I gather that someone variously calling himself "Richard Bridge" or "Hoff Bridge" is posting messages of support for the BNP at digg and sending abusive messages to members of the "folk against fascism" facebook group.

"Hoff" is short for "Hoffmeister".

There are only a very few places where I have used or been referred to by both names - and the 'cat is one of them.

But "Hoff Bridge" isn't me (as neither is that other "Richard Bridge".

You may want to keep a wary eye on Daily Mail Reader - I suspect that he or his cronies are the guilty parties.


You may also want to have a look at Robin Loxley on facebook, saying

"Keep a wary eye out. Someone (I am told) is sending abusive messages of support for the loathsome BNP and signing them "Hoff Bridge" and/or "Richard Bridge. That lowlife is not the real Richard Bridge (who is quite an old leftie, really).

Tells you quite a lot about the BNP, really, doesn't it?"
