Have we not been told on numerous occasions that we were over the high tide of European integration? <br /><br />The BNP is largely socialist because national socialism is just that - socialism. Hard for the media and various commentators to grasp, I know, but it is quite straightforward. The trouble comes when the BNP or old-fashioned nasties like the Jobbik are lumped with Wilders's Freedom Party or other organizations that are out to defend certain very liberal values. So, you are correct: Far-Right means absolutely nothing except being in some unspecified fashion against immigration, no matter what kind of immigration and for what reason.Helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-76277235912564441002010-10-17T21:13:22.000+01:002010-10-17T21:13:22.000+01:00Excellent article, thanks.
