Exposing extremism to the light of day

THE committee of the Philosophical Society at Trinity College is to be congratulated for its invitation to the leader of the British National Party, Nick Griffin, to participate in the debate on the 20th October, 2011.

Exposing extremism to the light of day

The debate is on the motion that: “This House believes immigration has gone too far.”

I am truly disgusted that left-wing organisations at the College and national left wing organisations are calling for his removal. Do they not understand that by refusing to hear those from either end of the political spectrum — left or right — they, by their action, are giving more credence and respectability to extreme voices? Expose extremism to the light of day and people will shy away from such viewpoints.
