Guardian Letters page: BNP speaking at Oxford Union

Some interesting letters (both pro and anti, of course) about the BNP speaking at the Oxford Union.

My personal favourite:

Why in this country is everybody running scared of giving voice to Nick Griffin et al. Is there any need to protect those oh-so-well-educated students from the virus of BNP propaganda? Turn to France and see how they handle the far right there. I watched Ripostes on France 5 on Sunday when Jean-Marie Le Pen was cross-questioned for over an hour. At the end of the discussion there was a sense that it was all over for him. It is only by full exposure that extremism and racism lose any force they may have.
