Index on Censorship editor Jo Glanville was a ‘witness’ on Radio 4’s the Moral Maze last night, discussing the BNP list leak, and whether attitudes towards BNP members working in social services etc showed we had ‘lost our nerve over freedom of expression and [become] a more intolerant, illiberal society?’ (the BBC’s words). If you missed it, you can hear the repeat on Saturday at 10.15 pm. It’s not on Listen Again at time of posting.
Thought for the day: Does the fact BNP spokesman Lee John Barnes was invited on a Radio 4 discussion programme mean that the UK is a more tolerant or less tolerant society?
