Last night’s controversial Question Time with BNP leader Nick Griffin went something like this:

Dimbleby: “Good evening. I’d like to welcome our panel tonight. Well, all of them bar one of course”
[audience laughs nervously]
Griffin: “I ..”
[audience boos, ecstatically]
Dimblebore: “That’s really quite enough from you, Mr Griffin”
[enthusiastic applause. Cries of 'quite right']
Dumbledore: “First, I must just apologise for the screaming and breaking glass you may be able to hear. I’m told that the UAF have peacefully stormed the building and are now peacefully smashing the place up”.
Dumbledore: “and so, to our first question. Gentlemen with the cross face..”
Angry Asian: “Nick. Is it that you love Churchill and hate Muslims, innit?”
[applause]
Nick Griffin: “I didn’t..”
Baroness Wassup [interrupting]: “Yes, you do, don’t you, you do”
[prolonged applause]
Dumbledore: “Moving on now. I’ve got photos’ Mr Griffin, of you standing near a man from the Klu Klux Klan. Does the very existence of these photo’s not prove, beyond doubt, that you’d very much like to strap a black man to the front of your pickup and drive all round the bayou at high speed?”
Nick Griffin: “Well, I..”
Bonnie Greer [interrupting]: “Don’t you try to tell me about no KKK. I’m American.”

    As a British patriot with strongly held views on Liberty of conscience, Liberty of thought, Liberty of speech and Liberty of action, based in a faith in the freedoms set out in an admirable line through Magna Carta through the US Constitution, I am absolutely dismayed at the direction our less-and-less-free societies are heading in.

    Liam, glad to see you’re still ‘tuned in’. It’s been a while I know. And I’m even gladder to see your devotion to liberty hasn’t waned.

    Cheers John. I’ve been dropping in, never fear.

    I’ve been thinking a lot about issues of freedom of thought and conscience of late. Partly because a period of unemployment has forced me to take a job in the civil service, with all the attendant monstrosities of thought control and indoctrinaton which seem to be a part and parcel of working for the British government these days.

    But mainly because almost everywhere I go these days I seem to come across ugly, fearful groupthink which is in favour of banning things, of stopping people’s ears to prevent them from hearing things they might not like.

    As I’ve said before I’m not a libertarian. I like to think of myself as a true independent. But I am mightily glad to have people of your school of thought around, to help challenge the dangerous idiocies and creeping “tyranny of nice” that seem to gain ground every day.

    I’ll try to keep in touch with the site a bit more regularly.

    You’ve probably been here about as much as I have… life is extraordinarily busy (too busy sometimes even to update with a recent show on some topic). Hopefully I’ll have more time in the coming weeks.
