People don’t have a right to decide who their neighbours are but they do have a right to decide who they sell their properties to, how their property is used and who may access/enjoy their property. Meanwhile, the rest of us have the right to ridicule and mock people who decide to exercise these property rights in an irresponsible or stupid way.

Also, why aren’t you lauding the Camden community’s self-determination in deciding that they don’t want Muslims? The worst they’re going to suffer if an onslaught of bureaucrats running multicultural programmes. Surely Kate Wossername’s vision of Australia (locals deciding who their neighbours will be) is exactly the same as yours

What I find amusing when you try to put your ideas into a real context is that you end up having to imagine larger and larger activities to mitigate the damage – advertisng blitzes, huge protests – when it is far more EFFICIENT to accept the market’s decision to run things via elected representatives making laws.

Those who would punish themselves by turning away potential customers for no good reason will be out competed by those who would not handicap themselves in that manner. The latter businesses could even mount an advertising blitz highlighting the racism of the former, winning over customers sickened by the idea of patronizing a bunch of racists.

One could organise boycotts, pickets and a number of other economic measures that do not violate the aggression to apply pressure to those racists. Pretty soon, the only customers of the former business will be those like minded people who will pay an extra premium for service with a side of racism.
