Forget the Politics, but if someone gobbed in your face, could you walk away?

A waste of fruit & shows BNP supporters in their true light as thugs
Having said that, it was inexcusable to spit regardless of what he was saying or for what he represents, - but by just being there he & his entourage were probably looking & hoping for trouble

Ah, we are now getting close in re-opening the debate on the true definition of "free speech", and what rights or not any one person, or group possesses to express opinions either verbally or visually in a public place! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Where and when do we draw the line??

This BNP incident is a great example ;) ;)


I do not agree with the BNP, and I am not in agreement with Labour's John Prescott, but I certainly respected and applauded the latter's action...........that punch will always live in my mind along with a chuckle, and a "good on yer John"!! :D :D
