Freedom of speech a right for all

Claire Fox, staunch critic of the BNP yet surprisingly likeable in her complete endorsement of free speech, gave another great performance on the BBC Radio 4 show The Moral Maze, which aired on Wednesday November 15 and can be heard on the BBC website.

She, unlike other left wing guests, advocates talking openly on subjects such as racism and religious hatred. I fully agree.

Nevertheless, the fact that white people will be a minority in Britain within 50 years, along with the fact that different races and religions directly impact their beliefs and widely differing cultural make-up onto a land which is too geographically small to cope with such a variation in population, should certainly be of concern to native Britons.

If we want to continue as a living entity in these islands, we must at least listen to all views and not be hampered by ridiculous laws regarding free speech.

If Liberals such as Claire Fox can make their views known, then equally Nick Griffin should be able to speak.

My biggest fear is that we are being plunged into an oppressive regime, similar to communist Cuba or Soviet Russia.
