Britain First - Paul Golding

[agchristie]

Appears at court today but what of the charges he faces? The 'uniform' charge is bizarre to say the least. Short video in the link where Golding outlines the situation.

It is a pity that there is insufficient time for BF to challenge in the High Court, the decision not to deliver the leaflet by the Royal Mail. BF almost certainly would have won the case to prove it wasn't racist material.

Quite a non sequitur from the OP to the Best Answer, agchristie!

Is it a coincidence that a direct line of decent can be drawn from "the" National Front through "the" BNP to Britain First, and that you refer to Britain First as "the BF"?

It the answer is "Yes" then watch out for typos. They're easily made (as my "Faecbook" showed last night), so you need to be careful when referring to "the BF" - "B" is right next to "N" on the keyboard and, although "the BF" doesn't scan and is therefore an odd thing to write, "the NF" does and so would look more like what you meant to write ...

[THECORBYLOON]

AGCHRISTIE, on what is your assertion that BF would win the case, based?

[agchristie]

Ellipsis - the thread has taken a number of twists and turns predictably.

It's not my style to pick people up on their punctuality, I leave that to others...

My assertion is based on several legal opinions I have taken myself. BF have taken a barrister's opinion and a couple of other legal firm's opinions including an independent one.

We are unlikely to know but a 'win' was highly guaranteed but there is no time to challenge it

Ellipsis

Some people I know refer to going to 'the Asda'!

Easily done but point taken..

'It's not my style to pick people up on their punctuality'

Really?

'Zacs, your first post on this thread I believe?'

[THECORBYLOON]

The leaflet expresses the candidate wanting Medway to be English and says it will be flooded with more Muslim immigrants. That appears to be racist to me and an intent to stir up racial hatred or in the circumstances, likely to stir up hatred.

'Punctuation', tongue in cheek ;-)

Not wishing to patronise but are you in the legal profession?

[Zacs-Master]

Oh. Right.

As of 5 mins ago, there have been over 300 posts on this subject.

Who would have thought that out of that 300, there would be so few not supporting an openly racist and deeply offensive person like Golding and his equally offensive BF ? What far does our Far Right have to go, to lose support on AB ?

Supplementary question.....If Golding was still in the BNP and it was the BNP that were fielding a candidate in the forth-coming by-election, would there be so much support for him on here ?

[agchristie]

Mikey,

People are free to debate whatever, whenever for as long as they want - principles of free speech!

Voltaire - 'I may not agree with you but I will defend to the death yout right to speak'.

The thread has thrown up a lot of different issues, hence the length...

[THECORBYLOON]

I am not in the legal profession but then again it was not me who said the uniform had to be compulsory was it.

[Zacs-Master]

After 300-odd posts I'm still not really sure of Ag's stance on this. I think the crux of her argument is that the law is the law and should be afforded to each British citizen regardless of their political stance, which makes it look like she is a BF supporter. But it's taken an awful long time to establish that, if I'm anywhere near correct. But I'm still not sure

[agchristie]

TCL

The issue of whether it is compulsory will be discussed in court even if the act doesn't specifically relate to the point.

I repeat, why has nobody been arrested before when the BF have marched?

[mikey4444]

agchristie...I have no difficulty in agreeing with you at 13:13. I am the last person to want to stifle debate. But I am still surprised that the BF has not been castigated more.

Zacs has also made a point at 13:14 today......I will admit to be unsure myself !

[Svejk]

Don't let them grind you down, ag. This bullying, hectoring style is par for the course with 'them'.

Who would have thought that out of that 300, there would be so few not supporting an openly racist and deeply offensive person like Golding and his equally offensive BF ?



Can you please tell me who is suporting and who isn't, mikey.

[agchristie]

Svejk - thanks for the moral support! After 300+ posts though I think I've held my own.

Not many threads get this sort of total do they ;-)
