Well i think that is very fair of you as absolutely NO BNP members who have been expelled from their Trade Unions have ever been involved in inciting racial hatred.

I suppose the question is what is it that consitutes inciting racial hatred. For instance the leaflet that was put out in my name by a complete nutter certainly could be considered as trying to incite hatred, on the other hand, many people are imprisoned for using strongly termed language opposing multi-culturalism.

I personally do not believe in thought-crimes. I believe if someone has an opinion, then it is their right. I believe that if somebody offends me, that is their right, as it is my right to offend them back or do whatever i want or disregard them. I do not believe however that 'offending' people should be a criminal offence.

Away slightly from the thread topic, humans have offended each other since the dawn of man, and will always continue to do so, because that is human behaviour. To begin to imprison people for offending is silly and absurd.
