Well here's a big pile of grey.
If you shut this down some people who need food aren't going to get it. If it means they do, isn't it better to just let it happen? If I was hungry, I wouldn't care where I was getting my food from. If there were no people needing food, this wouldn't be possible. So if Neo Nazis want to offer a hand of aid to people where one is needed, even if it comes with a fat *, should we allow it? Especially in Glasgow, the most miserable city in the UK. It has easily the lowest life expectancy. So much so there's a name for it, "The Glasgow Effect".
Oh I know what they're trying to do, and they'll probably gain some new members and sympathy doing it, but the simple fact is that if the powers that be were on top of things, they could not do this because there'd be no needy people to help, or said needy people would be already getting the help.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious but when I measure some people who need food getting it over said people possibly going Nazi, I can't favor the latter as the more pressing problem. You shut it down when you're not providing adequate help to these people yourself, how does that make you look?
maybe a big pile of...something (sorry...couldn't resist)
but if you seen this on the street and you actually saw them refusing food to a non-white person, wouldn't you think otherwise? I think it's easy to think about something and write about it on a forum but to actually see something like this in action I think would offend a lot of people.
It is truly a dilemma. I see where you're coming from, but I can't get passed the idea that this is wrong.
However, as a rule there's nothing to stop anyone, Nazi or not, from setting up a stall in a public place and handing out leaflets/giving out stuff/simply talking bollocks as a temporary fixture which doesn't require permission. The police can really only intervene where there is nuisance or public order concerns, or evidence of another crime.
And this is very wrong - 'Glasgow, the most miserable city in the UK'. Ever been to Coventry? Sheffield? Hull? Aberdeen?
(just saying that cause I'm from Glasgow)
