   The thing is, and you can dress it up anyway you like, that the The Guardian   
   has given house room to a fascist and they cannot see that person's fascism   
   because he is coming at them in a guise they do not recognise. This makes   
   them either stupid, supine, obscurely allied to Dilpaser Aslam's cause,   
   suicidally politically correct or a combination of all three. I'm betting a   
   combination of all three as Aslam was allowed to write, anonymously, the   
   paper's explanation about the affair and his own, as it were, epitaph.   
      
   Defences that run along the lines of 'The Grauny's so cool it gives free   
   speech to people like Aslam' are bollox (though I believe that's what gets   
   said over wine at Farringdon Road) because it will be a hot day in January   
   before we see a member of the BNP writing op-eds for the Guardian. And   
   Huz-il-tabir is further to the hard-right than the BNP. I checked   
   http://www.searchlightmagazine.com/ but nothing about them. Grimly funny.
