[kj] (OT) Singing rule Britannia

[Darren A. Peace]

Well, since their membership lists are so closely guarded, I think it's a
good idea people join. Easier to keep an eye on them.

There's a few of us saying this.. there's the fact that they won't realise
just how nasty the BNP are because they haven't scratched the surface, but
nevertheless, they're pretending they offer a voice to many.

it's an interesting premise "defend democracy" when roughly 1 person in 17
voted for BNP in the EU elections as opposed to say Benn's Labour who polled
roughly 1 in 7. surely the act of protesting against this party's policies
is anti-democratic? 

what concerns me more, is why so many people (nearly 1 million) are that
disaffected that they would vote this outright fascist party in the first
place. 

we're a little lucky the proportional representation system used in these
elections runs at regional rather than national level, otherwise they'd have
had 4 of the 72 elected as opposed to 2.

"Members of Unite Against Fascism, a new group supported by trade unions and
MPs from all parties, including Tory leader David Cameron, and veteran left
wing campaigner Tony Benn, said they wanted to "defend democracy" against
what they regard as the "fascist" and "racist" policies of the BNP. 
One told the crowd his message for Mr Griffin was: "Wherever you go in this
country we will make sure you are welcomed by demonstrations." 
 
Glad it's happening, but this could also promote the BNP.
