Green racism?


Green Racism anyone?

Well the BNP argue that climate change does not exist but migrants cause most of Britain's environmental problems.

In the 1980s the far right National Front, which included the present BNP leader Nick Griffin, had an 'ecological' wing called Greenwave.

In Canada the environment is being used to justify attacks on migrants.

Its worrying that environmental problems are being 'framed' in terms of migration.

Not surprising sadly, here in Britain, tabloid papers are blaming an economic crisis caused by bankers on those on benefits.

When in doubt blame those in a weak position, kick them hard and ignore the real problem.

Interesting article here on racism and 'environmentalism'
