Eliza. Make no mistake. The far right view this as their Kristallnacht. In fact they've been milking Lee Rigby's murder for all they can get out of it ever since it happened. Thank God for the peoples of Muswell Hill and Woolwich, and many other areas of this country, who have remained calm and ignored all the calls to join in anti-Islamic pogroms.

Was it the EDL? Of course it wasn't, at any rate not officially. Neither was it "officially" the National Front, or the British Movement, who burnt Asian families out of their houses in the 1970s, or Mosley's fascists who did the same thing to the Jews in the 1930s. But we all know that the perpetrators came from these organisations, or were very cose to them. And we all know the part which the inflammatory rhetoric of Colin Jordan and John Tyndall, Nick Griffin, Stephen Lennon and Oswald Mosley played in stirring up hatred. What, I wonder, would these bastards do if there were no minorities to persecute? Yeahh, I know. They'd invent a few.
