    Felt I had the right to express my views on this highly contentious issue, it is clear Griffen is a racist, but I still support freedom of speech reminds me of a poor mans Enoch Powell. On the unneeded bump, excuse me, did I insult anyone with this post? Then why do you complain, and add petrol to the fire by replying to this so called " bump ?"

    its just, well, 24 pages of debate on a contentious issue, and you don't bump with your follow up post's point, but with a 'no.' a single word. an opinion you could've expressed by voting in the pole. I don't get it is all

    What I sometimes find about men like Nick Griffin is that they are a bit like used car salesmen.

    Everybody knows they generally cannot be trusted, but they are very gifted at manipulation of the truth, in that they know that to tell a credible lie, you must pepper your lie with at least some truth.

    That's the problem with guys like this. It can be difficult to disassociate the truth that they do employ on one hand, and the bilge they emit on the other hand.

    I voted no to the poll; but reluctantly so. I would hesitate to apply free speech to those who are as manipulative as Griffin, but in the end we have no other real option, for the protection of free speech is too sacred to allow even men like Nick Griffin its revocation, and indeed the support that he might garner from that.

    Anyway I know the matter is closed now, but it's an interesting question about free speech in general.

    Griffin mounts people whilst flapping his wings, cackling we need deterrants like him that stand to reason as the last bastion of winged defilement
