Arthurian Legend

"Once back here I got to thinking - 'how do I get out of this?' Perhaps the really haunting spectre is that I would have to turn my back on the lake, and the prospect of the sword." Alan Clark, Diaries - 19th May 1999

Hold The Front Page!

Just below stories about kids "getting stuck into noodles" and a water leak:
















More here and here.

One quibble with the story. I thought that the BNP should be classified as left-wing (in favour of nationalisation, economic protectionism, state interference in private relationships, etc...)? Surely we ought to be tarring the left with the BNP brush, not the "right"...

Rather a shame to shunt those lovely photos off the top spot, but hey ho...

I don`t know about that AL I know we are supposed to say that the Nazis are Socilaists but it isn`t really true . The BNP are right wing its more comoplicated than that . The right is a multidimensional complex of ideas and emotions . The Left is Socialism variously diluted. If you wre to read some of Mussolinis speeches you would find much tbnat has an emotional appeall and some that is bonkers pure and simple.


On second thought you`re probably right , keep it simple .They`re socialists

They are collectivists. Hold your nose and go to their website, or for the more delicate sensibility, check out the wiki entry.

Hitler was a socialist, lest we forget. He was an anti-internationalist, hence (and pretty much ONLY hence, IYKWIM) anti-communist, but a nationalist-socialist nevertheless.

BNP is left-wing. John McDonnell's policy platform bears closer resemblance to BNP policies than any other. Keep rebutting the right-wing tag.
