Keep airing these topics, like I will Nick as it is very important for a healthy democracy, the bigger the personal insults the more they have to hide in my view, from us and society as a whole. Freedom and freedom of speech is largely lost in the UK and EU land as a result of not standing up for these rights enough, which are fortunately guaranteed in that bastion of democracy the USA. I find it ironic that those that purport to stand up to human rights the most, actually do the most to restrict and destroy them for us all, through thought, speech and deed, but most of all the law as soon as it does not co-inside with their views. It very much reminds me of the old USSR especially Eastern Germany and the Stasi.
All too often they like to compare us with the Nazis, but like to brush under the carpet what Stalin did as he was a 'good socialist', whose views the majority of these people tend to agree with and are trying to impose on all of us. Personally, I find all intolerant political and religious dictatorships repulsive abominations. They all suffer from the same corrupt flaws of a supreme leader or leadership and a small elite who dictate to the many on how they MUST live their lives.
A free, just society can only be formed by consensus of ALL views, as this shapes what the majority find acceptable normals of behaviour in that society, which is what they seek to deny to us all. This is why IMO most modern western societies have lost their way and are increasingly artificial and IMO sick societies where this small vocal section of opinion makers consider their views the only views, on what is almost always IME the wrong view.
The human rights act makes the rights of the peodophile more important than the innocence of a child, the humans rights of certain religions and their beliefs to kill us and destroy a society are more important than the protection of our muddle our way through British way of life. In this country, we are no longer all the same in the eyes of the law.
I know who the real Nazis are and it is not you or me, where we are both libertarians, who believe in personal liberty, but also the respect and responsibilities to society and our fellow human beings that goes with it.
