He knew full well it would never happen because; a) the police would never allow it under the public order act and b) he would greeted by a rather lively welcoming committee. But it did its job and gained Choudary more coverage. He knows what ‘Daily Mail’ buttons to press and he’s certainly pressing them with gusto.<br /><br />Besides the freedom of speech question, banning is likely to be counter-productive; it makes him a martyr and gives him a status and further publicity that he does not merit.

It always snowball...You're bang on the money. <br /><br />It always snowballs. I'd be prepared to assume much of the Daily Mail commentariat are all over this, as intended. But the definition of "extremist" is already loosening. I've heard recent rumblings of libertarians being referred to as extremist. The word is going to be rendered completely useless one day, giving genuine, aggressive extremists (as opposed to tent wearing fruitcakes) a safer place to hide.Corrugated Soundbitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305817712647242394noreply@blogger.com
