I find the views of the BNP abhorrent and it's easy to smile queitly that the members of this party are getting their comeuppance. But the right to free speech and privacy are the cornerstones of a democracy. I can see why there is an argument for sacking those in frontline public service jobs but in principle I don't think anyone should lose their job over this.

yeah, this is one of the most ill-considered things I've read on this site, possibly even on this subject. democracy isn't a justification for illiberalism, intolerance on either side of the right wing / left wing divide. in my view, people are definitively entitled to their own individuality - if I choose to hold politcal views that most people abhor then I should be able to. just like if I want to watch foul mouthed and disrespectful comedians on the bbc I should be entitled to.

I'm not quite sure of your point Jeremy? If it's that the list shouldn't have been published, I'm not arguing against that, just that I personally find it hard to feel that much sympathy now that it has.

As far as the 'with power comes responsibility bit'. Yeah, I agree, Martin. Having read it back, it's totally pompous and overly dramatic, perfectly worthy of a bad Star Wars script, but self-editing isn't always that easy when in full flow.

As for knee-jerk? Doesn't it lay out different sides of an argument? Not quite sure how to address that.

Nonsense blog post with dangerous ill-thought knee-jerk opinions

I agree. Your blog is arguing in favour of public shaming which is a very right-wing thing to do. And quotes such as "with power comes responsibility" makes me think of shite Star Wars prequels. Poor.

What rubbish; the BNP is distasteful and offensive but we do live in a democracy and inciting mob rule is a dangerous and stupid thing to do. A far better blog than this points out that the BNP should be defeated at the ballot box and not the barricade. I agree

Ha! I was at SMX London this week and had to endure Abi Titmuss being interviewed about Celebrity Come Dine With Me - I'd take Robert's curious interviewee style any day!

Don’t worry, Peston will fight to see another day – he’s got the collapse of global fossil fuel markets to look forward to. Should be suitably catastrophic.

In the words of the great man himself, 'I can exclusively reveal that' it was defintiely him. Without wishing to sound insane/creepy, for the last six months he's the last thing I've seen, or heard, before going to bed and ditto when waking up!

Very impressed with the new look, crisp and clean, and much easier to navigate.
