"The lining up to bully MBSGeorge on this thread is amazing."

Indeed it is. But it's typical.

Given the fact that she has had the courage to openly state what amounts to absolute heresy here, you would think someone would at least want to know why she holds the opinions she does? And maybe discuss the actual issues?

Naww....better to just gather in a snarling mob and "burn the witch". Soooo emotionally satisfying.

(I might add that I am not in any way a BNP supporter or sympathizer. I know little about the BNP other than the fact that virtually everyone here goes ballistic whenever they are mentioned. Evidently they equate to modern day "Nazis" in people's minds. Since I know very little about them at this point, I'm not really in a position to offer much opinion about that.)

Democracy, however, allows all shades of opinion to be expressed, does it not? Or do we get to decide what opinions should be shouted down and silenced because we are "the good people"? Shall we excommunicate MBSGeorge for joining the BNP and daring to say so? Should I call the inquisitors and the executioner in now?
