Nick Griffin acquittal
If you can’t already guess from my general tendency towards equality and human rights, I have nothing but contempt for the opinions of the British National Party. I would suggest that the vast majority of people in this country agree with me. But no matter how distasteful or offensive we find their views, it is essential for the health of our democracy that they are allowed to hold those views. Gordon Brown’s suggestion that laws should be amended to specifically outlaw the views of the BNP ((BBC News – BNP leader cleared of race hate)) shows that he has the same authoritarian tendencies as poodle.
