‘Humiliation’ for Nick Griffin

Oh dear. The BNP are having to cough up £60,000 in legal costs and cannot recruit new members until they rewrite their constitution. Oh dear.

It is important to note a key distinction in today’s ruling as outlined in the Independent:

The judgment found that, while not unlawful to hold discriminatory views, it is illegal to use them to control entry to a political party.

…Though I doubt that will stop Griffin saying that the BNP are being silenced for expressing their views….going down his usual matyrdom route, in other words.

"There is a refreshing frankness to the musings of Liberal Burblings which single this blog out. The ability to not mince one's words is highly prized here and, when combined with the ability to profane without insulting the reader's intelligence, is excellent. Whether pondering on the state of the Lib Dems, the country or the world at large, you can rely on Liberal Burblings to tell it like he thinks it is." - www.politics.co.uk
