David Baddiel has apparently called the proto-Thatcherite Freedom Association, created by the McWhirter twins, "a slightly posher version of the BNP". Only "slightly" posher? They should sue. And how many other known National Front donors did the BBC allow on air at all, never mind on children's television?
The Freedom Association was openly funded by apartheid South Africa, as much as anything else about as anti-British ideologically as it is possible to imagine. Just as the sectarian Left that is now a key part of our Political Class should have been made to move to a Communist country in order to see how their views on drug legalisation and the abolition of the age of consent went down there, so this sectarian Right that is now a key part of our Political Class should have been made to move to South Africa or to Pinochet's Chile in order to see how their views on drug legalisation and the abolition of the age of consent went down there, either.
Neither of them ever was, which may be why their views have never changed, and have now very largely been given effect. Roll on electoral reform, and primaries for the candidates to be submitted to the voters under the reformed electoral system.
