Good. My work here is done.Lunar Scorpion said:Sorry to wee on your bonfire, but the library do not have the BNP website blocked.Wookie said:No, the reason I want them to stand is so I can have another debate with a librarian, because I would bet the library's public internet connection blocks the BNP website whilst letting us view the website of Other Political Parties.
No, that was pretty much my only reason.Lunar Scorpion said:You're going to have to come up with another reason for wanting them to stand!
Redwatch aren't a legal paid-up political party, they're a bunch of twisted oiks. Thus I feel no need to extend them the rights of a LPuPP.Lunar Scorpion said:The library do, however, have Redwatch blocked - which the BNP claim to have nothing to do with anyway. I can't even see my own pictures!
Now, the right to free speech, even for twisted oiks...
AFAIK they're legitimate and democratically elected. Unless you have evidence otherwise? Evidence of voter intimidation, count rigging or the like?Lunar Scorpion said:This would never happen. By allowing them a platform to speak, it legitimises the BNP - which is exactly what they want!shoes said:Organise and host a meeting with them and LMHR so you can publicly debate viewpoints and beliefs. May not achieve anything, but it might achieve something. You never know.
Says...?Lunar Scorpion said:The BNP are trying to come across as respectable politicians - councillors hardly ever speak in council meetings (that's if they turn up to them!) because a lot of them have orders to keep their traps shut, in case they say something that might be what they actually think...
Really? Does that appear in any minutes anywhere; a local version of Hansard or whatever?Lunar Scorpion said:Also, presumably, so that they don't come out with such things as Steve Batkin's contribution to one Stoke on Trent City Council meeting: "What does 'abstain' mean?" - I shiz you not.
Great; wheel that and similar out. Get them broadcast. Put attributed linked quotes from them in your signature.Lunar Scorpion said:Indeed, that is a fine picture of N. Griffin. How about a video - have you seen this little gem? Nick Griffin stars between 0:48 and 1:41, although you may find the background information useful.dirtybobby said::photograph:
