BNP Protesters Egg Nick Griffin


Making the BNP martyrs like this is not helpful. Moral high ground is lost by suppressing free speech and physically attacking Griffin. Free speech is a right, you can't pick and choose who gets rights based on personal preference. As unsavoury as what he says is, as much as I loathe what he stands for, let people see him for what he is, challenge him and his policies. All of which can be done without violent means.

The BNP were democratically elected, their support will evaporate if why people voted for them was addressed. Herbert Morrison in a speech at an anti-fascist meeting in 1936, said that:
Fascism appeared to triumph in circumstances of economic decay and dissolution on the one hand and weakness in parliamentary and democratic leadership on the other. When chaos and depression obtained in economic and political affairs Fascism got its maximum chance, not upon its merits, but as a last straw for people who could see no hope otherwise.
Wise man, shame about his grandson.

Labour Censor

Click on image to enlarge


I was on Youtube and came across Labours official videos and channel. Their election broadcast has been up a week on YouTube and apparently only nine people have commented, all of whom want to vote or will be voting labour (see image above). Gonna85 is particularly interesting they said:
I'm supporting Labour on June 4th; real action for people now.
What make's Gonna85 interesting is they only comment and subscribe to Labour videos. They seem to particularly like Ed Miliband:
Ed Miliband is a great member of the party; he cares and listens. This is a prime example of a government listening and caring for people's needs.
There are other accounts that are very Labour focused, rating on videos are also disabled and clearly comment moderation is on. Doesn't that just tell you everything you need to know about Labour, censor those that don't see through the eye of Labour, that don't realise just how lucky they are to have them in government. As my comment won't be posted I'd post it here instead:
I'm not supporting Labour on June 4th; free speech for people now.

Jacqui's Least Wanted People in Britain

Jacqui Smith has published a Home Office list of 'least wanted' people in Britain. You have to wonder if she really thought through the headlines on that.

It's incredibly New Labour though, stopping people with undesirable views coming into the country. Heaven forbid the British public being capable of just not listening to them, or deciding for themselves.

In light of her "least wanted list" however, I'll put forward my own top five, bar the really oblivious politicians who are by default included:
5. Ronald Macdonald - The Macsmell that resonates out of that place is just worrying, animal, mineral or vegetable who knows? Other than the spotty teenage that has no MacHealth and hygiene qualification and is touching the food. Yet what do you expect from a clown that looks like Pennywise.
4. Spammers - I don't want any viraga, herbal remedies, any kind of enlargement or to talk to a woman from Russia on-line. Why are you emailing me?
3. Human Resources - Inhuman resources would be more accurate, or so desperate to not rock the boat and hang on to their job, they'll screw over every employee for the company.
2. Cadbury's gorilla - What has a sliverback flaring it's nostrils while playing the drums got to do with chocolate? Unless the gorilla opens a candy shop and gives out free chocolate, cut the pretentious rubbish and show me the chocolate.
1. People who Spit - A tissue, get one and just blow your nose. There's no need to hack up a large ball of saliva or snot and spit it on the pavement or wall.
