The context of left thuggery and intimidation is of course forgotten as it has been suppressed, so it is very useful to have a corrective and reminder here. Grotesquely a couple of primary schools have been named after Peach, which Google throws up.<BR/><BR/>It is safe to say that the public could not name a single 7/7 victim, although the name and face of the unfortunate de Menzes have been planted deep in the popular consciousness by the left as a diversionary tactic. So in that sense it is rather similar.<BR/><BR/>The left's murderous totalitarian instinct is never far from the surface as the comment by the "comedian" Jeremy Hardy illustrates: <BR/><BR/><BR/>"If you just took everyone in the BNP and everyone who votes for them and shot them in the back of the head, there would be a brighter future for us all." <BR/><BR/>One can but hope that the broader public is now in sympathy with the patriots who have been attacked in Berne and in Brussels. We have come a long way from the seventies and the nature of the threat to our nations is surely now clear to those not deluded by left propaganda.alfredthegreat878https://www.blogger.com/profile/05587455416983046580noreply@blogger.com
