Britain's Acting Like It's Got A Pair

We're sorry you got offended by the Salman Rushdie knighting bit, but go fuck yourselves. You bombed our trains and we don't give a shit if you're pussy little feelings were hurt by it.

Earlier, Home Secretary John Reid said Britain would not apologise for making the writer Sir Salman, despite the protests.

"We have very strong laws about promoting racial intolerance. It isn't a free-for-all. We've thought very carefully about it," Reid said.

"But we have a right to express opinions and a tolerance of other people's point of view, and we don't apologise for that."

The interior minister said the government stood by the award, announced at the weekend in Queen Elizabeth II's Birthday Honours List.

"I think we have a set of values that accrues people honours for their contribution to literature even when they don't agree with our point of view," he said.

"That's our way and that's what we stand by."
