By allowing Griffin his (democratic) right to speak and air his views, the mystery is broken and we all get to see him for the person he is, consequently the BNP will disappear from politics - hopefully!



I disagree with that sentence. The BNP are just as practised in the art of spin as any of the mainstream parties - in fact, probably more so. letting Griffin speak publicly won't reveal the truth behind his vile ideology at all - just more platitudes about how "we're not a racist party anymore - no, really. Honest. We're the victims of multi-cultural racism against the white British citizen, not the perpetrators"

The only way to expose how these people really feel would be to join the party and clandestinely film one of their meetings (as has been done in the past by reporters from both the BBC and Channel 4).


But, when he speaks people see him for the knuckle-dragging, neanderthal, racist that he is.
I agree with the idea of another "expose'", but stifling free speech is a dangerous precedent and prevents the moral high ground being taken in areas and countries where it suits peace, democracy etc, etc... How can we complain about Abu Hamza et al spewing hatred, violence and other garbage, but stifle Nick Griffin?
