Mike Rowley is right to stress “the fullest freedom of speech” under what he calls “normal circumstances” (Solidarity 121), though it is not clear what these are, or whether they exist in the present climate. I have felt for many years that it is important that socialists — and others who share our views — should withdraw access to space for groups such as the BNP in property over which we have control or influence. They will always find space somewhere, but to withdraw access to public space is really important.
