Daily Mail warns against fascism

[The Idler]

Peter Hitchens in an intelligent article in the Daily Mail warned of the growing threat of the BNP this week (http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2009/02/please-listen-to-me-or-youll-get-something-much-worse.html).

I'm having some issues with my internet right now and the page is attempting to load. It would be intresting to see what's been said though. Could the Mail be doing a U-turn? Might the whole of the Rupert Murdoch's media follow suit? Maybe Murdoch grew up?

:P

The comments are worrying...

Well this is quite a turnaround for the newspaper of 'hurrah for the blackshirts!' fame.

Sadly the comments section aint...

Anyone else notice the SLIGHT problem of the Mail stirring up racism week after week and then getting all upset when a political party actually takes them up on it?

Makes you think their racism may not be sincere!:lol:

I allways find it strange how the daily mail hate the bnp so much, they seem to see eye to eye with them on a lot of issues
sun's the same

all this opposition to the far right is nice, but really it means nothing as long as the they continue to print politicaly motivated lies with the intention of demonising foregners and promoting a right wing agenda

Daily Mail has always been more ukipy/tory than BNP. They're scared of extremes like everyone else.

[Kernewek]

oh I realise they've always supported the centre right rather than far right parties, at least they have since ww2 anyway

but my point is that the views promoted in the daily mail aren't all that different from the "we're not racist but..." rhetoric of the modern bnp

[Dr Mindbender]

I find it ironic that the Daily Fail are warning us when they're one of the major players in helping them rise to prominence.

[Greenman]

Peter Hitchens is a weird one, he is rabidly right wing, yet on some issues his views are closer to the left than his supposedly left-liberal (B52 Liberal) brother Christopher.

[Greenman]

He is a reactionary joker though, particularly when he sounds off about "state-sponsored immorality" Ha ha ha.:laugh:

The Daily Mail warns of anything that they can write about that'll get read. I'm not even going to open the link.

[redSHARP]

speaking of right wing jackasses, ann coulter wrote a column saying the liberals in the USA are targeting the Council of Conservative Citizens and painting them as racist (they are the upper class version of the KKK). the republicans got pissed at her and put her down!

this article worries me, i think he is being sincere even though he is a complete and utter fool.

[gorillafuck]

Ann Coulter criticized people for saying the Council of Conservative Citizens is racist? FFS, has she read their statement of principles?

We also oppose all efforts to mix the races of mankind

And while we're on the subject of the CCC......


we oppose all efforts by the state and other powers to weaken the structure of the American family through toleration of sexual licentiousness, homosexuality and other perversions, mixture of the races, pornography in all forms, and subversion of the authority of parents.
We oppose the presence of homosexuals and women in the military services
We oppose all welfare for immigrants, whether legal or illegal.
