I think it all started with 9/11 being blamed on the Muslim community. Before 9/11, Muslims were just another group of people that everyone got along with, and Islam was just another religion. All this changed when the American media started their Islamophobia campaign to justify invading Afghanistan and Iraq, and then the British media jumped on the American bandwagon, which set everything else in motion. The economy made things worse, obviously.<br /><br />I think we should remind people of how things used to be before 9/11, and before the economy started collapsing. We should try to rebuild community relations to the way they were back in the late 1990s and pre-war 2000s. We should be using that period, of which most people have fond memories, as the model of society we want to get back to. Back then, it really didn't matter AT ALL what race you were - people were people. So I think the best response to the far-right's claim that multiculturalism "cannot" work is to remind people that it WAS IN FACT WORKING PERFECTLY until a just few years ago, and therefore can work again as soon as we stop letting the media and the far-right plant fear in our heads. <br /><br />Of course the crashing economy makes things harder for everyone, but what the far-right never mentions is that their approach won't help the economy, all they will do is transfer all the suffering to the immigrants. Instead of telling people to go through the hard times together, they want to teach us to betray others for our own benefit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-27820393428345467282011-03-01T02:16:15.605+00:002011-03-01T02:16:15.605+00:00EDL LEADERSHIP FINALLY DISSOCIATES ITSELF FROM THE...EDL LEADERSHIP FINALLY DISSOCIATES ITSELF FROM THE ENA (EXCEPT ROBERTA MOORE): - <br /><br />http://1millionunited.org/blogs/blog/2011/02/27/edl-leadership-finally-dissociates-itself-from-english-nationalist-alliance/NewsHoundnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-27782418430562119152011-02-28T21:49:29.224+00:002011-02-28T21:49:29.224+00:00No one thinks that the BNP is going to win tomorro...No one thinks that the BNP is going to win tomorrow, however their danger does not lay in what they are but their what they can become. There is a burning resentment in the white working class and the potential in what the BNP can become is apparent. They have the potential to tap into that and i believe they will do so if we are not careful.<br /> There is a soft support for the BNP, most people will not suupport them because they are told not to do so by the MSM. Many people i know and work with (in the Royal Mail) support their views but wont vote for them because they are told they are extremists.<br /> There is a growing acceptance of intolerance to the islamic community and a deep suspicion betwen the races. All it takes is one EDL march in the wrong area to ignite the flames of communal violence in which the only winners will be the BNP. <br /> Dont despise the BNP because thay are in a slump, the situation could turn around in a flash and they will become a real threat. Situations evolve at a tremendous pace and i think we are too complacentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-34317594089166547482011-02-28T21:29:27.396+00:002011-02-28T21:29:27.396+00:00'Should we be manning the barricades',.......'Should we be manning the barricades',.........people the barricades, surely!!!!!<br />-----------------------<br /><br />I just lol'd my pants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-77393492396576990332011-02-28T19:56:02.954+00:002011-02-28T19:56:02.954+00:00Yup, the Observer's headlines were worthy of a...Yup, the Observer's headlines were worthy of a tabloid. <br /><br />Come to think of it; Observer, tabloid, not much difference really.La Di Da Gunner Grahamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-75795953956578239542011-02-28T16:05:47.239+00:002011-02-28T16:05:47.239+00:00its share of the vote remains more or less what it...<i> its share of the vote remains more or less what it has always been: that is, pathetic.</i><br /><br />Why does it have 2 MEP's sittiong in Brussels then?<br /><br />Just under 1 million votes two years ago for a bunch of closet nazis, cranks and Holocaust deniers will always be cause for deep concren.<br /><br />Those voters haven't gone away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-73742555536894930222011-02-28T15:23:24.807+00:002011-02-28T15:23:24.807+00:00The BNP is a far Right party that doesn't use ...<i> The BNP is a far Right party that doesn't use fascist imagery </i><br /><br />Their youth wing uses the odal rune.<br /><br />44 seconds in here<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzlGbP3bQGo<br /><br />This symbol was the insignia of the 7th SS "prinz eugen" division during the War and has long associations with fascism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-90513853812636574122011-02-28T13:09:35.831+00:002011-02-28T13:09:35.831+00:00'Should we be manning the barricades',.......'Should we be manning the barricades',.........people the barricades, surely!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-34122008173865090592011-02-28T13:04:54.772+00:002011-02-28T13:04:54.772+00:00A very sensible article.A very sensible article.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
