and a Christian couple just trying to make a living.
That says it all!
I await your reasoning.
Thank you for signing my petition to get Nick Griffin banned from Twitter.
As you may have seen, Nick Griffin's account was suspended temporarily and reinstated with the offending tweet removed. Unfortunately Twitter have not taken further action at this stage.
I started the petition because I believe Twitter should be a forum for debate not hate. So I am heartened that over 45,000 people -- including you -- have signed their support.
I've received a message from John Morgan and Michael Black, the couple targeted by Nick Griffins tweets, who have seen the petition and wanted to pass on their personal thanks to all the signers:
"Thank you all very much for showing your opposition to Nick Griffin’s behaviour towards us. We really appreciate your support, and hope that Twitter will follow its procedures to try to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.
We’ve decided not to make a formal complaint to the police, as we understand Twitter removed the tweets as soon as Liberty asked them to, and in fact nobody from the BNP has come here to demonstrate. The local police force took the threat very seriously and kept watch on our house for the next few days.
Thank you again for your support
John Morgan and Michael Black"
Although Nick Griffin remains on Twitter, 45,000 people with messages of support for the couple have drowned out the hateful voice of one man.
Thank you for taking a stand with me,
Darren
