They're not concerned and good for them, they have a sensible and mature attitude to it all.
I admit that I am concerned...only in as much that it's an irritating reminder that that fucking fuck is an elected representative of the North West and is trying to further his party's shitty agenda on the back of any case where white, straight people feel 'victimised'.
A gay couple who won a B&B discrimination case said they were not concerned about comments made on BNP leader Nick Griffin's Twitter account.
Michael Black and John Morgan, of Brampton, near Huntingdon, won a landmark ruling on Thursday after being turned away from a guest house.
Later, their address was published on the Twitter account, which also called for a demonstration outside.
Mr Black described the comments as a "damp squib" that would "fizzle out".
"It would be difficult for people to gather as we live in a small village and there's nowhere to park," he added.
Among the tweets on the @nickgriffinmep account were two which read: "So Messrs Black & Morgan, at [their address]. A British Justice team will come up to Huntington & give you a...
"...bit of drama by way of reminding you that an English couple's home is their castle. Say No to heterophobia!"
An earlier tweet on the North West region MEP's account had asked for the couple's address and then said: "We'll hold demo... for rights of all home owners, gays included, to rent or not rent rooms to whomsoever they wish."

Sorry, Griffin you googly eyed fascist, once someone opens their home to the public as a business, they can't discriminate.

More from the little man himself.
BNP leader Nick Griffin has said people have the "right to discriminate", after he put the address of a gay couple who won a landmark court ruling on Twitter.
Mr Griffin said the men had "abused the system to persecute" the Christian owner, after earlier urging Twitter followers to hold a demonstration.
Mr Black said police and neighbours were keeping an eye on their property.

Would you extend that principle to cover, say, a gay bar which refuses entry to women? What about a 'black nationalist' organisation that doesn't allow white people?

Its an organization not a business. We refuse entry to the bourgeoisie, the police etc., but we aren't providing a service (well unless you count organizing the proletariat). As for the gay bar, then yes it would be discriminatory not to allow women, but I don't think that this has ever been a problem for gay bars.

Of course. But now I'm curious, why are you asking? It's usually a right-wing trick to say "but what about..." when it comes to this kind of issue.

I wouldn't have a problem with that example, actually. A political organization isn't a public accommodation like a B&B or a bar.

Actually forcing political organisations to accept people regardless of race/gender/sexual orientation would be hilarious, true Black Nationalists (who tend to be pricks anyway) would have to accept whites, but that also means white supremacist groups would have to accept blacks.

BNP are legally obliged to accept members of any ethnicity, they had to take their whites only clause out or be banned.
They have this one crazy old Sikh guy they roll out because he hates muslims.
Griffin probably would be ok with all black groups, or say so (but he'd also say they shouldn't be in 'white' countries), they change their rhetoric, this kind of fascism with a liberal face to get them away from their associations with Nazism. The EDL supports Israel, and tries to claim it's for women's rights and gay rights as part of their Islamophobia.
