COMMENTARY Once again, we are given 'badly needed broad, un-democratic, right-removing' laws to protect us from the dangerous individuals. Don't get me wrong, I am no fan of the BNP (British National Party), but it is obvious that they are gullibly being played to have an obvious political 'public enemy' who parade around demonstrating racism and hatred, so to demonise and semi-associate any desired 'rebel' into the same category. N.B. The clever use of the word 'extremist'... what the hell does that mean? That could include anyone who criticises the system. Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Suffrage, John Lennon, "burn your bras", "make love, not war", all of that could be construed as 'extreme'. But then again, don't the BNP threaten much of that also anyway? What a mind game! So what is the answer? New 'emergency powers' to formally create 'thought crime' laws. And then what? Will we go after all of those who have extreme beliefs? Anyone who accuses their own government of corruption at this moment in time is usually accused of being an extremist. Under such new laws, even I myself would be indicted, as would many others. Or maybe we extremists shouldn't be prosecuted, just barred from having a platform. What is happening here in the UK?. This is like 1933 Nazi Germany, (that should only please the BNP in some ways). The agenda is clear, oppose dissent and use the left versus right to do so. Joseph R. Skelton - 31st December 2004 MAIN ARTICLE BBC(I) NEWS UK EDITION > FRIDAY 31/12/2004 Law aids unions to bar extremists Trade unions have been given new powers to expel people who have extreme political views from their memberships.It follows a number of cases where British National Party members took legal action against unions after they were expelled from membership. Unions will be able to exclude those who contravene their rules on equality and diversity, the government says. "We welcome the support the government has shown us on this issue," said TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber. But the acting general secretary of the train drivers' union Aslef, Keith Norman, said he wanted tougher measures to exclude unwanted right wing members. The Employment Relations Minister Gerry Sutcliffe said unions had been forced to pay large amounts of compensation to political extremists who peddled racist or xenophobic views. The government now hopes the provision will take away the financial incentive for cases to be brought against unions. A spokesman for the BNP opposed the measure, calling it an "outrage".
