Thread Name: Folk Against Fascism launch at Sidmouth
Subject: RE: Folk Against Fascism launch at Sidmouth
What the fuck are you talking about?

I wasn't at the launch and have not commented on its structure. The organisers and artists have stated clearly that i achieved what they set out to do and I support that entirely. Nitpicking from the sidelines and mouthing know-all criticisms of what "should" have occurred (according to a few carping fencesitters) is unhelpful and insulting. If, on the other hand, you think there are other ways of opposing fascism, you are of course right. No-one's stopping you from organising your own speechifying public meetings or whatever. Anything Against Fascism goes as long as it works, deters even more waverers from voting for the BNP, rescues music from misappropriation . . . oh, and sounds good.
