I presume their propensity for bullying, quasi-legal intrigue and righteous thuggery are what you are referring to as marks of their current health as a movement.<br /><br />Oh and thanks for the music, mein host.<br /><br />RReimernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740384.post-46860607971442951822010-11-12T13:06:19.086-08:002010-11-12T13:06:19.086-08:00Waffling as interesting as your points are always ...Waffling as interesting as your points are always welcome, so waffle away. <br /><br />And, yep, I've run out of Zoogz.Mr Fabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116623844291424658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740384.post-79161993854891335072010-11-12T11:06:05.486-08:002010-11-12T11:06:05.486-08:00It's a BIG problem in some of the former Sovie...It's a BIG problem in some of the former Soviet states unfortunately.<br />There they attach themselves to football teams to recruit members, and commit horrendous acts against immigrants, minorities and gays.<br />The mob in England are a tiny but dangerously dumb bunch who have defected from the ultra-right wing BNP (British National Party) because they are now too middle-of-the-road for them, and attatched themselves to the emerging (and far more extreme) English Defence League.<br />The BNP are now discredited in the eyes of the extremists after a court ruling that, as a political party, they cannot discriminate against people joining on racial or sexual grounds.<br />This has of course led to many left-leaning blacks, asians, indians and homosexuals applying for membership just to fuck with them, which has scared off the hardcore bigots who used to make up their number.<br />Of course, these type of fanatics are far more likely to find an audience in these more financially troubled times where scapegoating immigrants for the lack of jobs is a far easier sell.<br />But i think, at least here, the anti-fascists are far better organised and more pro-active than they were in the days of Skrewdriver, so hopefully disaffected youths won't be suckered into the skinhead fold as easily as they were back then.<br />It's also a totally different era, Britain is a far more multi-cultural country than it was 20-30 years ago, and far more integrated too.<br />Sorry, i'm waffling on now.<br />No more Zoogz Rift? :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740384.post-12605663419950269442010-11-09T16:06:05.130-08:002010-11-09T16:06:05.130-08:00Sorry to hear that.
