Its been a few days since this happened but i wanted to chime in with my thoughts.
UAF (Unite against Fascism) disrupted a Bnp conference outside Westminster, throwing eggs and rocks. Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons were both rushed to their cars by their bodyguards.
I bet you have heard all the rhetoric about Nick Griffin being a holocaust denier and Andrew being a part of the National Front when he was 17, so i will spare you the time.
Every politician has skeletons in their closet, Considering how close socialism and communism is, i wonder how many Labour party members are ex-communists. You cant judge someone on their past, If this was so half the politicians in Westminster should of been sacked as of this year due to Fraud.
The BNP have doing nothing but democratic and fair things in the 21st century and i believe they have changed.
But the UAF have shown the world that free speech is okay as long as its not from the right. In turn it seems to me that the UAF are being the Fascists, stifling is an effective way to silence an enemy, but it isn’t democratic is it.
The UAF are trying to prevent something they “Believe” will happen, ( BNP are Nazi’s etc ) but by definition they are doing the same thing they are protesting against if Fascism did arise, so in my opinion this behavior from the UAF has fascist traits.

Not implying the Bnp are monsters, I don’t think there fascists or racists.
I welcome any comment be it negative or positive, please comment.
Thanks
