Freedom of speech fine until the invective is against you
Question time has had many racists on in the past - including racists of many different skin colors. Why is BNP so different: just because they do not try to cast their racism in code or is it because they are white?
What better way to expose the bankruptcy of their ideas than putting them in the public forum?
People try to ban things when they fear those things are winning. Banning is often the last gasp of a corrupt and dying regime. Surely we can beat back racist nonsense without resorting to facist tactics?
PS: "Hitler won the votes of the majority. Would the BBC have done him the honour, too?" Of course they would - it's their job.
