Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
I think the reporting depends on the agenda of the publication.

The BBC, Guardian and Telegraph are all quite similar. I suspect it's based of the same report and syndicated across the sites with minor changes. We might see more in-depth reporting tonight/tomorrow.

It appears Nick Griffin has tweeted part of the address of the gay couple in question and said they're going up there to stage a 'demo'.

Oh it's nice to see he's spreading the hate a bit. Not nice to think he was reserving it for non-whites only.

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
One could argue that the B&B owners religious beliefs are being Discriminated against aswell.
Personally live and let live.

Had his account suspended apparently

Makes me wonder why twitter let people like Alan Fry carry on using the service.

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
Surely that's a hate crime by Griffin?

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
I am not sure. I think it must come under something to do with threatening/menacing communications....

One could argue that it's a straw-man argument to argue that it is discriminatory not to be allowed to be discriminatory...

I'd say so. Definate potential for a charge under the communications act. It would be a pish charge but I've seen charges for less.

If the party died along with all it's members, the world would be a much better place.

You've become rather attached to the straw man haven't you Hugh?
As we don't live in America, but in the UK, the correct terminology is "Aunt Sally"

a) I am not attached to them, I was pointing out that others may be using them - big difference; but then again, logic, reason, thinking things through and you are usually non-contiguous
b) "Aunt Sally"? Bless... I'll just go get my smoking jacket, and ask the staff to prepare the kedgeree.
fwiw, if one should search on ' aunt+sally' on CF, you get 13 results* - should one search on 'straw+man', it shows 200 results (there are probably more, but the search is limited to 200) - perhaps the usage is more prevalent than you realise...
*of which, only 1 (besides our two posts) uses it in the context you have put forward...
