not in my name
it’s official. the nazis bnp have won two seats on the european parliament.
jonno refuses to share my outrage and indignation. “it’s only two seats. this is a democracy.”
don’t forget: the original nazis were democratically elected too. this is the same party that wants both me and you out of the country as immigrants. the same party that calls for “voluntary repatriation” of non-whites.
this is not democracy. this is fucking repugnant. this is voting from a place of hatred and fear. has history taught us nothing about the pitfalls of that? the bnp are fascist, racist, nazi sympathisers. we’re talking people who burned synagogues, and participated in the national front. the news keeps calling them the “far right”. calling the bnp the far right is like calling the titanic a naval mishap.
dress it up any way you want – we’ve sent nazis to represent us in the european parliament.
and i, for one, won’t stop being fucking disgusted, fucking outraged, screaming at people to wake the fuck up.
i’m getting the fuck outta here.

“Just two seats” reminds me of the poem “First they came… “. It’s a dangerous trend.
However. For eight years I watched my country seemingly become overtaken by a neo-con right wing zealots determined to rule by fear, xenophobia, and war while the other side simmered with anger. Thankfully that simmering became a boil, allowing for an historical breakthrough for America. Obama is far from perfect, but is the first president in my lifetime that I truly respect, and I am certain he wouldn’t have been elected if it weren’t for Bush.
I hope for Europe’s sake this is the pendulum reaching its furthest point before swinging back. I hope.
