Were the NF wrong?


The film was very critical of the far-rights infiltration of the skin head movement.

The mini-series regurgitated a lot of the NF recruitment speech, but in a more inspirational manner that second time around.

Considering Combo's fate. Considering Bradford, Luton and Rotherham, were the NF in 90 wrong?

I'm going to say yes and no. You can understand their motives, but I can see why they could have been seen as racists.

reply

Eh? Are you having a laugh? I lived throught the NF years and it was horrendous, they were an institutionally racist organisation who would openly use Nazi salutes in the streets and attack asian and black communities wholesale, particularly at concerts. Read about Southall is you want an insight to those times. They were Neo-Nazi's who wanted an exclusively white Britain. The reason the speech used is seen as inspirational is because that's the clever tactics they used, playing on people's misguided sense of patriotism and preying on people's fears and ignorance. Jeez, asking if the NF were wrong is like asking if the KKK were misunderstood.

Do you consider Southall a success of multiculturalism or a failure of it?

reply

Yes, of course they were wrong.
