| Phil. I'm reliably informed that you have a short fuse. Your last posting would seem to bear this theory out. You state that I have implied that the late Tom Reader "held racist views of some kind." I did not say that - you did. All I said was that Tom campaigned for an active member of the National Front to remain a committee member of NITA. That is a statement of fact. You were Tom's election agent in the 1993 Isleworth South by-election. Surely you remember your old NF mate Michael Stoneman telling the press that "We expect him (Tom) to reflect our views." Why would he have said that, Phil? Could you also tell me why, throughout the mid-1990s, both Tom and you (along with other ICG members) came out with a torrent of abuse against the Anti Nazi League when writing letters to the local press? Here's a selection:- "nasty gange of hoodlums" "violent" "anti-democratic" "thoroughly evil" "boot boys" "rentamob" "hypocritical bigots" "despicable" "cowards" "marauding gangs of hooligans" "mob" "bovver boys" "political prostitutes" "the banner waving, wall-painting, brick-throwing, handout-taking, bobby-bashing democrats of the Anti Nazi League." That's pretty strong stuff to throw at an organisation whose main remit was the destruction of your old party. By the way, if you wish to dispute the accuracy of any of these quotes (all of which were made several years after you claim to have turned your back on the NF) then I would be quite happy to post you the offending articles care of the Lampton Road civic centre. Perhaps you could give me examples of you or Tom Reader ever using similarly scathing language against far right organisations ..? |
