re: #50 BadCollie

Well, clearly, the BBC agree with you (leastways they figure they’d *better* do so or get sued into submission).

I guess we’ll just have to disagree on this point — As far as I’m concerned, when a bunch of racist thugs try to destroy everything my country stands for, I’m only too pleased to see them gagged and marginalised. Lawyers or no lawyers, the *moral* thing to do is leave the BNP to whistle for their own publicity.

We are leaving one aspect out of this argument. the BBC is a publicly mandated media outlet. The only option here is to cancel the BBC’s charter and leave it to the discretion of private news media whether to cover the BNP or not.
