From David Lindsay

• Palestine.
• Things I didn’t know about the 1989 Romanian revolution.
• The British version of Morris Dees’ racial scare tactics. Like the NF before it and the BUF before that, the BNP was always talked up by its sectarian Left opponents, in order to make themselves appear more important than they really were. An actual fascist comeback in western countries would be much more effectively disguised than the BNP. In the US it would look and sound more like Sarah Palin (if the Tea Party were subverted and co-opted for example); as Sinclair Lewis said, wrapped up in the flag, displaying the cross and served with lots of aw-shucks corn syrup.
• The freedom-fighters in Rhodesia. Ian Smith’s side of course. Lindsay disagrees.
• Cut the war budget, yes; merge the armed forces, no. More.
