Thread Name: Folk Against Fascism launch at Sidmouth
Subject: RE: Folk Against Fascism launch at Sidmouth
To many of us fascism is an extremely emotive subject.
During my lifetime millions of men, women and children were exterminated for having the 'wrong' ethnic background, for joining trades unions, for not meeting up to the mental or physical requirements for 'the new order'...... or just for saying 'no'.
The two individuals recently elected in Britain belong to a political organisation which has at various times supported these actions, adapted them to fit a British scenario, or denied they ever happened. A number of people on this thread and elsewhere on this forum have lent their support to them, in some cases openly and in others by sneering at the efforts of the people who are attempting mount some sort of opposition.
Personally, I am not in the least surprised that discussion gets heated on occasions.
My apologies if I offend.
