SPB. I didn't say they haven't got an agenda, and part of that agenda undoubtedly includes an armed militia to round up and intern all the people they don't like.

But arming every thug in the land does not represent a set of viable properly thought out policies. In fact, they do not need a set of policies because they appeal to the kneejerkers and the pissed off, and the people who think the country is going to hell in a handcart, not to people who are liable to stop and think and question where this is going to take us.

Not that there's anything new in this of course. The nazis didn't get into power on the strength of an informative manifesto. They did it by a combination of thuggery and appeals to national identity, a demagogic mob orator, and a pack of lies about the Jews. When the chips are down, that is exactly what the BNP will do.

I think it was Trotsky who said anyone voting fascist is not making a conscious informed decision. They are doing the equivalent of jumping over a cliff with their hands over their eyes.
