The Anti Nazi League are a
large group of people dedicated to ridding
Britain, and indeed the world, of
evil Nazi scum. At the moment, their
main task is halting the rise and rise of the
British National Party and their
compatriots-a mammoth task, as it involves quite a lot of
opinion-swaying.
Their trademark is the
ANL arrow, which is designed to point out
Nazis in photos and
newsprint, as an effective, and very
recognisable, tool. According to their website (www.anl.org.uk), "anyone who wants to stop the
Nazis can join, regardless of
political belief, religion or
creed", and use "
propaganda, demonstrations and counter-mobilisations" to counter the Nazi threat*.
The ANL has been
up and running for a long time, and they mostly
succeeded in wiping out the
swastika-worshipping sect in the late 70s. However, with the resurgence in popularity of
far right-wingers (i.e Nazis and fascists) like
Jean-Marie Le Pen, the group took the decision to reform in 1992.
A
counterbalance like this group is needed quite a lot here, as Nazis are gaining
respectability, what with the media turning the asylum seeker issue into a witch hunt, and as of now they are
succeeding in their aims.
More power to them.
*Yes, there is a
Nazi threat in Britain (and a lot of Europe) mostly supported by the
Daily Mail and its ilk. Thanks, Mail!
