GUEST,MtheGM Folk Against Fascism launch at Sidmouth (335* d) RE: Folk Against Fascism launch at Sidmouth 18 Aug 09


This is not a new situation. My monthly "Taking The Mike" column for Folk Review of April 1976 was about an "Old English Day" being organised by Lady Birdwood, a then well-known precursor of the BNP, which was to include 'brass bands and morris dancers'. I pointed out the true nature of the organisation represented by Lady Birdwood, and warned morris sides to look out for the tendentious blandishments of an invitation to perform in this event, Vigilance was need then and it is needed now. All the negative, and indeed hostile, comments this thread has incurred are patently misplaced. FAF won't stop the BNP in its tracks all by itself; but, as Messrs Tesco never tire of reminding us [in a slogan pinched from a salvage campaign in WWii which some of us are old enough to recall], "Every Little Helps".
