Apart from what's already been mentioned, I'm not privy to their intentions.
Their known activities include:

(a) fund-raising barbecues where they sing jolly songs about removing the blot of immigrants from the countryside
(b) placing references to high-profile English artists and even sound clips on their sites without permission, trying to create the impression that these performers support them
(c) setting themselves up as "torchbearers of culture" (as quoted by Joan) and
(d) pandering to the lowest level of social prejudice (as outlined by Norman).

They're not (yet) storming into festivals as they did RAR gigs 30 years ago but rather latching on to various artists, whether they like it or not. Usually not.

We don't do Thanksgiving here, though I've been known to live for a week or more on a freezer pack of minced turkey as a cheap form of protein. Last night I ate a samosa as I walked down the road. No parties.
