the Netherlands. Let's hope the Dutch are going to the polls soon. Telegraph

Mr Wilders has benefited from the publicity provided by Dutch and international headlines that followed a decision last month to ban him from showing his anti-Muslim film, Fitna, in the House of Lords.

His attempt to enter Britain, his detention and subsequent deportation, following an order by Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, have made the Dutch MP into a free speech martyr and celebrity in the Netherlands.

New opinion polling now puts Mr Wilders ahead of the Christian Democrats, who lead a coalition government.
