It's scary words time



Geert Wilders aiming to be PM after shock Dutch election result for far-right party and calls for immediate asylum restriction – as it happened


It's a live piece so things may change, but in the above Guardian piece via MSN, the terms 'far-right' and 'far right' occur 28 times while 'far-left' and 'far left' don't occur at all. It's scary words time at the dear old Grauniad.
