Interesting there seems to be no fear of a revival of Bolshevism.
There is no "fear of a nationalist revival". The vast majority of Brits find the very idea of rampant nationalism morally repugnant. Of course there are a few small groups of nationalists, but they are so massively and stupidly incompetent that any small political gains they make soon get lost again, BNP local councellors who never bother to turn up for council meetings for instance, or massive corruption and infighting in the higher ranks of the party.

That plus the rank and file usually being thuggish idiots makes them more to be pitied than feared.

Here is Nick Griffin on Question Time during the last British general election. What an eejit. This broadcast scuppered any chances that his party had.

It is a rallying cry for many modern National Socialists. "The world hates Germans and we don't deserve to be hated." The reality is Germany is no more loved or hated than any other nation or culture. Germany has taken its place as a nation among nations. It is a progressive caring society. The ideologies that drove National Socialism are as dead as the ideologies they perceived as enemies

The reality is all that went before is dust in history books. The world has moved on, found other concerns to deal with, maybe supporters of National Socialism should consider the same course of action

Yep, that bumbling corrupt fool is the cream of the party, the best they could come up with as a leader. This generations crop of the master race in (in)action.

What do you think of Nick Griffin, that shining example of the Master Race, Clayton? i wouldn't trust him to sit the right way round on a toilet.
