ATTACK ON FREE SPEECH

Two days ago I was asked if Wigan BNP would like to place an advertisment in the Wigan Reporter. After much thought we decided to take advantage of the offer in spite of the cost. I spent several hours in communication with the girl at the paper who was very helpful and paid for the adverts. At 3.15pm today I was rung by the editor and told that he was unwilling to publish our advert as there was a problem with our mentioning Tibet and comparing it to the situation in this country. Also he said that there were statements about the other Parties which were untrue.
I told him I had not said anything that was not true and they had previously published allegations that our membership contained Nazis. This he denied.
I think the Left wing NUJ have stuck their oar in and that we are getting too close to the truth which they can not tolerate.
I told him he could "stick his paper" , we would want our money back and that in future we would use the internet and thus evade this unjustified censorship.
The good thing about this is that they have lost money, we have kept ours and hopefully people in using the internet, will stop reading their censored rag cost them sales as a result.
Read the advert and see if you can see anything objectionable.
If you agree with me that it is OK, please spread it around on the net as an example of censorship and help us regain our freedom of speech.
