I don't know why people bring up Chamberlain, these are a handful of people not Nazi Germany. Nor are offering them anything, just not banning a protest. Bear in mind that the people commenting in this topic probably already exceed the amount of people that will be at this protest. There were like 5/6 people in Luton.
It really would be better not to ban/censor them, and ignore their march on Wootton Basset. They would soon look stupid if people aren't paying them attention and there are no press or cameras there. It would just be a few guys shouting in a street.
The problem is that won't happen. Elevating the small numbers of **** like Islam4UK (which we are helping to do with the coverage) is exactly what groups like Islam4Uk and the BNP are aiming for. They want conflict between Muslims and Non-Muslims. Not because they want to protect Wootton Bassett from political opportunism, after all the BNP have used it in the past despite objections from the town/army, but because it's part of a campaign they have to persuade more people to join their campaign against Muslims.
Being banned or attacked is exactly what Islam4UK need to try and persuade Muslims that Briton's are actively hostile towards them. Some moderate Muslims would be well justified to wonder why groups like the British Defence League can march outside Mosques and areas with high amounts of Muslims but Muslims get banned from staging a similarly provocative protest.
