Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Is the Muslim Vote Abandoning Labour? Tue Jul 30, 2024 11:00 | Frank Haviland
Is the 'Muslim vote' set to abandon Labour? With three quarters of British Muslims refusing to believe Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th, it's hard to see how Labour can retain them, says Frank Haviland.

Bridget Phillipson is wrong about the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act she has just torpedoed, says Oxford law academic Dr Julius Grower. It won't increase legal action for universities but will ease it.

Jump To Comment: 2 1Martin Wiese, a high-profile right winger, and three others are charged with being members of a terrorist organisation known as "Kameradschaft Sued" (Southern Comrades).
Prosecutors say the group, led by Wiese, planned to attack a ceremony to lay the foundation stone for a new Jewish centre in Munich in November 9, 2003.
The alleged attack, which police foiled, would have coincided with the 65th anniversary of "Kristallnacht" in 1938, when Nazis attacked Jewish shops and synagogues. It was also the date of Adolf Hitler's failed coup in 1923.
Federal prosecutor Bernd Steudl told the court Wiese's goal was to overthrow Germany's democracy, with the attack just the first stage of his campaign.
As with all german speaking communities, the Swiss are witnessing an increase in far right beliefs, and social organisations.
Spreading through internet chat-rooms often connected to music, or by word of mouth at concerts of a long list of bands on both the skinhead and rock scene, organised hate is finding new fans throughout Europe.
Dominic Bannholzer, who represents the Party of Nationally Orientated Swiss (PNOS), won a surprise election to the council of the commune of Günsberg in northern Switzerland.

Though his party only boasts a little over a 100 members, it is one of a plethora of fellow travelling groups in german speaking Europe, united by recruitment tactics, revisionist historical outlook, use of symbols including celtic crosses, swastikas, and national eagles, music tastes, and an political vision which is xenophobic, anti-European integration, anti-migrant.
There is evidence that all these micro-parties exchange information and certainly mimic each others rhetoric.
For the moment there is no indication that these youthful groups, (Bannholzer is only 19 years of age and as such is one of the youngest councillors in Switzerland) are copying the centralising curve which brought Heider, the leader of the Austrian neo-nazi party into government coalition. Swiss anti-hate groups do not wish to dramatise the election, and are encouraging all Swiss to report incidents of hate crime to the authorities and of parents to take an interest in the music their children are listening to.
As part of a continent wide security operation, a distrbution network of music, T-shirts and WW2 memorabilia (illegal in both France and Germany)
was closed in Catalonia in the last months in a joint operation between the Spanish Gaurdia Civil and Catalan mossos d 'esquadra. A 26 year old has been convicted.
The move out of football club affiliation and into the local music hall of neo-nazi recruitment supported by internet technology ought be monitored but without confrontation at all municipal levels. It belies a certain change in popular culture amongst dissaffected urban youth, and to some suggests a return to the early years of racist gang orientated acitivity.
Both those movements acting on behalf of minorities and the authorities of all european states (union and others) continue to collate and observe.
