BNP top of Google News
BNP gets top news listing on Google at Guardian Unlimited – Politics
If you search for “Mary-Ann Leneghan” on Google News, the first result you come across is a news report on the BNP web site. For some reason, numerous people seemed to have got rather het up about the whole affair and have demanded that Google removes such stories from its search results, which thankfully they have refused to do – and in doing so they have earned my respect for not caving in to the politically correct crowd.
I don’t like the policies of the BNP and I’d never think about voting for them, but I could say the same thing about the Socialist Worker Party. However, you don’t see many reports of people complaining about what the extreme left parties write, even though if you follow the political spectrum you’ll find it wraps round at both ends and there isn’t a great deal of difference between how much people suffered under both fascist and communist governments.
The BNP aren’t breaking the law, at least not as far as I’m aware, nor are they being grossly offensive. Whilst I don’t necessarily agree with their claims that the BBC have double standards, I believe that the BNP has the same rights to publish their opinions on news stories as I do, and I think it’s a bit pathetic that some people want to gag an organisation that is providing them with an easy way to access hundreds of news sources in one place.
