Subject: RE: BS: I am the BNP candidate in Chippenham
I agree to a great extent with Crow Sister; we need to connect with the people who were betrayed by New Labour, and who have turned to simplistic populist answers in reaction. Face it, the Trades Union movement had a few highly intelligent, highly politicised leaders, and a great mass of fairly simplistic followers.They are, by and large, broadly decent people. They aren't historians, and a couple of generations removed from the 2nd world war, the label of fascism has lost much of its power as a warning. They have been betrayed by the Labour Party, the people who puported to lead them. The Labour Party (not the bit of it that betrayed them, but that's getting complicated) opposes racism, so perhaps they were lying about that as well as about trickle- down.

We need to recover the sense of class. That a working person from whatever background has the same interests as other workers, and that the bosses- those to whom a windfall of 20000 pounds is just a fairly ordinary occurrence- are the ones who should be deported, strerilised, gassed etc. (joke).
