The fear-struck and cowardly Labour Party has displayed its anti-democratic credentials to the world by banning British National Party Members of the European Parliament from entering Westminster.

The move, introduced this evening by arch–extremist Harriet Harman, is disguised in a motion barring all 70 British MEPs from making use of the Commons facilities.

However, according to the Labour-supporting press, the actual purpose of the move is to bar Mr Nick Griffin from the Commons after it became known that he was due to attend a function there later this year.

As MEPs have the same status as MPs, they have always had access to all parliamentary facilities. This is obviously too much for the Labour fascists to bear, and hence the move to revoke this right.

According to the Labour-supporting media, the decision to bar all MEPs comes in the “wake of the British National Party’s poll victories.”

This is not the first time that the Labour fascists have struck down democratic rights in Britain.

In Manchester, the Labour council famously refused the BNP the right to use one of its normally publicly available chambers for a candidate selection meeting, despite giving Communist-front organisations free access to those same facilities.

It is clear that democracy according to the Labour Party is only allowed as long as one agrees with them. As soon as someone disagrees, they no longer have the right to partake in the democratic system.

* Anyone hoping that the Tories were any better, need think again. Tory shadow culture secretary Jeremy Hunt yesterday called on the BBC to launch an investigation into whether an interview with two young BNP members “breached its guidelines.”

According to the fascist Tory, the BBC should only interview members of the BNP “to make sure that they are held to account for their totally noxious views.” According to Mr Hunt, this did not happen in the interview in question.

Once again, it would appear that the Tories, just like their clones in the Labour Party, are only for fairness and democracy when one agrees with them. Otherwise, both of these parties become extreme fascists and seek to close down democracy quicker than one can say “enabling act.”
