Would you walk away, contented, thinking, "Well, at least I know where I stand."

And if you'd want to refuse the right of the BNP to hold a conference, why do you defend the anti-gay beliefs of the Catholic church? Surely, both are based on irrational prejudice, or do you, as Gayle appears to, think that homophobia somehow isn't quite as bad as racism?

That is ABSOLUTELY not what I mean at all.

I've been giving this a lot of thought and it's not something that I can answer rashly. In the words of big brother 'I'll get back to you'.
