Dark Moon Rising

Just had a BNP leaflet come through the door, in aid of our upcoming local and Euro elections, and you can see how they're playing on all the nationalist sentiments in order to capitalise on both the recession and the recent expenses scandal in British politics. Sickening thing is they're probably going to do well as people are so hacked off with the mainstream parties that they're not going to bother voting. Reminds me of Weimar Germany in the 1930s - hard times leading to people losing all faith in politics leading directly to nutters getting into power and making things a hundred times worse for everyone. There's no easy solution to what's going on at present, but I hope it isn't the thin end of the wedge for a return of nationalist hatreds. People forget far too quickly.

Foolishness

It never ceases to amaze me how some people can spend hours and hours of their lives talking about how they never have enough time to get things done.
