More institutionalised homophobia, this time from a variety of websites. Nick Griffin, the BNP leader tweets the address of the gay couple who won damages against a homophobic Bed & Breakfast owner who broke the law by refusing to let them stay. Griffin also incites a mob to go round to their house, a blatant potential hate crime. And the response is.......
..... a 5 min ban from twitter and a platform from the BBC website & Sky News website to air his views.
If the obese Nazi had tweeted the address of some ethnic minority person and incited a mob to go round there then I'm willing to bet a fair amount that he'd be banned from twitter and facing a spell in prison. Double standards.

I find it shocking that (however distasteful) someone posting crude jokes about the April Jones situation is IMPRISONED and Griffin and (and indeed Jeremey Clarkson who "joked" about murdering trade unionists in front of their families on live tv) are not.
The rules about freedom of speech and otherwise on social networks needs to be made clearer and enforced with equality.

Griffin should be charged.
