The airwaves are full of the news that Trevor Philips' equalities super-quango are to sue the BNP because they only let white people join the party.
Excuse me? What are you thinking equalicrats?
As if we didn't know the BNP didn't like black people. They're racists you know! And trying to use equalities rules to shut them down is pouring high octane racing fuel on a fire - bloody stupid.
Using the courts to "beat the fascists" is using their methods - so what if they only want white members. So what if they break the assorted equalities laws with every breath.
We'll only defeat them by persuading the voters that they are idiots - and we don't do that by being total idiots ourselves now do we?

Top post Simon - until we get to the last sentence. To defeat the fascists we have to be able to tell better, more constructive, more ennobling and challenging stories and offer people more hope than the fascists do.
Calling them idiots is both tempting and obvious - but idiocy is in the eye of the beholder.
The curse of rhetorical shorthand, Mike!
