Thread: Should Labour links and promotion be banned?

As Labour is a racist and sexist party which discriminates against people due to their race and/or gender, should the forum leaders ban links to the party website and ban any poster who promotes the party?

Discuss.

No, that would be censorship.

Unfortunately, BNP links are banned, but two wrongs don't make a right

The bnp should be banned everywhere,not only on here.

I don't personally believe links, whether to Labour, the BNP, or any other party or organisation, should be banned, unless they are offensive or inciting hatred or violence.

But as for Labour being sexist and racist? What evidence is there for this?

If people can be discriminated against because their political views are seen as offensive to some then that means that any party, member, activist or supporter of a political party can be sanctioned. The Labour Party, hypocritical and corrupt is as offensive as any political party including the BNP. Uncertain of the sexist bit but the Labour Party could be seen as distinctly racist given their the amount of Arabs their policies have killed.

Ban all human debate! Free speech for monkeys and all other primates, and so on.

Silence free speech! Charge per word or number of characters used, like a text, or instigate an immediate crash programme on the art of communication by whistling (come on, Brown, I'm sure you can do it!).

Isn't debate wonderful? The simple uttering of a single word begs a response to a higher, more developed level, involving greater and greater numbers of words in the recipient of the first word, thus embroiling man in and neverending course that seeks to answers to self and the environment surrounding.

Definitely not. Don't ban any party including the BNP. If the links are used in a reasonable argument then why not? If the argument has descended into spamming or abuse (a rarity on this forum of course...) then ban but not just a blanket ban on any BNP link.
