The swastika flag? – let them fly it!
By all means protest and decry it,
But ban it? – No don’t!
Stop Nazis? – It won’t!
Best see what they’re selling – don’t buy it.

To Stop Debate we’ll say it’s Hate

You wish to warn them of their fate?
To change things before it’s too late?
The court takes the view
In this case that you
Are trying to stir racial hate.
