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).
