Seriously, this woman should be ashamed of herself but, from what is in this article, she clearly isn't. The things she put on Facebook certainly upset me. It's awful.
How can you even think about saying something like that??

"Ok, so I may well get in to trouble for saying this - but I've got to get it off my chest. I wish that Derrick Bird could have come down to London & shot dead some illegal immigrants, rather than killing his fellow British people. If that offends you then tough; it's my opinion and I'm entitled to it."

What a scumbag she is, and representative of the scum the BNP have as a party.
She looks inbred and fugly too.
:sleep:
Since when was this a joke? She was quite serious about what she said.
There is a difference between joking to difuse your feelings on a situation (9/11 and Diana jokes only a few hours after they both happened) and saying you wish someone had committing massacres against immigrants instead of Britons.
They do a pretty good job of making themselves look ridiculous. Even the "respectable" facade of Nick Griffin wasn't enough for them to win anything like the support they thought they'd get in the general election.
Thankfully most of the British electorate are not stupid enough to fall for the rubbish they spout.
So what if someone has an outrageous opinion? If they are willing to defend it and face any consequences then they have every right to speak. No one has the right to tell that person not to say those things - you can be disgusted all you like though.
I would hope she is questioned for inciting racial hatred and violence.
Point taken about free speech but what's the defence against something like that?
So according to the BNP immigrants cause lots of crime.
More crime increases the chance of a gun being involved, so a greater chance of the immigrant having a gun.
So if the guy went after immigrants there would be a greater chance an armed citizen would have been able to stop the massacre.
It also works for muslims, just replace crime/guns with terrorism/nail bombs.
Exactly.
Freedom of speech works both ways, and to say otherwise is to endorse censorship.
I meant 'defend the point' as opposed to backing down as soon as they are questioned on it, I personally don't hold that opinion so I can't even fathom the reasoning behind it - that doesn't mean I don't think it she should have that opinion.
..errmmm nope...I would imagine her only reason is that she is a hate filled prejudiced racist bigot.
Given the choice between criminals being killed, and law-abiding people being killed, I'd choose the former. I don't think I am unusual in that.
Funny, incitement to racial hatred in the Justice and Public Order Act (1994) and the Race Relations Act (1976) says otherwise.
But you spout that jingoistic nonsense about free speech all you like. There is no such thing and hasn't been for at least 30 years.
..and what about her incitement to racial hatred and violence, I don't see this directed towards illegal immigrants, and if they were illegal, we don't have a shoot to kill policy.
I'm amazed you still get allowed to post on here, with some of the hateful things you come out with. Illegal or not, you do not have the right to wish someone gun them down and kill them.
Someone posted on Twitter that "Robin Hood airport is closed. You've got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!!" and he ended up in court and convicted. Wishing murder on someone is far worse than this, yet no one is going to do shit about this.
Illegal or not, I don't think it's a reason to wish for them killed.
Is that you, Charlotte?
