.. I could have written the respnse you just made on the BNP thread. Unfortunately, I'm getting it in the neck over on the Veil & the Cross thread so I'm only fighting one fight at a time.

I do find Nick Griffin interesting. I mean, he's obviously a nasty oik, but you can't argue with success, and he has successfully got the BNP into the debate in this country in a way which clearly makes mainstream politicians nervous. So on that basis, you have to give the guy credit for his PR savvy, if not his repellent opinions.

But what interests me even more is the way that when he pops up, people who believe their lefty liberal credentials inviolable suddenly start realising that they're only in favour of free speech if they agree with what you're saying. He really sorts the liberal wheat from the at-heart-oppressive chaff, doesn't he?

I agree he's repellant, (which is why I grudge being compared to him).

Interesting thread going on talking about equal opportunities. All the liberals are effectively arguing for a totalitarian state, controlling every aspect of society to make sure everybody is forced to be nice to each other. A strange concept IMO.
