Here in the UK at this moment, It would be very dangerous to repeat the words of Christopher Hitchens...
But they cannot arrest Christopher Hitchens because the poor buggers dead!
Transcript:-
Christopher Hitchens:
"Resist it while you still can and before the right to complain is taken away from you, which will be the next thing. You will be told you can't complain because you're Islamophobic. The term is already being introduced into the culture as if it was an accusation of race hatred, for example, or bigotry, whereas it's only the objection to the preachings of a very extreme and absolutist religion. Barbarians never take a city until someone holds the gates open for them, and it's your own preachers who will do it for you and your own multicultural authorities who will do it for you. Resist, resist it while you can."
Chatty says:-
Christopher Hitchens’ comments are framed as an intellectual critique rather than an incitement of hatred or violence. He is discussing his perspective on how certain aspects of Islam, as he interprets them, may conflict with Western cultural values. In contexts where freedom of speech is protected, such critique is typically considered lawful as long as it doesn't cross into hate speech or direct incitement of violence.

Manhole makes perfect sense to me since women don't go down there if they can avoid it.
