Gates of Vienna 20 January 2012

An anonymous Gates of Vienna reader in England sent us the following transcript of a conversation in a pub:

The conversation turned to politics, which led eventually to a rather silly looking woman (RSLW) saying that she hated the BNP.

PW: Really, why is that?
RSLW: Because they are horrible, fascist, skinhead brutes.
