I'm not surprised he got let off.  However abhorrent I find his views, our country (unlike blonde )  is a democracy and we are lucky to be allowed freedom of speech.  It saddens me to say it, but there is a significant minority out there who share the views of the BNP leaders and spokesmen, hence the fact that members of the party are now sitting as councillors.

If we want to live in a democracy - and I presume most of us do - let's everyone have the right to express their opinions, however ridiculous

What if that view incites racial hatred or promotes child abuse?

then whoever expressed the view would be tried under the appropriate laws, as in this case.

I know that, but didn't you just say they should be allowed the freedom of speech?

yes I did, but it goes without saying that people should act within the confines of the laws of the land.  As far as I know, expressing ones personal view is not illegal, and that it what I meant by free speech. 

I would love to type up a fuller reply now but I was supposed to be meeting my drinking buddy 2 minutes ago   I hope it's pretty clear what I mean though without getting into semantics and having to supply specific examples.

When I was a young punk and faux anarchist I was given pause for thought when someone asked.

'What happens when your freedom limits mine ? '.

I think this applies to speech as well as actions.
