@Anon-E-Moose: Ah, there you are! I was wondering where you'd gotten off toI've had a bone to pick with you for a while, so I sincerely hoped you hadn't gone the way of Brendan Rizzo just yet. The only question left is where to beginoh, wait, that's not quite right...
1) You do realize, do you not, that the Weimar Republic had exactly the restrictions on "ideas above one's station" that you claim are necessary to prevent the rise of the Nazi Party Mk. II? I'm legitimately curious as to how you square this stance with those restrictions' abject failure to stop the original Nazi Party, coupled with how they were an integral part of the Nazis' consolidation of power after they got elected. Most of the time, the only response I get to this is the universal rebuttal known as "pretending to have not heard the question."
For that matter, what's so bad about letting anyone of any station have and promulgate any ideas they bloody well please? Mahatma Ghandi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, Sophie Scholl and countless others endured persecution, defamation and (in the case of Ms. Scholl) even death in the name of "ideas above their station," so to my mind, the least we can do to honor them is holding the right to have and expound such ideas to be sacrosanct. If the EDL/BNP crowd really are the "living, breathing insults to those who died in WWII" that you claim they are (the EDL and BNP almost definitely are, but I'd say the jury's still out on UKIP), then they ought to have quite a bit of trouble finding an audience. If not, then you have no valid reason whatsoever to stop them having & promoting whatever ideas they want, whenever they choose, whyever they wish.
