A predictable showing of non-nazi artists have united in condemning the rowdy gathering of drunk Skrewdriver fans in Redhill, Somerset last week.
Love Music Hate Racism drafted a letter to condemn the party to honour dead ex-Skrewdriver man, Ian 'Massive Racist' Donaldson and it was signed by Billy Bragg, numerous ex-Libertines, Roll Deep, Get Cape. Wet Self. Cry, Akala and Late of The Pier.
My only worry is that what with all this controversy, everyone will suddenly rush out and buy Skrewdriver albums.
You know what people are like. (Stupid, that's what.)
Love Music Hate Racism (which shortsightedly precludes the appreciation of racist music, I must point that out to them) said:
"Rallies like the one that took place at the weekend stand for the ugly politics of racial violence and ultimately the politics of Hitler's holocaust and a desire for an all-white Britain. Events like this have no place in Britain."
While it would be nasty to argue with the sentiment, they clearly do have a place. Last week it was Redhill. Next week - who knows? Maybe your back yard!
Trust no one.
