Thread Name: Folk Against Fascism
Subject: RE: Folk Against Fascism
What are people disagreeing about? Most of the posts on the thread have been suggesting that there is nothing at all wrong with celebrating, performing or listening to English folk music or any other folk music. The point is that it is not to the exclusion or detriment of anything; and other music should not be to the detriment of trad. English. Whether the two are mixed at one venue, one night, across seperate events or completely integrated is irrelevent. Facism is about forcing other people to share your views. Folk against Facism should be showing that we can do what we want. By staging trad. English events, 'foreign' events and mixed ones we can show that the restrictive views of the BNP are not welcome. Is everyone was agreed on that?
