FREEDOM of speech is one of the cornerstones of our democracy.
The open exchange of views and the expression of controversial opinions are bulwarks against tyranny.
Yet the British tradition of liberty is now increasingly under threat because of the state’s cowardly policy of trying to appease radical Islam.
In the name of promoting a spirit of tolerance, our civic institutions have become ruthlessly intolerant of anyone who dares to challenge some of the most repellent features of hardline Islamism, such as misogyny, the contempt for human rights and the resort to violence for political ends.
Blanket accusations of racism are regularly used to suppress debate about the problems caused by Islam.
Britain fought the last war against an anti-semitic, book-burning, totalitarian regime. Yet in a bizarre twist, the modern British Government now acts as the guardian of those Muslims who want to see an Islamic version of just such a regime in this country. In a monstrous inversion of our values, those seeking to uphold our freedoms against Muslim fundamentalism are now the target of state repression.

Perhaps the most worrying recent example of this trend was the outrageous conduct of the West Midlands police over a Channel 4 investigation into extremism within Birmingham’s mosques – Undercover Mosque. Anyone watching the programme would have been appalled at some of the sentiments of the Muslim clerics.
One preacher, referring to his eagerness to see British soldiers killed in Afghanistan, said that “the hero is the one who separated his head from his shoulders”. Another called for homosexuals to be “thrown off the mountain”, while a third believed that Jews will be killed at the end of time, accompanying his forecast with a snorting noise like that of a pig.
Patani, one of the new breed of police chiefs seemingly more interested in social engineering than in protecting the public, claimed that the producers had deliberately quoted the Muslim clerics “out of context” to suit an Islamophobic agenda. The West Midlands police, he said, had pursued Channel 4 “with as much rigour as the extremism portrayed within the documentary itself”.
Since when was it the job of the police to sit in judgment on TV productions, acting as a political censor? Is the West Midlands so free of crime that police can look through hours of TV footage, deciding whether a television company has shown sufficient obedience to the new doctrine of anti-racism?
Mr Patani was effectively exploiting the current row over TV fakery, suggesting that the investigation into the mosques was just another distorted documentary, like the BBC’s notorious programme about the Queen, in which editing of the footage appeared to show Her Majesty storming out of a photoshoot when in reality nothing of the sort happened.
In fact there is no evidence that Channel 4 was guilty of any kind of manipulation. None of the participants complained about the programme, nor was there any denial of a right of reply.
This controversy only shows the disastrous influence of the Marxist creed of political correctness, where the police have become so neurotic about Islamophobia that they have turned themselves into political commissars.
This worrying pattern can be seen in so many other areas. Only this weekend it emerged that the BBC had decided to rewrite an episode of the popular hospital drama Casualty because it feared the original storyline, about an Islamist suicide bombing at a bus station, might offend Muslim sensibilities. So the BBC replaced it with one about carnage perpetrated by animal rights activists.

From what I've read from Leo Mckinstry's articles is that he seperates himself from media porn bags such as Gaunt and Littlejohn, because he doesn't feel obliged to customary slate the BNP.
The latter columnists are media porn bags for the reason that they are not affiliated to any party, but they are simply affiliated to their ever increasing, bulging pockets.
They are affiliated to the newspaper that they write for and therefore are ordered to do the honourable duty in slating the BNP, before election time for more ££££££££. Exactly, money talks, but these media porn bags are unpatriotic people, but merely greedy capitalist pigs that are unconcerned about the future of England/Britain.
Columnists of the same ilk of Gaunt and Littlejohn will simply abandon ship when the going get's tough or should I say the multi-cultural fire get's hot!!!
They'll pack their bags and bog off to Spain, coincidentally with all the other Brits, who have abandoned ship.
This leads to worrying times ahead. In England/Britain we are becoming or should I say turning into 'unthinkable' people. We are turning into people with no direction or purpose, because the life and soul of our society, our cultural heritage, disappears, day-by-day, month-by-month, year-by-year.
We, the 'unthinkable' zombies are turning into the 'living dead' whereby we will not be able to think for 'ourselves' but the state will think for us.
Society has been torn up by politically correct, left-wing/socialist dogma that supports criminals that have only served half their sentance, but can be released to terrorise the innocent in our country, that contains illegal border jumpers that should NOT be here.
Our government condone the above, because they are the idiots that have allowed our country to be turned upside down, where anarchy exists, and people who are afraid to speak their minds when something is wrong.
Our government wish to shut everybody up, so we don't have FREEDOM OF SPEECH to say what we like, because our masters disagree with our patter.
I say SPEAK and SING from the roof tops and stick two hoots up at our Red Star government.
