I agree. I don't see why a political party championing an ideology which itself negates freedom of speech for those it opposes should have an automatic moral right to free speech themselves. Surely civil rights also entail civil responsibilities?

If neo-Nazis are entitled to express their views, where does it stop? Are paedophiles then entititled to do the same? It's a truism, but that doesn't make it any less true.

I'm hoping against hope that a member of the studio audience will trip Griffin up and expose his true colours by asking him a question like "What is the BNP's stance on inter-racial marriages"?, but sadly with them having been preliminarily "vetted" for any overt anti-fascist presence this seems pretty unlikely.

As for New Labour, this will be the last nail in their coffin. If Jack Straw is the most quick-witted and incisive opponent they can muster, the last vestiges of credibility they have left will disappear.
