I do not condone racism... I too hate racists but unless they act it out they are not breaking the law and cannot be prosecuted for simply holding a belief.... no?
The fact it is not a crime - and it shouldn't be - does not mean that the views I have put across are not valid. Is not having a driving liscence a crime? ... No. But unless you have one you can't be a trucker. Is having shares in multiple big business' a crime? No... But if the President of the US or any other world leader did, they would not be able to keep their job. It is downright idiotic to think that being a member of the BNP is a special case, it is exactly the same. Being a member of the Labour party, I can't do any jobs in the Tory party, do I cry foul? No, I realise that my action of joining the labour party CLEARLY means that that avenue for me is closed, just like BNP members should realise that being a member of the BNP closes off avenues for them. If they make the choice, they face the consequences - if they don't liek the consequences DONT MAKE THE CHOICE. Simple as that, take some damn responsibility and stop hiding behind well intentioned, stupid people and liberties they don't even believe in and clearly don't understand.
