Brown vs Rule of Law

So Gordon wasted no time in promising a change in the law following the acquittal of that deeply unpleasant pair, Nick Griffin and Mark Collett. Gosh. I am, in the words of Die Hard 2's Carmine Lorenzo, stunned. I gotta lie down. If there is insufficient evidence to convict, or if a jury can't be persuaded to convict under the existing law, why, just change the law! Surely there can be no doubt that these two are criminals? The law must surely be at fault if we can't make people like them prisoners of conscience? No, ridiculing them and exposing their arguments for the thinly-disguised bigotry and ignorant proto-supremacy that they clearly are will simply not do! They must be made examples of, so that people will learn that it's only OK to believe what you believe if you exist in sufficient numbers to make it politically convenient to support you.

They will, as someone, somewhere, quite rightly said, keep trying to put this guy in prison even if they have to make it a crime to be called Nick and Griffin at the same time. Which puts me in the awkward position of having to support this cockroach.
