Jeremy Hardy Update
During last weeks Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation he made the comment:
"If you just took everyone from the BNP and everyone who votes for them and shot them in the back of the head, there would be a brighter future for us all."
Now members of the BNP are complaining that Jeremy and the BBC are guilty incitement to murder, even going as far as describing it as advocating genocide. Er no guys it was satire. The BNP are in no way an ethnic, cultural or socio-economic group so the genocide claim is fairly far-fetched as well. The suggestion that the programme is seriously encouraging criminal activity is, quite frankly, ludicrous.
So far there has been no evidence that anyone has taken the BNP's complaint seriously.

I am falling in love with Jermeny Hardy, this is so fantastically funny. Why don't more people see the world as he does. Amy
He is twice your age and married with children.
Oh and listening again to the programme, the BBC seem to have cut the offending remark from the online version.
