"A PERSONAL STATEMENT" - definitely not written by Rik Willis
Firstly, let me say how grateful I am for all of the comments I have received in the last couple of days. I have been deeply touched by the messages of support, both from my own party members, former members of the National Front and those who disagree with my views but have told me that that were extremely happy to hear what I had to say and were rubbing their hands with glee.
It's political correctness gone mad. What has the world come to when the silly lefists can round on you for praising a racist dictator? Sure, he may have suppressed opposition, subjugated the black population and had people murdered, but what would you prefer? Stalin's Russia?
However what I find despicable and underhand is the way a certain person has since then tried to create mischief. That individual (and I have a VERY good idea who it is) contacted the Press Association, other national media, local Lib Dems in Reading and Lib Dem Voice website to try to make the maximum capital out of what I said. Without him, no one would have read my comments on a publicly available web site read by thousands of politically active people.
However, from now on I shall not post as Rik W anymore. I shall use another name (or names) and you can have fun trying to work out who I am. Should be easy though, just look for the posts praising white dictators, murderous right wing juntas, joy at the death of Edward Heath and calls for the return of hanging... especially for any lefties out there.
