Left & right are becoming meaningless terms as they pick 'n' mix from both camps. Surely now the more important distinction is Libertarian vs. Authoritarian. *Mr Weasel pointed out that even this is not clear-cut, remember "British jobs for British workers"?

So Hain has that to blame for the difficulty he faces in holding the BNP to account - a fitting punishment, damn them all... A paucity of original political thinking defines this age.

I was just thinking how much easier it would be for Hain et al. to debate him if they actually had something materially different to offer. True, you’re absolutely right.

Many of us have difficult jobs that aren't nearly as well paid as theirs...

It's so hard to hate on a racist when the only thing wrong with them is the racism! Re: DK's blog, it appears that that particular Google server has gone down. No idea when it might be restored.

Peter Hain should have the courage of his convictions, and confront Griffin on the more odious aspects of BNP policies. Show them for what they are? BTW is the Devils Kitchen blog offline for any particular reason?
