Well if you want to know where the British neo-fascist fringe

entertains itself on the Internet, apart obviously from Facebook, try Yahoo Answers some time.

The thing to do is invent some statistics, present them as "facts", and given the lack of any critical answering device, nobody can challenge them.

There was one ludicrous comment on there today that "coloured" immigrants are breeding like flies, that thousands were getting into the country illegally usw usw.

The same garbage that has been emanating from these individuals for over 40 years now.

Yahoo Answers also has a facility where you can approve or disapprove of the comment. Six to nil in favour of this (inaccurate) blurb. Which indicates that this BNP clone has a lot of supporters out there, people who are convinced of this nonsense.

If you actually had a forum where you could place detailed facts before them .... But that would be asking for the moon, wouldn't it? After all never let the facts get in the way of a good story, or a piece of updated Goebbels-style propaganda.

You are prone to wonder from this how far we are from a British Anders Breivik emanating from the gutter, or a David Copeland imitator. I have to admit more than ever that I am happy to be living in a country where such morons invariably find themselves heavily outnumbered wherever and whenever they appear. Which seems to be more than you can, sadly, say for the UK.

Update 25/8/2025.

Those were the days when you could write this sort of thing.

As of now a neo-Fascist political party, which spends nearly all its time ranting on about illegal immigrants and asylum seekers and hardly ever discusses the economy - their approach would make Liz Truss's experiment a couple of years ago seem a mild disaster in comparison - for fairly obvious reasons.

Despite the fact that 68% of people in the UK in a recent opinion poll indicated that they want the return of the freedom of movement in the EU which they previously had, the EU is an ogre to be avoided at all costs apparently - and if you can win a landslide majority with 30% of the vote thanks to the first past the post system while the opposition remains divided ....

And given the likely prospect of a neo-Fascist President of France in 2027 .....  Not a time to be optimistic at all, is it?
