Lots of interesting comments in the press this morning – mostly jumping to the corner of caution towards the recent victory by the BNP. They say ‘this isn’t a move back to the Fascism of the 30’s’, NO, NO, NO, this is just a protest vote in times of recession, they say… I’d agree, to a certain extent, but then we shouldn’t be so distracted by the victories of the BNP as to dismiss the far right populism that is silently gathering momentum through the rest of Europe, like the beginning of a porno movie yet to reveal its full, wrinkled, unrealistic self to the audience. I’m not in the mood to cause sensationalist fear based upon limited risk assessment, however, as the remainder of the British press find comfort in slating and throwing verbal eggs at Nick Griffin et al, I think it wise to give a little mention to the far right victories in countries such as Romania, Poland, Austria and Hungary (interestingly, these are some countries that slicked-backed Cameron wants to form allies with in the near future– hm, so how many Poles reside on British soil?). With this rise in far right popularity duly noted, it should also be pointed out that we there is no need to get too hyped up about the potential eradication of liberal values (yet), but we should definitely be cautious. Of course, this isn’t Fascism - but this is also not the 1930’s; instead, it might be suggested that politics, people and nations have the ability to evolve into different beasts - and so can Fascist mentalities. You only need to look at how Marx theology evolved into a much more brutal regime under the guise of Marxism-Leninism.
The BNPs first couple of seats in the EU doesn’t make them a huge threat. When this rabble of racists do get some proper airtime, which I hope to do soon, for all of Britain to witness, to be questioned under the media spotlight they WILL fall head over arse in stupidity, feeling much like Hitler as he lifted the chamber into his mouth. Why will the British electorate suddenly become flummoxed by the elevation of the BNP? Well, simply put, because giving the BNP a press conference to expose the full and filthy and frightening extent of their manifesto – i.e. revealing those policies no currently lit by the media spotlight - will inform the electorate of their error in loosening the reins of the beast. Let’s just have a peak at a couple of those flabbergasting policies: local apartheid, removing all ethnic minorities from the NHS (despite the fact that ethnic minorities make up about 60% of the staff), a social frown (and eventual ban) on mixed race relationships, corporal punishment for petty crimes, land ownership stripped from the non-British and returned to the British (hasn’t a similar policy happened somewhere in Africa recently and with disastrous consequences?) – hmm… so, “how are you going to provide a free health service without staff, Mr Griffin”… “You want to offer packages to immigrants to encourage them to move out of Britain – to, in your words ‘restore the white make-up of Britain’ – however, this will surely cost Billions. So, how would you and your party solve the current recession with such expensive long-term policies in mind?”… “And lastly, for now, because the chilling air around you is starting to disturb me, ‘riffles for all households’ – please, Mr. Griffin, explain to us how presenting a gun to any old wolly, crook and granny might aid a safer society.”
With absurd policies like this (and many more), I have faith in the British people to repel such immature politics, and when the initial panic-dust of the BNP’s victory has settled upon the soil of our Britain, these thieves of freedom will surely recoil back into the dimly-lit, soul-destroying, human-suffering corners of civic centres in Burnley and hell, and will never muster enough fervour to cause any real harm to our social freedoms.
A more harmful issue, which surely demands more of our attention right now, is that we are edging ever-closer to the return of a Conservative government – a regime that has already begun forming allies with the centre-right and far-right bloc in Eastern Europe…
