Some ideas for making the bnp unwelcome

I wonder what the Witchfinder Generals on here and other posters think of this song, it's called 'Roots' by Show of Hands' an incredibly popular folk rock band(though you won't hear them on the BBC)



And a minister said his vision of hell
Is three folk singers in a pub near Wells.
Well I’ve got a vision of urban sprawl -
It’s pubs where no one ever sings at all
And everyone stares at a great big screen -
Over-paid soccer stars, prancing teens,
Australian soap, American rap,
Estuary English, baseball caps.

And we learn to be ashamed before we walk
Of the way we look and the way we talk.
Without our stories or our songs
How will we know where we've come from?
I’ve lost St George in the Union Jack -
It’s my flag too and I want it back.

Seed, bud, flower, fruit -
Never gonna grow without their roots.
Branch, stem, shoots - we need roots.

Haul away boys, let them go
Out in the wind and the rain and snow.
We’ve lost more than we’ll ever know
Round the rocky shores of England.

This drivel needs reposting. TL is this really where you see a pro w/c politics coming from? Is this what you think the IWCA is about?
 
None of them are precise really. Some are _easier_ than others, but even "spam" is argued with, and there are constant arguments about RL details particularly if people have revealed them elsewhere.

A new poster suddenly popping up on a BNP or immigration or whatever thread and referring to the BNP is almost always there specifically to promote the BNP, not as part of anything "official" (I imagine) but just as an internet flagwaver. There are various signs, references, "dog-whistle" language, and also there may be details which mods can't explain for general confidentiality reasons. There's no particular point in temp bans in these instances and we prefer not to delete posts if it can be avoided.

Fair enough.
 
of course not, its a seperate issue about culture, in fact it was probably posted on the wrong thread. However, i stand by my criticism of trite simplistic solutions to the rise of the far right, this isn't 1936.

But what about the trite, simplistic lyrics you posted though? :D
