The anti-BNP campaign didn't do themselves any favours by doing that, they just played in to the hands of the BNP. They claimed they were "defending democracy", how can that be the case when they prevented a democratically elected politician from giving a press conference? I'm not defending the BNP, I felt sick when Griffin gave his speech after being elected. But this is not the way to fight them, you're just giving them even more ammunition. Its the same as happens in the Middle East. Western governments enforce or encourage democratic elections, then when they don't agree with the result they refuse to deal with them, ie Hamas. It just makes a mockery of democracy. |

And this is the well.
Drink full and descend.

Clearly this whole egg-throwing is a disgrace and is to be roundly condemned. If they were close enough for eggs, they were close enough to throw bricks at the gobshite.

Changing the subject here but I've just seen that Brown hopes to change the election voting system. Talk about desperate times for him.

That sounds quite a good idea for those of us worried we might make a cock of the first two goes - not sure which of the main parties to vote for? Vote for all three* of them *That's the Tories, Lib Dems and UKIP, obviously |

Will that mean more papers for Talk Talk to spoil and ironically waste trees in the process?

Yes but there would be a referendum before anything radical takes place - a pity he wasn't so open abuot the Lisbon Treaty or whatever its latest name is. He's fucked no matter what unless Talk Talks cunning plan of spoiling papers takes off big style. |

The egg story made my day. Play in to the BNP's hands? I don't think so. Seeing them scurrying back in to their cars was a beautiful sight to behold.
Loved it so much, I damn near went and changed my avatar.

It gave them publicity and keeps them on the front pages. I do find the "treat the BNP like shit" attitude to be quite amusing as its no better than the BNP attitiude to ethnics.
