Sinn Fein won their seats years ago. They are 1000% worse.

Cpunk, you think the above is Blah, blah, blah?

Someone throws an egg at Nick Griffin? Big deal. He wants to deport black families who have lived here for generations. Which is the bigger threat to British democracy?

No I think you are missing the point. The egg(s) is/are irrelevent, that they put a stop to free speech with violence is not.

I blame the unelected EU for having these elections in the first place.

1. Introduction of legislation allowing discrimination on the grounds of sex and race.Fascists are not the only ones who use positive discrimination
2. Off-balance sheet financing (a Mussolini innovation). A Mussilini innovation? And only fascists use it?
3. Sidelining of the legislature, including deliberately misleading the house.I know I sound like a broken record but . . . .
4. Politicisation of the Civil Service.Foreign socialist and communist parties also did this
5. Partial suspension of Habeus Corpus enabling imprisonment without trial and a reduction in the availability of trial by jury.This is not a fascist only trait
6. Expansion of the criteria under which governmental and other agencies may enter private property without due process of law.Hmmmmm, ever read Solzhenitsyn
7. Use of the police to intimidate and harass political opponents.Done by all political extremists at both ends of the political scale
8. Collusion in the use of torture in breach of international law.See 8
9. Initiation of conflict in possible breach of international law.Were all countries who participated in the Iraq war fascists?

Your case definately wasn't proven Fyrdman

cpunk - Sorry to see you don't like your prejudices disturbed by facts.

That's an interesting partnership you've imagined.

No decent person can allow this dramatic turn of events to pass without protest. Every legal political party

Do you want protest or not? In one sentence your condemning it and in the next demanding it...... you seem confused?

Reading this thread I'm amazed when I read of those who did vote for the fascists as a 'protest' vote. Your vote is your authority to govern, one can only assume that some people used their hard won right to vote for a party that they didn't want to represent them in the European Parliament. Seems a little backwards to me?

How many times does this have to be said?

Protest - yes.
Protest with violence - no.

Its not rocket science.

Very good research on who voted BNP and why on Ch4 site http://www.channel4.com/news/article...nd+why/3200557

Ah..... I see, can't say I saw any violence to be honest just some egg throwing (could have been tomatoes I suppose in that well tried and historically familiar method of protest)

I do agree however that the whole episode was counter-productive. I suppose that sometimes it just takes a little push for people to be moved far enough about issues they perceive as a threat to their freedom to protest. I thought the whole event more Benny Hill than Stalinist though.
