BNP are shit
BNP supporters have taken to scrawling the party’s website onto toilet walls, presumably as part of some guerilla-marketing strategy. It has the odd effect of making me think of the BNP every time I take a dump.
Surely, the need to stoop to this rather pathetic level - graffitio on toilet walls next to cottagers’ phone numbers - would make such activists stop and think. Like the throatless smoker who still inhales via his tracheotomy, or the heroin addict who has to inject into his eyeball to get a decent hit, these campaigners seem to lack a certain self-awareness.

Beleive it or not there is a considerable volume of literature on the psycholoical relationship between far right politics and excreta. It’s very freudian and I won’t bore you with the detail, suffice to say at one time it was beleived that turn of the century toliet training practices in eastern europe were responsible for the rise of authoritarian politics in the first half of the 20th C.
