Vlaams Belang Leader Interviewed
Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 8:23:56 am PDT
An interview with Vlaams Belang party leader Filip DeWinter, at Shire Network News: Podcast Implodes.
Tom Paine sets it up, probably for the last time:
I’m afraid we have some bad news. For reasons which are detailed in the podcast, this is probably the final Shire Network News, certainly at least in it’s current format.
We seem to have gotten ourselves smack-dab in the middle of the Blog Civil War that’s going on, and we managed to get ourselves ripped apart by the gravitational forces. Yes, yes, we TRIED reversing the polarity through the deflector array, didn’t work.
In part, the reason why “Brian of London” and “Tom Paine” in Australia have come to truce and treaty and the parting of the ways is the subject of this weeks special and probably last feature interview.
It’s with Filip Dewinter, leader of the Valaams Belang, the Flemish nationalist party in Belgium. As many of you already know, there has been a great disturbance in the Blog recently over the counter-Jihad movement cooperating with the VB and other European parties with questionable antecedents, such as the Swedish Democrats.
Shire Network News was offered the chance to put the tough questions to the man himself. And so, like idiots, we did.
And then...well, listen for yourselves.
For myself, “Tom Paine”, now that we seem to be in the Blogosphere equivalent of the week that Fort Sumter was fired upon, I reckon on lighting out for the territories for a spell, I figure I’ll be back when this has all blown over. And I’m sure all of us wish Brian of London great success with his family in their new country.
And perhaps it might be worth remembering that there’s a real enemy out there, and it’s not each other, m’kay?
Download it now, before it disappears.

The Shire Network News server is getting slammed, so here’s a local copy:
