The fact that I bring this video to you should in no way be construed as an endorsement of the BNP or its policies. However, I do feel that in a democracy, everybody’s views should be heard, however distasteful we might find them. There appears to be a concerted effort on the part of the establishment in general, and the media in particular, to silence Nick Griffin and his followers. If this is the objective, then there is a better way forward. Nick Griffin and his followers’ ideas should be challenged in debate, head on. This is the correct and civilized way to deal with this matter. Throwing eggs at him is immature and unworthy; it also endears him to many potential followers. – ©Mark
