Playtime at the Booths

What sort of mother would film her small children dressed in keffiyehs, rapping about Gaza, and then post it on the internet? Why, Lauren Booth – patron of the antisemitic blood-libel-spreading racist hate paper, The Palestine Telegraph - of course.

Free speech here and over there

I had to make do with articles like this to fill the HP vacuum. [...]

Racial Volunteer Force links to Soldiers off the Street

This is a cross post by Nothing British about the BNP:

The Racial Volunteer Force, the violent neo-Nazi group which splintered from Combat-18, has exchanged internet links with Soldiers off the Street, the BNP-linked homeless veterans organisation.
The RVF is a rabidly racist organisation that regularly promotes hatred of non-whites and Jews. In the past [...]

Political Soldiers and the New Man – part two

This is the second in a three-part series of cross posts by Dave Rich of the CST:
The National Front’s public admiration for the Iranian Revolution and their financial connection with Libya were not universally popular amongst NF members. Even within the leadership group there were some who were unhappy about these [...]

Capitalism Must Go

This is a guest post by Graham Taylor of the Socialist Party
These elections are taking place in the middle of the biggest economic and financial crisis since the 1930s. In a world that has the potential to produce enough food, clothes, housing and the other amenities of life for all, factories are closing down, workers [...]
