Very true, and that's also how a reactionary Labour government in the UK has
persuaded people of this. However, that has led to a resurgence in support
for the far-right British National Party (though on the other hand the far
left have had a bit of a new honeymoon due to their organisation of the Stop
the War movement). Same happened in the 1970s - it was under a Labour
government that we saw the far-right National Front's popularity rise. This
worries me deeply.

Solidarity,
Ian
