Stone me. So clearly, from the BNP standpoint, Britishness is conferred solely by blood ancestry – this isn’t just a pre-industrial doctrine, it’s pre-rational, thoroughly tribalistic and primitive. A childlike notion, which no amount of territorial justification can raise from the swamp of knuckle-dragging bigotry.
There’s a word for Griffin and his moronic followers.
I won’t use it here.
D
Is it just me, or does NG look to be of Norman descent?
(Not just illegal immigrants but terrorists too!)
Don’t forget the Brit test the Dail Mail came up with, if you were the child or grandchild of an immigrant you’re not a Brit.
HA HA HA!
This backward thinking is of the past, of basic lines drawn in the sand, idiots one and all.
Just out of interest, do you think the strategy of Unite Against Fascism is a useful approach to halting the rise of the BNP?
As opposed to what?
Um… well I could go into some depth on this but I thought it would be obvious that there are a myriad of different strategies that could be adopted rather than seeking to build ‘anti-fascist’ majorities at election time and equally obvious that this approach is not one which is currently working.

Excellent. Please do. Looking at your blog you seem to be well clued up about this. Tell me about the different strategies and why it’s obvious that building anti-fascist majorities isn’t currently working. I’m not sure why – I’m only at the early stages of getting off my arse and doing something about this. I’d be very happy to learn how best to do it. I went for UAF because they’re active in Hove near where I live (it’s Tyndall’s old stamping ground) and I have a mate who turns out for them.
If you did a post on your place I’d help to push it. I doubt I’m the only one who wants to go up against the BNP in the run up to June.
Fair enough, I didn’t expect such a decent reply! I was planning on posting up a fairly detailed piece sometime next week.
Most of my my arguments aren’t original though, they were originally voiced in a document called ‘Filling the Vacuum’ produced in 1995 by Anti-Fascist Action after the BNP announced it was shifting its strategy from street marches and confrontations to electoral work. The outcome of this was a political group, the Independent Working Class Association, but it’s impact has remained limited.
Despite this the arguments and analysis of AFA, Red Action and the IWCA remain critically important for understanding the failure of the anti-fascist movement in the last decade. If you’re looking for a starting point then you won’t do better than that.
