I was just trying to work out if "being Unneccessarily (sic) virulent " involves passing on the flu when you don't have to when Mudcat went on one of its all-too-frequent walkabouts. I assume that antipodean pest is putting a bad spell on it . . .

I never know what Steve Harris is talking about and just generally assume he's bonkers but this time I'm close to getting it and no, I DON'T like what he and similar apologists say from their pretendy perch of "reasonableness".

It's one thing for crypto-fascists to try to undermine an embryo anti-fascist organisation. Whatever do you expect? But be not fooled by the apparent difference between nazi thugs going after The Clash at RAR in Victoria Park 30 odd years ago and middle-class wankers today preaching :free speech". It's just a tweaking of tactics. A nazi is a nazi is a nazi. As Ollie Beak says, they have to be opposed in any way possible. If this involves knocking the likes of MacKenzie, Teribus and hmmm Leadfingers (?) offf their fake fences, so be it,

More power to FaF (our music needs it) and all praise to Ruth for thinking of it and pulling off Phase I.
