Presumably it means that Garry Bushell is in favour of state control

Fortunately their FAQ runs along the lines of
1. Are you Nazis?
2. Are you sure you're not Nazis?
3. So you're definitely not Nazis then?


Interesting idea - a political party which describes itself using a cut

That could be fun if a serious party tried it.

don't let reality trouble you. This isn't the forum for this anyway.

Try and think a little about the reality facing people targeted by the
Nazi groups and think again about whether you want to give them
respectability. You are preparing the ground for them.

The railway related term is "no platform".
