  • Oh, and reminds me of when the far-right British National Party website made use of the Manic Street Preachers anti-fascist song If you tolerate this, your children will be next.

    Clues to the Manic Street Preachers’ political leanings are not hard to decipher among their allusive lyrics and public pronouncements.

    Their hymn to the International Brigades - If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next - contains the lines “So if I can shoot rabbits/Then I can shoot fascists”, making quite plain their attitude to Franco and his falangists.

    The Welsh band might have been surprised, then, to find the song on the British National party’s website, playing over clips of an article which, according to the far-right group, reveals the “violence, hatred, fragmentation and despair” wrought on London by the “great multicultural experiment”.
