So the same old tired name calling and arguements drift to yet Another BNP thread, sorry Emma, I know you mean very well indeed, and are one of the very few who can put together valid arguements in a sensible manner. If this particualr thread is to survive I believe the founder of the thread can be given editing and modding rights. I think perhaps this might be a good idea, that way the thread stays on track.
I've always felt that the left has always had a certain lobotomisation to it, feed'em the right script lines and they'll do the knee-jerk "how high do you want us to jump" thing, Seen it too often at actions and demos over the years, put me off attending the events for quite awhile. I realised that the few shouldn't be allowed to ruin it for those who genuinely cared and genuinely wanted to work for change. Name calling and making fun doesn't work and the people that indulge themselves in this sort of things (you know who you are)are not contributing anything.
