Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

lets have a live TV debateA lot of people who vote BNP do so because of local issues, immigration etc, and to them it appears that the BNP is the party willing to tackle the issue. The main parties are so close now in terms of policies that voting for either of them will not effect change, so people naturally turn to what they think is a viable alternative.
Now, the more politically aware know that the BNP is not a simple solution to these issues. But the average person doesn't realise what the BNP's loathsome policies actually are, because there is no public debate on them, no direct challenge. If you want to squash the BNP, you need to rip them apart and show the people what they are really like in a live, unedited public debate.
If you ban or prohibit anything, you give it popularity beacause people want to kick against the establishment. Just release a record with a devaint sexual practice in the lyrics, get the BBC to ban it, and then watch it go to No 1.
