blogolobI am in favour of free speech. So, if Nick Griffin (racist leader of the BNP) and David Irving (a discredited Holocaust denier) wish to hire a hall and make speeches they should be permitted to do so. 100%. Provided of course their speeches are legal and don’t insight racial hatred or violence.
However, for the juvenile publicity-seekers of the Oxford Union to give these two pieces of shit a platform by inviting them to talk on a debate on ‘free speech’ is wrong.
I completely agree with Trevor Phillips, the Commission for Equalities and Human Rights, when he says: “This is not a question of freedom of speech, this is a juvenile provocation” and admire the stance of MP Dr Julian Lewis who has resigned from the Oxford Union over this sorry affair.
