Free speech

There's a pretty hot debate going on in the UK about whether an extreme right-wing political party (the BNP) should be invited onto a mainstream talkshow on the BBC (Question Time). Such a sensitive topic has obviously elicited a lot of strong opinions (some rational, some emotional, some contradictory, some incredulous).

But i did enjoy very much this attempt to inject some (black) humour into the debate:

"Sadly there will be some who will listen to their talk of immigration as the root of all evils and agree without wanting to blame the reckless search for mega profits in the banking industry... They will listen to this man who lives in a massive house in the Welsh countryside and believe he understands what it's like to live in a multi-cultured inner city. It seems to me he has more in common with the anti-homosexual, anti-foreigner Taliban (though with a nicer house) than with the normal everyday British man. Perhaps we should invite the Taliban on with him to show how much they have in common :-) "

That would surely be worth the TV licence fee! (Not that i pay one these days, living off The Island...) Thank you, 'Royalty in the Chamionship', for that gem
