A one-way ticket
• BEING a member, presumably, of the “indigenous working classes” would not save Dorothy Steele (Extremists, Letters May 15) if she voiced democracy for all if the BNP ever were to “continue to expand” and become a national government.
She’d get a one-way ticket to an Isle of Man concentration camp.
There can be only one free election before any BNP victory, unlikely as that may seem now. After that there would be a dictatorship as happened in 1933 in Germany. The Nazis came to power after a free election during the Great Depression. Their opponents were then murdered, or assaulted and consigned to the Dachau concentration camp for political prisoners.
Another depression seems unlikely but the unexpected can happen. The International Monetary Fund said on April 3 that the world is facing the biggest financial shock since the depression – described as its most startling report of modern times. There is also great instability in the vital matters of food and oil.
The BNP has a long history as a fascist party under various names dating back pre-World War II to Sir Oswald Mosley.
As authoritarian Labour has brought in 53 law and order acts and created 3,000 new criminal offences since 1997 using the anti-terrorism excuse, a fascist leader could be better positioned than Hitler to take over.
Advice I’ve read is that Ms Steele should take her toothbrush, etcetera (if she had teeth left) in a suitcase as it is something to sit on. Rucksacks are no use.
