Subject: RE: BS: Direct Action : UK
LC, as said before I do think there's a place for some nationalist type sentiment/slogans. Defending the umm 'traditional values' of this land and so on. And in particular what may make it pertinent is that it's the very social infrastructure built after WWII that this govt. are now attacking. That infrastructure is there to defend the most vulnerable in our society, and arguably symbolises all the best that Britain stands for: 'fair play', equality, decency, protecting the weak yada yada.. The biggest danger with that kind of sentiment is however that it can be readily co-opted by hard right thugs. That said, should they be allowed to?
