Statement of Principle
The strength and survival of free society and the advance of human knowledge depend on the free exchange of ideas. All ideas are capable of giving offence, and some of the most powerful ideas in human history, such as those of Galileo and Darwin, have given profound religious offence in their time. The free exchange of ideas depends on freedom of expression and this includes the right to criticise and mock. We assert and uphold the right of freedom of expression and call on our elected representatives to do the same. We abhor the fact that people throughout the world live under mortal threat simply for expressing ideas and we call on our elected representatives to protect them from attack and not to give comfort to the forces of intolerance that besiege them.Press Enquiries

Oh shock horror, another right-wing BNP supporter takes to the floor!
I think the whole BNP smear becomes even more laughable or distasteful as every day passes and the demo approaches.
I'm surprised more scrutiny hasn't been afforded to those who defend gay teenagers being executed in public because if that's not right wing I don't know what is. Scum.
libertine, keep taking the drugs and eventually you might start making sense.
huh?
peter tatchell a bnp supporter?
what drugs are you on anonymous?
Tatchell has a track record as long as your arm of involvement in the far-left in the 1980s and specifically campaigning against the NF and the BNP.
There is nothing right wing about state sponsered murder.
This is what really get's on my tits. Everywhere there are lefties who get responsibilities bestowed upon them, to only make wild crazy dictats, rules and exclusions, based on their wild assumptions of what anyone to the right of Ted Heath actually thinks.
Their is nothing "right wing" about any form of capital punishment for whatever reason.
China is hardly right wing and it's pretty hot on capital punishments. Oh yeah, what about the former USSR,? Another shining example. Are you going to tell me they was right wing?
It was a joke Charles
Hah. I note the Freedom Association (formerly the National Association for Freedom) will be speaking at this odious event. Talk about alliances with right-wing racist anti-working-class shitfucks.
Still, as the case of Ross McWhirter shows, not every one of the vicious bastards gets away with it. What a hoot!
Bit like the old joke: how many members of the royal family can you get in a Mini-Metro? A: five: The Queen in the drivers seat, Prince Philip in the passenger seat; Charles and Diana in the back. And Lord Mountbatten in the ashtray.
Particularly appropriate given the recent confirmation that Mountbatten was in the seventies involved in an plot to overthrow democracy in Britain and replace it with a fascist/military dictatorship. And the Freedom Association (then called the National Association for Freedom) were up to their necks in this coup-plotting as well.
This 'march for free expression' really is a bloc between liberal Muslim haters and a wing of the British far right - albeit the military-bureaucratic element of it, as opposed to populist plebian Hitler-cultists like the BNP.
How's that for 'free expression'?
Red Doodlebug
Wow, what a fabulously unpleasant post from red doodlebug. If you are defined by your enemies, then this march is saintly.
