Following some recent disagreements about the in/appropriateness of 'small' folk events seen as becoming 'political' by associating themselves with FaF, I thought I'd cut & paste this from the mission statement on the FaF site. It seems clear to me, that the mission statement speaks about the importance of collective ground level support from ordinary folk enthusiasts and small events. This sense of a moderate (no coaches, no eggs, no chanting crowds) but united expression of solidarity with the cause, is one of the things I like most about this campaign. And so am asking in all honesty, with *no* desire to provoke a fight, "how small is too small?"

"Folk Against Fascism isn't a political party or a bureaucratic, top-heavy organisation. It is any and all of us who want to make ourselves aware of the BNP's bigoted view of our history and culture, and who want to do something about it. [..]

The BNP's Activists and Organisers Handbook encourages its members to get involved in the folk scene; Folk Against Fascism aims to make such infiltration impossible, with support coming from all sections of the folk community.

We can be found on the web and at various folk clubs and festivals, and we encourage people to organise and support events in their own area. [..]

We are currently organising a series of large-scale concerts to be held starting next year, but also encourage people to join the group, set up shows, distribute our stickers, badges and T Shirts, or simply pass on information to friends.
