This should work both ways. If Nick Griffins hate speech is to be censored, then the police and the public in general need to STOP accepting hate speech when done under the guise of religion.

Soldiers returning from Iraq being abused and receiving death threats, for instance, is disgusting and offensive behaviour, and yet it was tolerated for the mostpart.

A bigger insult on top of that would be that a couple of folks who retaliated were automatically arrested.

I do not take people too seriously if they lambast the likes of Nick Griffin, whilst allowing the likes of Abu Hamza to freely spew his extremism.

I may have only given a couple of examples, but the failure to treat all hatred with equal contempt is something which regularly disheartens me.


i do agree with most of what you say and you do give plenty of disgusting examples but surely to defend the right of even the most disgusting in society is still the right thing to do, let them hang themselves by allowing them to be heard instead of making heroes out of them.


I was speaking regarding those who wish to take free speech away from the likes of Nick Griffin, but at the same time they do not speak out in the same way when another group try and oppress someone else.

Personally I am not for censorship, people tend to hang themselves pretty well and those who do not realise that free speech comes with a degree of responsibility tend to burn out pretty quick.

I find it a tad inconsistent for those who are condemning Nick Griffin not to also condemn other fanatics, this is my point. Appeasers make me pretty sick.

When one's politics replace ones sense of decency, it ceases to impress me.

Nick Griffin should be allowed to speak, no amount of egg throwing will alter the fact that he is now an elected MEP, and the reasons that was allowed to happen is down to all those who favoured apathy over making a stand. Running up the street with placards and half a dozen sodding free range eggs is pointless.


Show me a fanatic, no matter what side of the coin they're on, and I'll criticise them.

This thread is about one fanatic in particular though...

weeell i wouldnt call myself a "thug" exactly,
but I also think that sometimes and on SOME occasions violence needs doing,...especially when I see old film footage of concentration camps, and cattle trucks full of men women and children whose only crime was to be of the wrong race/religion/sexual orientation/ political group/ physical or mental state,etc etc

and then when faced with the type of person who either denies that this happened or agrees that it was the RIGHT thing to do,
( I dont CARE what the BNP SAY they stand for)

cause I have seen the video of Nick admitting that he is LYING just to get the people to vote for him and that when they get in power "things will change"
so yeah I HIS case I WOULD make an exception, Nod



well said...


Agree totally. Thumbs Up

We've been over this already, but why is it only Griffin's right to free speech that is mentioned?

Everyone has that right, and thus if I want to stand in front of him booing or whatever I'd be perfectly within MY rights to do so.

It goes both ways.

You CANNOT complain about his right being denied by people who are merely exercising theirs.

It is double standards, plain and simple.

well for free speech he should be allowed to say what he wants (and hang himself maybe) and yes the leftie thugs should have exactly the same right to say what they want to say, but that isnt what they were doing though is it? i'm not aware that airhorns, threats of violence and throwing things constitutes freedom of speech.

I've already covered the egg thing about three pages ago, and I'm not really fond of repeating myself...

Basically what you're saying is, Griffin should be allowed to stand there and say what the hell he wants, but I wouldn't be allowed the right of reply if I was there with him?

That would be denying my free speech...

And seeing as we're all so concerned about Griffin's right being denied, it'd be hypocritical to do so.

There really is no argument against this that doesn't result in somebodies right to free speech being denied, which we cannot allow of course... Simples.

Exactly!

Dodging a few eggs could potentially be the least of his problems.

Look what happened in USA the other day. A doctor who performs abortions, killed by a protestor.

If people feel strongly enough about something, crazy things can and will happen. Nick Griffen needs to keep this in mind when he's planning his public speeches.

No, it's not 'Simples' at all. The right to free speech isn't the complete freedom to say what you like anywhere you like. It's a qualified right.

Nick Griffin was going about his lawful business, giving a press conference to reporters. Those protestors were almost certainly commiting a public order offence by using insulting words and threatening behaviour.

As for your being disinclined to repeat yourself, all I can see of what you've said so far is that you think it's not such a big thing to throw eggs at people. Nothing about the illegality of it or about it being a right or not.

i certainly dont want to listen to what he has to say but all these nutters trying to stop him are as the op points out making him a martyr and thats no good for anyone.

and by doing so they are playing directly into his hands, they realy are stupid thinking that shouting him down is going to do anything but gain him publicity and encourage people to want to hear why a group of imbeciles are trying to block his free speech

just listen to the comments being called into r5live



forgive me BBBS but arent you the stupid one..I mean you voted for him Confused


i did not vote for him, i did vote for his party but not in support of it, other than their anti eu stance i find them vile but i did want to use my vote to make the biggest point i could.

i certainly dont want to listen to what he has to say but all these nutters trying to stop him are as the op points out making him a martyr and thats no good for anyone.


But BBBS do you think your vote really made any sort of protest?


look at the reaction on here to a single vote and the reaction from politicians on the bnp getting almost 1 million votes and 2 mep's, yes, i think its given them enough of a kick to get them to finally take notice that not everyone is a europhile



STOP trying to justify your actions as a protest vote......TBH I dont think you actually know, or cared to find out just what this party was about.......I mean you thought you could join them FFS

The BNP leader Nick Griffin was forced to abandon a press conference outside parliament today after protesters pelted him with eggs.

The demonstrators shouted "off our streets, Nazi scum" and chased him down the street to his car.

i do not need to justify my actions in voting to anyone thank you, i do see how mindless the auto responses of the left have been though, a mini forum version of the thugs in manchester on sunday or today outside westminster, all showing their true anti democratic colours

I'm pretty sure some of the things Griffin has said in the past wouldn't be covered by that... but there you go, you can deny my right to tear apart his reasoning with simple logic, but let him spout hatred from every pore of his body...

There's those double standards again.

No. You can say what you wish here, within reason. You can protest near the bloke if he's engaged in a press conference as part of his lawful business. However, those protestors were almost certainly committing criminal offences. They were also attempting to censor him. They had no right to do that. Do you agree?
