Today, Nick Griffin was pelted with eggs. He's a politician so deserves it by default, but he hasn't had a chance to screw up yet so maybe the egg-throwing should be put on hold for a while. I don't agree with his party's policies but he was elected. I don't agree with Labour policies either but they were elected so I have to put up with them. I haven't seen much in the way of Tory polices but I doubt I'm going to like those very much either. It looks as if they might be elected so I'll have to grin and bear it. Those who are elected are never those I agree with, because I have the X of Death. Whereever I place my X, the party is doomed. So I always end up ruled over by people I don't like. Politicians.

I've never voted Labour. They can't blame me.

I have never thrown anything at the Brown Gorgon or his goblin horde. I have lobbed no missiles at the Cameroids. The Drones, aka the Lib Dems, have never decided anything so can't be justifiably pelted. Likewise, I would not throw things at those BNP MEPs. I don't agree with them but they were elected.

John 'Event Horizon' Prescott once had an egg thrown at him. He smacked the miscreant in the face. What would have happened had Nick the Griff reacted in that way? The outcome might have been somewhat different in his case, don't you think?

The BNP are considered the fascist party. The fascist party, the only one. Now, I would agree that many of their ideas and policies are fascist in nature but are they the only ones?

Today we learn that the Metropolitan Police used waterboarding to interrogate suspects. Mengele hadn't thought of that one.

Browsing blogs, I came across this assessment of the Green party, which includes the Green threat of 'when we gain power, we'll remember who opposed us.' Goebbels would be so proud.

Labour want a database of everyone's DNA and are actively arresting innocents in order to get it. They want us all to carry ID cards and have given councils power to spy on us at will. They recruit neighbours and children as spies. They use children to control their parents' behaviour. Kids have been arrested for playground fights, smokers have been chased by the police for dropping a cigarette butt, a man reporting open-air gay sex in a public park was charged with homophobia, photographers have been stopped under anti-tourist legislation and so on and on and on. Labour get a bigger share here because they're the ones in power and so are in a position to enact their fascist ways on the rest of us. They have created a control state which would make Stalin weep tears of joy.

The Tories look set to continue the nanny state in the form of the nudge state. The nudges will get harder and harder until we are cudgelled into obeying. They will repeal none of Labour's petty laws. They will be the same.

Politicans, of all rosettes, want nothing more than control. They want power. They want everyone to conform to their way of thinking and woe betide anyone who disagrees. To this end, they have funded groups like Searchlight and Unite Against Fascism (using our money) to shout down those who abuse free speech by speaking. 'Free speech for everyone but fascists', they say. I'm told the Americans don't 'get' irony. Neither do the socialists, it seems. Their idea of free speech is simple. You have free speech unless we disagree with what you say, then we'll arrest you for it and/or send Government-sponsored mindless thugs to smash up your meetings.

The BNP wouldn't be any different. The question is, would they really be that much worse? I'm having trouble seeing any difference, to be honest. So are a lot of people. Almost a million have now come to the conclusion that no, they wouldn't be any worse at all. Today's rampaging anti-fascist fascists have very likely made another few hundred think that too. The UAF are openly violent. The BNP are not. Who would you prefer to be locked in a room with? Never mind the politics, try to imagine what the average-IQ is thinking about this. All they know is what's in the news. Who would they prefer to have in charge? The talking fascists or the hammer-wielding ones?

It seems we are stuck with fascists, no matter who we vote for. In which case, 'free speech for everyone but fascists' means the lot of them should shut up. They won't of course, because not one fascist party out there can see that they are fascist. Everyone else is.

Weyman Bennet of the UAF puts his case:

“Wherever Nick Griffin or the BNP exist we will stand up with other people and say that the politics of fascism and Nazism have no place in the 21st century.

Unless he and his group are doing it, in which case it's fine. It's fine with the BNP too. They never have to defend their policies as long as these Righteous groups keep shutting down debate. No error in their thinking will ever be explored and communicated to the people of this country because the UAF prevent such a thing happening. As far as the population is concerned, the BNP are the victims here and the UAF are doing a PR job that you just couldn't buy.

“These types of politics don’t represent the majority of this country and the majority of people have to speak up for a decent society.”

Labour doesn't represent the majority of this country either. Seven members of the Cabinet represent nobody at all. Seven of them, unelected and yet running the country. Where do you stand on that, Mr. Bennet? The BNP have only 6% of the vote, but seven people in the Cabinet have none of it. The people of this country are not stupid (okay, 15% still are but they're getting the idea) and they know the difference between unelected and elected, between an MEP and a self-selected gang. If you are so sure of universal support, Mr. Bennet, put your name on the voting form and set out your policies.

Who are the fascists, Mr. Bennet? The elected or the unelected? The voted-in or your self-appointed group?

I have the uneasy feeling that it's all of them.
