lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, MEPs have immunity intended to protect the freedom of expression. However, most of us in this Chamber would agree that it should never cover immunity on grounds of hate speech. As a representative from the North of Ireland, an area emerging from conflict, I can state that we are working very hard towards conflict resolution and reconciliation. We know that conflict can only be resolved by engaging with your enemy, negotiating a settlement, talking and making space for the other, moving away from the intransigence of: ‘I am right and my enemy, my opponent, must accept my righteousness’. Given that this Parliament emerged from a war, from a conflict, and aims to build prosperity and solidarity, it should without hesitation disassociate itself from any MEP whose comments incite hatred. MEP Nick Griffin’s inflammatory comments while in Belfast, which have resulted in the police service preparing a file for the public prosecution service, and his outrageous Twitter postings last week, putting the lives of two gay men at risk, should not be covered by MEP immunity and privileges."@en1
