Will suing the BNP accomplish anything?

Posted by | September 2, 2009 .

The BNP is going to court.  Though I am not a supporter, as I’ve stated many times before, I still do not see the point of all this. If the BNP are illegal, why were they granted the right to be a political party in the first place?  And, once granted, why were their members [...]

Politicians show immaturity and idiocy in spending row and the BNP issue

Posted by | June 11, 2009 .

Gordon Brown and his cronies are sounding extremely childish with regards to this silly row over spending.

Ban on religious protests should be extended
