Mob rule in Devon?
Tick tock. Six O'clock and the Green Arrow fighting machine has been refueled and is ready to roll. And it is rolling right down to Devon where a "group" of people have organised a petition calling for the "removal" of the British National Party from a Devon village.
Where would they like them to be removed to? Somalia? Lyme Regis? Death camps? Who can tell. Who are this "group"? Would they be local councillors fearful at having BNP councillors digging into their past performances as councillors? Perhaps uncovering stones revealing them to be maggots that are eating more than their share of Our Country?
By all accounts people living in Broadclyst took to the streets of Exeter, not to protest at the illegal wars that are getting our young servicemen killed and maimed in their hundreds.
No and neither were the unspecified numbers of people protesting at the colonisation of their country.
They were not protesting at the collapse of the NHS as it buckles under the weight of immigrants enriching us with diseases we thought we had all but wiped out decades ago.
Perhaps they were protesting at the betrayal of our youth with their planned destruction of the educations system that removed the rungs of the ladder for our children to climb to a better life.
No. None of the above. They were protesting at the presence of the British National Party in their village and county. Not for them the ballot box where people decide who represents them in local affairs. These people have found a new way for democracy to work. They demand that a BNP councillor, Colin Fribbens be removed from the council. What? In a body bag?
Sometimes I wish the Green Arrow really was a tank so he could roll right over this self appointed "group" and others like them.
