Reading much of the above, I can only guess how many people have not heard the following, believed to have been written by the German Pastor Martin Niemöller?

"First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me."

Believe it or not, English fascists tried to hi-jack the English Morris movement in the 1930's (something that C# House is not especially proud of!)

I recently wrote a letter to Musical Traditions on the threat of the Far Right. As I said there, quoting someone else, "We don't need new songs. Only the guts to sing the old ones" - just like Woody Guthrie & Peter Seeger did.
