The BNP, Freedom of Speech and Gordon Brown

Friday, 10 November 2006

I must admit that I cheered when I heard that Nick Griffin and his colleague had been cleared, unanimously, by the jury at Leeds Crown Court. But depression immediately returned with Gordon Brown's reaction that the law would need to be looked at again. His credo, to paraphrase the quote often attributed to Voltaire, would appear to be:
I disagree with what you say, and I will defend to the death the right of the state to use all the means at its disposal to stop you saying it.
This man must never be allowed to become Prime Minister. There is the frightening possibility that he could be worse than Blair.

The BNP should be outlawed period. The Germans poo-poo'ed a similar party which said the same things and used the constitutional speech clauses to get away with it - the Nazi party pulled the world into another world war - NEVER AGAIN.

Do you know how many soldiers died so it would not happen again, ever?
