Not really. As for whipping up hesteria, go visit any part of london
now and see how much Polish you can hear.


Perhaps I'm mis-understanding you, but I don't think yer average Pole is
more likely to be hysterical than yer average Brit. But perhaps, not
speaking Polish, I don't understand the jokes that they're always
telling.

Just a thought - perhaps they are part of the problem. Housing for
example doesn't magically appear when 300,000 poles suddenly rock up
not to mention all the others. But you go back to your dreamworld and
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.


Yes, we wouldn't want a mayor who hates Jews to replace Livingstone!

As I said before, presumably Garry Bushell is in favour of state
control
of an integrated transport system, with greater use of light
railways,
trams, cycle-ways and pedestrian friendly areas. That's where it's
relevant to this group.

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
and paste from Wikipedia - complete with [citation needed]...


That could be fun if a serious party tried it.
