I am delighted to say that the fightback against the Fascists has already started....look at this!

I am a life-long advocate and practitioner of non-violence...but I cannot say I am sorry that Griffin has been pelted with eggs on his first public appearance after his shameful election to the European Parliament.
It transpires that, though he was uninjured, one of his bodyguards appears to have assaulted one of the protestors...

And there was another protest in Manchester today...

Why do I think we should protest in the strongest possible terms against the election of Fascists to the European Parliament? Were they not democratically elected?
Well, yes, but SO WAS HITLER. He manipulated the democratic process to get himself elected so that he could then destroy the democratic process. It indicates, I suppose, that democracy carries within it the seeds of its own destruction...
If we confine our protests against the Fascists to non-violence, unfortunately they will be ineffective...I am really distressed when I contemplate what the future might hold for those of us who have always believed in peaceful protest....

I'm not a BNP supporter, but I think that people ought to look at our own police force before they talk about fascism. Unless one has had dealings with the police then everything in the garden seems rosy, but speak to, or read about those that have been treated badly by the police and you get an insight into what true fascism is. The BNP are only playing at it, read PACE and see just how much power the police have. It will scare you.
