I WAS appalled to see Nick Griffin pelted with eggs whilst trying to address a press confer-ence. I thought we had free speech in this so-called democracy of ours.
I do not agree with many of the BNP’s policies, but leaving Europe makes sense, deporting the criminals makes sense and closing our doors to more immigrants makes sense.
I am not racist – the blood in my veins is 100% Polish though I consider myself to be 100% British.
We need a balance of views in the European Parliament, not just the PC happy-clapping do-gooders who can’t see beyond the end of their noses. 900,000 people have a right to be heard – you may not like what Nick Griffin says, but you should whole-heatedly defend his right to say it.
