The Nazis hi-jacked German folk music in the 1930s and as a result most Germans wouldn't touch it with the proverbial bargepole for generations. The BNP are trying to do the same with British folk music: personally, I care too much about it to allow them to do the same with it as the Nazis. The other things that they are doing the same as the Nazis are awful too, but that's not what, as I understand it, FAF was specifically formed to counter. That's why FAF is very relevant as a music thread: music its raison d'etre. It' doesn't claim to be a broad-church anti-BNP organisation as far as I can see, it's a specifically music-related one.

It's fairly clear that some of the contributers to this thread are pro-BNP, and I notice that "Steve Harris" didn't answer the very simple straightforward question posed to him and that "John McKenzie" describes FAF as a "silly group". Well, if you want to trade insults, we don't expect much better from somebody apparently in a silly country.

If the Brits have taken over an American board, maybe its because the Brits care more about their folk music than the Americans. Maybe. Even if we do often have strange ways of showing it.
