Al-Tajdeed Radio

William Joyce was tried and hanged, not deported. And at least he had the common sense to broadcast from Berlin. Imagine if Lord Haw-Haw had been calling for Nazi victory from a radio station based in London. These days he would probably qualify for a grant.

A London-based radio station that calls for attacks on British troops in Iraq should be closed down, a shadow minister has said. Al-Tajdeed Radio, which is transmitted in Arabic to Iraq and Saudi Arabia via the Eutelsat Hotbird satellite from studios in London, is sponsored by Saudi dissident Mohammed al-Massari and partly funded through listener donations.
