This is evidence of stupendous illiteracy. So Maven, Tevya, I, mesquito, Morgoth, Fabian, Muffin, the Davids, Field, John P, Brett, SPGB, Irie, Flanker, HB, you, Flying Rat etc, subscribe to the same definite set of political positions? What horse manure.

And amazingly, claiming that this set of political positions tends towards the totalitarian is an even bigger pile of manure.

Nearly Oxfordian denies that HP is a party. One wonders why the denial is considered necessary.

Could HP run candidates in the Greater London area? Why not? I write from Dhahran, where HP-Partisans are thin on the ground.

No, I think there’s a definite set of political positions that most HP commentators subscribe to, N.O., including yourself, which I am describing as “HP”. Similarly, when people talk about “liberals”, they are referring to an intellectual trend, not a particular person or party. I’m sure you realise this, you are just being an ass because you have no argument to make.

Another idiot who thinks that HP is a person or a party.

Because it’s impossible to draft a law that will prevent them just changing their name and claiming to be another organisation entirely.

The only way you could achieve their complete suppression is by changing the law to ban individuals from tkaing part in political activity, rather than proscribing given organisations.

But this would be step too far in the direction of totalitarianism, even for Harry’s Place.

Besides, countries such as the USA, despite suffering many more deaths due to Islamic terrorism than the UK, don’t seem to feel the need to ban these organisations. Britain doing so is nothing more than an ineffectual gesture by an authoritarian government.
