Chilling evidence, if we needed it, of the rise of the far right here in Britain. The BNP may be in tatters after losing its leader and only Euro MEP but coming right up behind are this awful lot.

Thanks for your support SP1814 !

I am used to being in a smallish minority here on AB, and I have broad shoulders. But I hadn't expected so many to speak against me, on this thread of the rise of the Far Right. This rise is to be deplored by every sensible democratic person but according to many on here today, its the fault of me and the Labour Party that is to blame for these crop-and-knuckled-headed racists and thugs. Replace immigrants and Muslims, for Jews, and we could be back in 1933.

As you say, the Far Right is not represented very much in our political lives here in Britain, despite all the noise they make, but they are still marching on our streets, and that we need to be concerned about. But they are gaining power all over Europe, and that is worrying.

Your story about Gandhi amuses me but doesn't surprise me in the least. We have a lovely new Post Office and shop in the village, and people are referring to as the "New P****s" when the owners are Hindus of East African origin !

As you say...some people are just thick !

Douglas...its a scandal that the rise of the Right has been taken so casually here on AB, as it is in the country in general.
