    Well, quite.

    Remember when Nick Griffin of the BNP went on Question Time? Obviously more extreme than UKIP, but after he got completely trounced, the BNP ceased to be a political force.

    You don’t defeat ideas by banning or “cancelling” or whatever. You do it by arguing the other side and highlighting the inadequacies of your opponent’s ideas. Trying to silence them gives them more credence.
