UK politician called for Jew-free Bradford

[Fidel_Castronaut]

If we talking about narrow self serving policy aims, such as those seemingly advocated by him, then it's relevent only in so far as one is seeking to censor either a position or a person who happens to be arbitrarily linked to a region and/or people one dislikes. Indeed, debateable whether it's acquiescing. An equally good argument could be made for the idea of allowing those from the given region/state entry to expose those to their views which enables intellectual defeat in open debate. A similar event happened with the BNP at the Oxford Union not long after I'd left where the far right group's leader was invited to talk. A lot of people opposed him turning up, but he did, and his views were exposed.

Fortunately for the UK, and for Bradford, we don't live in a society that endorses that I think it says more about those doing the embargo than the embargoed.

And Galloway, FYI, is anything but typical. He's a blight, but often a necessary one to show the UK electorate what a terrible politican really looks like.
