Well for one I think its great they temporarily banned it, and a real shame they gave in in the end and aired it. I dont know if youre familiar with BNP but theyre the neonazi party. The nonsense they talk may lack any sign of sense, but there are idiots out there who do mop it up. This is one of the few cases where I'm happy to support not broadcasting this sh--.
Keeping the jerks off the air is ok with me. This incident has nothing to do with PC. Its one thing to support the right of all to speak etc, but when youve lost 25% of your country's population to these f--- murderers the reality of it sinks in. It would be like the US airing the Taliban political party broadcast, only the nazis have done about (10 million divided by 3000) more damage, and are a far more serious threat. Your terrorism problem is a piddle compared to this. As far as free airtime goes, they can stick their speech right up their freedom as far as I'm concerned, and choke to death on it. I cant see any reason they should be allowed to live, let alone air this crap publically.
I think youve just misunderstood the situation, but just in acse you didnt, Do you support the Talibans right to free nationwide party political broadcasts across the US? Paid for by the taxpayer.
