I think this thread is now completely off topic, and no longer realtes to music traditions, but I intend to add my 2 pennorth worth . sorry.......

1) BNP get support by preying on peoples fears and reinforcing mis-information. For example the accusation of immigrants and asylum seekers taking homes away. The more relevant question is who is responsible for the massive decline in social housing stock through sales of council housing and legislation to prevent local authorities replace social housing during the 80s. Who has forced the housing prices up over the last 20 years so that more and more people are competing for less and less housing. It is a structural and economic problem.

2)Do BNP really have workable economic and social policies? How many votes would they have got if they were opening campaigning on their views of spreading hatred. Basic argument: you should fear xyz minority i the community. Give us the power to 'get rid' of the convient scapegoat - hmmmm does anyone remember Bosnia?? or even Germany in the 1930s? Then what about the other side of the argument.
The problem is structural ...... it doesn't go away . no more asylum seekers left to blame . who to victimise next ........... the situation must be serious enough ........ apply controls, maybe state of emergency........... more parrallels in history and Animal Farm for good measure.

Yes, ask why there are not enough homes for heroes, but don't blame it on the poorest in society who are competing with the other poorest in society who are competing for the crumbs.

We do not have a strong neo-nazi movement in this country. If BNP prey on fears, think of how much more frightening their next step would be.

On original thread.... songs should be used to highlight inequalities, but when a song goes on to blame the innocent then a line has been crossed.

Again sorry for my incoherent thoughts which have little to do with music but this thread has touched a nerve
