People voted Hitler in because they were more scared of Communism (granted Stalin was as bad).
Pinochet was going to restore pride, and order to Chile.
The BNP are not the Nazis, but they certainly stand for some thing very divisive and dangerous.

Well we agree there.

He didn't come to power by election.

And they're not exactly the Lib Dems.
I mean if the BNP disappeared and all there was, was Veritas and UKIP.
Who are as antiimmigration/mulit culutralism as BNP that would be a very real challenge for them.
The idea of a UKIP style pogrom is too me quite amusing.
The BNP though are very much into, real violence, real race hatred, and real division.
Personally I'd like to see a really brave platfrom that was anti BNP, aanti Al Quaeda sympathisers, honour killings, forced marriages and violence promoting rap. And grey squirrels.
Until then Rise is the next best thing.

He was a very naughty boy.

Hmm how Hitler got into power, is a complex question.

Then you need to vote for Aaron! 
It's not the grey squirrels' faults. 
I'm so delighted I didn't type gey squirrels by accident.
So we actually agree Aaron?
Ever read What's Left? by Nick COhen.
It's the text book for disilluisoned lefties like myself.
Frankly I can't hold my nose long enough to have anything to do with Respect (antisemitic wankers), and the Labour Party is the Conservatives with added incompetence.
I may become a radical Lib Dem, death to all those who oppose proportioanl representation!

Do you have to kill them with Holocaust iconography?
Besides unlike other illegal immigrants they're quite tasty, with a nice redcurrant and whiskey sauce.
Also Gulls are quite tasty, as are their eggs.
Lets eat our enemies!

If you lost the first-past-the-post thing you'd get those ghastly coalition governments that we have. The horror, the horror.
You know Stalin killed 20,000,000+, Mao killed 30,000,000+
Hitler killed 12,000,000 (innocent citizens, as opposed to in war).
Bet Hitler really plays the big I am about this in Hell.
Ha ha, I killed less than you, but they all remember me!
Proportional representation, income tax as oposed to fix council taxes, a localised tax for schools these are all good ideas.
Picking a piss head, a very old man, and now Dave Cameron's libidinous mini me as leaders is bloody stupid.
I vote Lib Dem cos I never, ever, ever need to worry about them getting elected.

Oh it's great in Israel the minsiter of education is a black hatted, fanatic, who speaks Yiddish mostly, and is more right wing than the pope.
Picture a Welsh speaking love child of Ian Paisley and Thatcher as minister for education.
Can't we just genetically create an uber PM, with all the best features of past primeministers?
Quote: Griff @ July 14 2008, 8:04 PM BSTThe Lib Dems come up with their policies by getting pissed and randomly pressing buttons on Wikipedia.
LOL. That's going on my Facebook quotes.
That's so shit about it being cancelled. I also went the year Coxon played, The Wailers played there too and were fantastic. Me and my friends started a conga train during them (we were pretty wasted).
I like Boris but dropping the racism context of this was a bad move in my opinion. I'm sure there are still going to be lots of Rock Against Racism events hopefully though. I've been to a few in Trafalgar Square that have been great. I like free festivals
