Nice. Comment moderation on the Express’s site I think must be a lot more lax than on the Mail’s to let this sort of garbage through.

I’ve been tempted to sign up and argue, but I decide against it because it’d be a complete waste of time. There’s a couple of brave souls who have attempted to do so, but the likes of “Defiant” aren’t interested in facts and evidence; they just want their prejudices reaffirmed. Any evidence to the contrary and the knuckledraggers put their hands over their ears and go ‘la la la, can’t hear you’, before replying with a volley of abuse.

And as for the BNP stuff… *shudders*

I’m all for freedom of speech, though it would be nice if people didn’t just blurt out any old bollocks that comes to mind.
