Of course the publication of the BNPs membership list is a hideous invasion of privacy and totally deplorable, but it's still kinda fun to find out where the nazis live. Or should that be scary? Anyway I was surfing through the "A"s just now and I found there's one living in the street behind me- close enough for me to hit her with a well-aimed snowball or tomato (if it wasn't for the houses in between).

She won't be the only one. A breakdown of the list says that between eleven and twenty of the little varmints share my post code.

I go on scrolling. Here's one- in the "H"s- on my very street.

This is what it must feel like to be a secret policeman- or the recording angel.

Which is why I shouldn't be doing it- and must stop.

The posts I noticed seemed less to do with building an identity on their own skin, and more to do with living in run-down northern towns and recounting tales of asian thugs, petty crimes and generally having their towns overtaken in some sense. Having never lived more than about 30 miles north of the English channel, and not really having visited the North, I'm not in a position to comment.
I didn't see that program but it sounds interesting. I bet the producers were well pleased to find a part-Jewish Neo-fascist.

It cuts both ways. There are Asian thugs and there are white thugs. There are also ghettos. We live between a white ghetto- where you never see a brown face and an Asian ghetto where you rarely see a white one. People draw back into their communities and view all outsiders with suspicion. It's the old village mentality transferred to the multicultural city.

A lot of white working-class people feel deserted by the mainstream political establishment and turn to the BNP because the BNP talks the language of the streets. I blame Labour for deserting their core constituency. How many members of the present government have authentic working class roots? How many of them have any feeling for life as its lived in places like Dewsbury Moor.
