CENSORED

Yesterday I posted an article by Holly O, “The Last, Wild Ride of Britannia.” I said in my introduction that:

Holly O is one of the most perceptive observers and trenchant writers on the internet. She doesn’t write that often, but when she does, its always worthwhile.

The article did not flatter Holly’s native country, its policies on immigration, or the immigrants themselves. It was originally posted on The Burning Platform website. Today, the article was removed from The Burning Platform. Holly has evidently run into problems with the British authorities (she was previously fined for an article that disparaged feminists) and asked The Burning Platform administrator to pull her article. So as not to compound her problems, and because I believe it is probably what she would want, I also removed the article from SLL, with the following notice:

[APPARENTLY HOLLY O’S ARTICLE WAS CENSORED BY THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND SHE WAS FORCED TO TAKE IT DOWN FROM THE BURNING PLATFORM, WHERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED. TO NOT COMPOUND ANY LEGAL DIFFICULTIES SHE MAY HAVE, I HAVE REMOVED HER ARTICLE FROM SLL AS WELL. IT’S A SAD AND OMINOUS DAY WHEN THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT CAN STOP TWO AMERICAN WEBSITES FROM PUBLISHING. THIS IS DONE NOT IN DEFERENCE TO THAT GOVERNMENT, BUT TO NOT MAKE HOLLY’S SITUATION ANY WORSE THAN IT MAY ALREADY BE.]

The hour is late.
