Thread Name: Folk Against Fascism
Subject: RE: Folk Against Fascism
Peace, I hate the way the BNP and "BNP-lite" political groups are insinuating their vile ideals into people's conciousness by pretending to represent the British people. I love Britain and am proud to be British, but I can't, in any way, equate that with being racist or anti-Europe. I'm as proud to be British as I am proud to be European, or a member of the human race.
By co-opting English (let's face it - the BNP don't even care about the Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish) traditions as their own they hope to con the British public into thinking that the BNP aren't a racist, fascist, bigoted, hateful organistation. The sad thing is, the British public are falling for it. 1 in 10 of voters is 1 too many. The recent European elections shows their sympathisers are more than 1 in 10.
Failure of the main political parties should be no excuse for people to resort to supporting fascists. That's just so way beyond sad, it's criminal.
Stand up to fascism, wherever you see it...you'll never be wrong.
