Subject: RE: Folk Against Fascism
I find the implication that unless I can "justify" my love of British or English traditional music that I am somehow a closet BNP supporter deeply offensive.

There was no such implication. The only "implication" was exactly what it said: that people who [b]aren't[/b] BNP supporters but want - and why not? - to have a specialist white Brit trad music policy for a club have to pick their words carefully to avoid it inadvertently looking like they're saying the same thing as the BNP manifesto. And that adding support for FAF would be a good way of helping that.

Nobody said you had to book folk music from other cultures. Or were a BNP supporter. Just that you jump to conclusions that aren't there . . . which makes me wonder why you're so over-defensive.

Sheesh, why are you lot so f***ing [i]dense[/i]!
