The liberal warmonger, the bourgoise reactionary and the mendacious mercenary

WORK IN PROGRESS

The following article was written in response to a blog article, written by Nick Cohen, "Why I wouldn't ban BNP members from being teachers", and published by The Observer (Sunday 28 June 2009) on The Guardian's Comment is Free online blog site.

The original blog article is here: Why I wouldn't ban BNP members from being teachers

Ultra-nationalists of a feather, flock together. Take one bourgoise reactionary, one liberal warmonger, and one mendacious mercenary, mix together with some well dodgy intellectual and cultural basis, then don't allow to set. Serve up on a layer of instinct and blind prejudice, to the delight of a baying pack of shrieking-racist misanthropic twits.

Neither should be given a platform. Both should be challenged every step of the way - yet in Britain many march against the BNP but none march against the extreme fundamentalists.

Fundamental constitutional reform to make the UK a truly constitutional, secular and democratic society will - I think - address the issues of fundamentalism that you might be alluding to.

Maybe this would also have an effect of making the UK a more just society, hence diminishing the appeal of the BNP.

What we need is a cry of outrage that brought Michael Foot to denounce the guilty men.

What we need is a sense of decency, dignity and honour that says "not in my country".

What we need is a people who once again will draw the line at right and wrong, of lies and truth of apology and resistance.

Britain will defeat any authoritarian, totalitarian and anti-democratic scourge, the best it knows how.

We can show the guilty men for just who they are, now as ever before.

The apologists for scum, the scum that caused the worst war and the largest holocaust in European history, are at our doors.

Guilty men, as Michael Foot so rightly said.

Let me make my position clear on this. I oppose the BNP for several reasons and an importnat one is their left wing policies and approach.

Don't worry. Do you think the night of the long knives was simply a mortal kitchen accident?

Once the useful idiots have helped the fascists win power, who do you think wields power?

Conflating the "political left" with New Labour may draw applauses Nick, but when is enough mendaciousness really enough?
