Oxford Union Invite Racist Speakers

[Peter Parka]

They should be encouraged to speak, so that everyone can know the full extent of their idiocy.

Unfortunately people won't know the extent of their lies if they speak because they are full of propaganda. If you wan't to know the truth about the BNP read an independant investigation or two into them. I've read up unbiased stuff about them and it's interesting to know some facts about them that people don't seem to know. For starters their economic policy would send our country bankrupt if they came into power. People don't know about that kind of stuff though because all the BNP bang on about is how bad immigration is and that the're going to stop it. They fail to tell you that they are going to increase spending on border control by 300% as well as pumping a huge increase of money into other services while also drastically cutting income tax. People also wrongly assume they support the war in Iraq. Wrong! They don't give a shit about anyone not white and English and would immediately pull all troops out of Iraq, Afghanistan and everywhere else abroad and would not support the USA in war any war!

Of course they are morons, but I think it would be entertaining to see them being laughed at.

 

[Peter Parka]

I think hes saying that the British government stops that sort of thing from being said. I was in London back when the UK was backing us in Iraq and outside Parliament were a bunch of signs that people put up at night condemning the UK's support. they can be arrested for anything viewed as treasonous.

Protesting a war isn't treason. Treason is supporting you enemies literally in a time of war or doing anything which poses a direct threat to the goverment. People are allowed to protest here, they only get arrested if they start breaking the law while protesting.

It wouldn't be funny if it got so heated it started violence, which is very likely, and innocent people got hurt.

 

[Peter Parka]

could you explain innocent bloodshed?

Killing people in an illegal war based on a lie is innocent bloodshed but I've already debated this with you in another thread.

Its not for the purpose of laughing, its so study why they think what they do, sure they may be a little nanners and whatnot, but just because they think what they do does not make them a moron. Granted, denying the holocaust takes some serious close mindedness but it does not make them morons.

yea but how are Islamic Extremists innocent.

I didn't know that citizens of the UK had the right to assembly.

Nope, I disagree. It makes them morons.

Well yeah, if the make threats then that would be bad.

:homo: These people are very good at propaganda and lies to get people voting for them. That is clever and takes a lot of skill and makes them dangerous unlike if they were morons.
Just a small point here but freedom of speech is all very well but think about this - If it had been limited in certain circumstances in Germany years ago, do you think the Nazis would still have got into power? Even if they did somehow, it would have been a lot harder for them!

You might be thinking about how they are not allowed to protest within a certain distance of the houses of parliment. Thats seen as a security risk apparently. That is more contriversial though and not something I particularly agree with.

Thanks for shedding a bit more light on that Peter. Your explanation would make sense. Security is a must.

 

[Peter Parka]

Yeah but within reason. There was a single guy who camped outside parliment for a few years to peacefully protest the war on his own. I fail to see what a security risk he was.

He could have swallowed a bombz!!!:eek

I have a feeling that that they would have just found a different emotion to play on but point taken.

 

[Peter Parka]

He was actually a bit of a tourist attraction in the end. He used to be given food and cups of tea by interested tourists who had heard about him on the news. I miss that guy!

When did he stop?

 

[Peter Parka]

When did he stop?

Too be honest, I'm not exactly sure but it was probably around the time the government brought in a new law to stop people protesting outside of parliment, I do remember him being on the news and being quite pissed off about it though.

Edit, here's all about it...
