Why is it in a so called free democracy some groups are unable to voice their opinion on what they believe to be right?
The BNP viewpoint is a prime example of the opposing majority stifling a minority simply because they disagree with their principles.
Surely they (BNP) have as much a right as any other to say what they believe in, be it against any others points of view or not.
I myself am not an extremist or a radical by any means, but I am always open to any groups reasoning without prejudice.
You do not have to agree with them, but please don't punish them out of hand, after all didn't the Nazi's do a similar thing?

I agree everyone should have their say, we don't have to agree, or listen to them.

Here here they should be allowed to put their point across like the rest do.

Had to laugh at the "Unite" lot who were behind the chucking eggs at Nick Griffin incident. Their spokesperson said that they were all for freedom of speech, but not for fascists. So.... basically they're all for freedom of speech until somebody says something that they don't want to hear.
