Simone Clarke and the BNP

[lionheart]

Anyone been following this here ?

What sort of financial collapse blu - a local council one?

So, a national one?

Yes, National.

omg - yes, Speedymama, the link to Hitler had escaped me.

And they protest indignantly about being called fascist!

It was all in a double page spread in the Guardian - must have been Saturday. it was an undercover Guardian reporter who found Simone Clarke's name on a membership list.

presumably they wouldn't have a hope in hell and are only supported by saddos and very, very stupid people. Yes? [please say yes.]

Marina, one of my work colleagues went to a men's hairdresser in Welling when he first moved there (renting). Someone came in whilst he was havig his hair cut and he and the barber started discussing the previous nights meeting. It transpired that it was a BNP meeting and they asked my colleague if he would like to come to the next one. He graciously declined and left as soon as the barber had finished. He said the language used about non-whites was disgusting. He never went there again and left the area soon after.

Although I think the very fact they think that this is achievable shows how deluded and divorced from reality they must be...doesn't it? They cannot possibly command this level of support...not while we have, ahem, the Conservatives to attract the "respectable Little Englander"...

yes i was thinking that Marina, why doesn't Simone Clarke just join the conservatives?

speedymama it is not quite as overt right where I live, thankfully, but yes, that sounds plausible
The gang who allegedly murdered Stephen Lawrence all live hereabouts

Could she have failed their IQ test ruty...

Ruty - well, financial collpase of this country seems a very long way away....but I feel less secure about the tendency of stupid people to look at things in a very shallow way.

The Daily Mail and BNP stance seem indistinguishable, really. I think an awful lot of it is more popular than reasonable people imagine.

How ironic, woman who travels the world had ishoos with immigration.

The guardian article here .

The last paragraph says
"Many of its members could not be further from the stereotype of the British far-right. One is the American chief executive of a City investment corporation, while another is a servant of the Queen, living at Buckingham Palace."

I wonder if the American chief executive is a Klu Klux Klan member?

Anyway, the Conservatives are re-inventing themselves as the new hip Cool Britannia party and are now probably too liberal and complicated for the grey-matter-lite Simone Clarke.
Til they get in, of course. When, whatever DC says, the great wave of middle England blue sitting in the benches behind him would pressurise him to revert to the righteous right.

MT, I always find it ironic that many of those who oppose immigration see nothing wrong with themselves travelling to other countries let alone immigrating themselves.

whats poltroon mean Speedy?

Poltroon means wretched coward

Just googled it

I was afraid it was another one of those terms for mixed race, you know the ones that change by 'degrees'?

Lol Marina.
Yes it is odd speedymama, i suppose the ex pats living in the Costa del Sol see themselves as an asset to the Spanish nation.

Blu

H emight even drive them to UKIP which is becoming allied to some fascist party on the continent isn't it?

It's a very dangerous game Cameron is playing

Yes, naive was probably too kind a word .... but she does seem pretty clueless about it all, doesn't she?

Blu, the eco element is interesting because it was something that was also incorporated into Nazi ideology
(not too difficult a leap from a nostalgia for an imagined origin, forms of bodily/cultural purity and an imagined pastoral idyll etc).

Not that I'm saying that lentil-weavers have Fascistic tendencies or anything like that.

Have you seen this ?

I wonder how long Cameron will last if the Tory stalwarts have their way?

Wasn't there a lull in far right support at the height of Thatcherism 'cos the party could so easily absorb the veiws of racists and xenophobes?

The sooner those stalwarts take a run and jump the better for everybody, Speedymama.
