Subject: RE: Billy Bragg and incitement to violence
Tug,

Agreed, but one must be sure that one cruches effectively.

If as a result of my actions the BNP get more positive publicity, or get to persuade people that I am the thug, or if as a result of my actions I end up in Jail, or indeed if a riot happens and people die, and if as a consequence the streets become that little bit less safe, then I have failed utterly.

The way to crush it is to expose the the ideology for what it really is and to expose its advocates for who they really are.

As has been pointed out numerous times on numerous threads, Britain is a multicultural society and most Brits do like this fact. Most Brits do indeed abhor the idea of scapegoating ethnic minorities, gays and the disabled. Most people love to claim that they are friends, for whatever reason, with at least one person from each of these sectors of society. Some are more sincere than others, but it is a far cry from believing they should be excluded from society.

Crush it by hanging it out to dry.
