When democracy fails...Allowing the likes of the National Front to exercise their 'democratic' right to march sort of misses the point that if these racists and fascists ever got a whiff of power 'democracy' itself would be under threat!

The only silver lining to this particularly nasty cloud is that when these thugs marched last year they were given short shrift by both a larger counter demonstration of trade unionists organised by the Northern TUC, and ordinary shoppers on the streets of Newcastle!

Trades Union Congress - NF march a recipe for disaster
