The recently leaked BNP (British National Party) members list is a hard one to call. Whilst I despise racism in any form, I do feel that in a free society BNP members do have a right to free speech and privacy in the same way as anyone else does.
As far as I am aware - and although it may seem quite to the contrary sometimes - we are not yet living in an Orwellian and totalitarian society. People do have their own political and religious beliefs, and although the majority may personally dislike some of these minority opinions, it isn’t society’s place to make an open judgement.
In a free society people should be free to think what they want and affiliate to whatever organisation or philosophy they so choose. To do otherwise is to initiate the concept of Thought Crime.
That said, I think it is rather cowardly for one to associate oneself to a radical ideology and expect anonymity. Rather than have these Nazi goons sacked from their positions of employment or lynched by an angry mob (without any damning evidence or justifiable reason for so doing), it is much more appropriate to expose them as the cowards they are for failing to openly proclaim, without fear, their right to free expression.
By avoiding a witch hunt society prevents driving an organisation such as the BNP underground, where they will gain more power by playing the victimisation card.
The proper approach, in my opinion, is through open discourse and to place trust in the population at large to see common sense and understand reason (difficult, I know, when you consider the level of stupidity that prevails everywhere).
That said, the list is quite easy to find by doing a quick Google search, and it makes for interesting reading if for no other reason than knowing where the thugs are located in your local community.
