# Be
like a newspaper. Why let facts get in the way of a comment?

# So what you are implying is that it's okay
to mock Leicester for the size of it's 'immigrant' sector - because this is fact.

And that John Tydall who formed the National Front from the influencial Leicester Branch during the 70s is actually a good thing even though this is also a fact.

If you say bigorty can work both ways try to see both side of the argument.

# But
I only see *my* side. By definition.

It would seem that lots of people have already seen one particular side. He has been vilified for this view - maybe correctly.

Having said that, maybe the replies are indicative of people posting replies they feel expected to make.

# I feel your defence of his posting
seems to imply that you support his feelings. I'm not condeming what he's saying only that in all fairness Leicester has a shit repution for being the home of many racists too.

# How the fuck to you derive McCarthyism
from what I'm saying?

This is typical of knee-jerk reactionism instead of listening to reasoned debate you jump to wild conclusions about gagging freedom of speech for fuck's sake listen to yourself, and you will see it's you trying to censor my opinion not me censoring his or your opinion.

I'm doing what you said - stating the facts (the NF grew out of Leicester - fact!)

# This is nothing
to do with "freedom of speech". It is to do with how you interpret my "defending" (none occurred) of the OP's comments.

You effectively called me a racist for my posts in what you perceived as "support" for the OP.

No one is trying to censor anyone here, except for pointing a finger and crying "racist". As you are now more likely to be arrested for racism than possession of a class "c" drug, I think this is quite important.

# I never called anybody a racist - please re-read all my previous comments -
that's your interpretation of my stating the fact that the NF was born out of Leicester.

I'm not calling you a fucking racist, however you have labelled me a McCarthyist. I am however an unaligned free-thinking Socialist and being called a McCarthyist who was a Right-Wing bastard who censored all but right-wing bigotry I find that deeply deeply offensive.

# Good man!
haha

You are a man aren't you I wouldn't want to make any sweeping generalisations just in case I get accused of being a McCarthyist.

Yep, still a man.

# I think
you might be better looking up what effect McCarthy had in the US before making posts like this, which make no sense in the context of McCarthy.

# Fuck off, troll
Don't try to make it out your more intelligent than me and fob me off by telling me to read up on McCarthyism. I've done that a long time ago, love, and I know what McCarthy was about. It is you who is using it out of context by labelling anybody who disagrees with you as a McCarthyist.
