Question Author
Zacs,
The point I was making was that I noticed that despite you 'following the thread with interest', you had not commented after over 130 posts. Nothing sinister about that and you are perfectly at liberty just to observe, though this is not your usual style?
Regarding my supposed 'being a little cryptic', I don't understand that comment. You cannot speak for all when you mention some sort of 'imaginary trap I may be setting'. I can confirm that there was no intention here to induce some sort of paranoia!
Hope thats clarified? Now, to the questions:-
A) Do I support the BF?
Not sure in what context you mean [i]support] but in the sense of exercising their right to free speech, marching, demonstrating and it is lawful, then yes, as I would do with any organisation.
B) Do I support the BF's actions in this instance?
Yes, I agree with Golding's assertion that he went to the area not to cause harassment, but to 'out' an Al Qaeda operative as a matter of public interest.
C) Do I think the BF's existence is justified by these 'outings'?
The BF is a patriotic political party whose existence is not dependent on sole visits of this sort. It is not that shallow. I have outlined in previous posts concerning campaigns on various issues around the country, most notably in Rotherham for example.
D) Do I believe Golding should face trial?
I have not suggested that he shouldn't in my OP. My view is that on the available facts he will be acquitted on both counts. The count of wearing a uniform has not found a single declared assenter on here. Again, my view is that it is an absurd charge. I have not said there isn't a case to answer but I believe Golding will be cleared.
Your comments welcome.
