I've been thinking about what you said in this thread about Blair, Ake.

The thing is, that Blair was no better, no worse than most of the others in his position. Sure he disappointed - but which PM didn't. They're all not really in control of the situation, up the yanks bum by necessity - riding the rollercoaster of international finaciers - admittedly made easier by all the deregulation of recent years, but how much choice did Thatch and major have in that. You have to wonder.

The BNP is something different. I don't think their real aim is to win elections. Their main thing is to recruit people who would like to kick your liberal teeth to the other side of your head. People who feel disenfranchised and are tired of being shouted at by Jeremy Kyle.

You know, Hitler didn't need major numbers of storm troopers to impose his will. Just in little towns all over Germany, they knew if it were requested the storm troopers would arrive.

They'll be arriving in Oldham this week. Coloured folk will walk on the other side of the road when they see gangs of bullet heads in a little knots giving out leaflets. Getting them to wear stars is only a small move from there.

When they've been to a town near you - you will understand.
