Norman Tebbit update

I see that Norman Tebbit is today covering the threat of the BNP and putting the BNP firmly where it belongs, on the left not the right of the political spectrum. I have been saying for many years that the BNP are a left wing organisation but that the BBC and others describe them as right wing as that way they can taint all right wing parties with the stigma of racism.

As Norman Tebbit writes:

"So what about the BNP? The trouble is that it is a national socialist party. Take a look at its 2005 election manifesto. You won’t find much about reducing the power of the state and increasing that of the individual. It has a curiously dated air of the 1960s and 1970s, with talk of controlling the commanding heights of the economy and building barriers to trade. To be kind to the BNP, one might call it a corporatist party. To put it more roughly, one might say that it is a fascist party, a Left-wing authoritarian party. One thing is certain. As a socialist party, the BNP can only be part of the problem, not part of the solution."

And as I have also pointed out before:

"across the world, the greatest butchers have been socialists: Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Hitler – not a free market capitalist, low tax, small government man among them."
