Or how about "I am not a racist, but"?
Ultimately though if the BNP were to win an election in Britain, they would try to expel non-white citizens. There would be no freedom of speech. I know what side I'm on...
However, this forum member has not said anything offensive on the site, but has merely used the name of an organisation as his nick. That is a blatant attempt to publicise this organisation via the site. And link to that site and it is THAT I object to. If he wants to express views, I will argue with them. What he is doing is free advertising of a political party.
We had a long debate on the "old" site about so-called "Political Correctness" where racist views were expressed, following a letter to the Mag about the lack of Black faces in the photos in the mag. I thought the person who wrote that letter was an idiot, and just provided racists with ammunition, as you could see by some of the contributions to that debate. I and others patiently argued our views.
Directly linking to a site is different. It just gives the BNP publicity with no comeback.
BTW I get the impression it is a BNP tactic to publicise themselves on Websites which are not political. A number of (non computer) sites I visit have already had moderators removing such contributors.
MODS: Ignore this at your peril...
