Vic, that's probably due to the fact that the said organisation has virtually gone out of business, along with its associated attack dogs. Unfortunately, there is still a poster on the Internet somewhere advertising yours truly as one of their candidates. I printed a copy off and put it up on the wall of a pub where we have a monthly singaround.

A bunch of drinkers, whom I hadn't previously taken much notice of, promptly went apoplectic. It turned out the were Italian anti-fascists. Fortunately, before they hacked my goolies off I was able to explain the joke to them and the fact that I'd put it because I was just about to sing an anti-fascist song.

The incident ended amicably, with comradely salutes and what not and before they left, they gave us a rousing rendition of Bandiera Rossa.
