I agree wholeheartedly with that.

Do you think the Left is stronger in Britain than in France ? Or are you
specifically talking about the far Left ?
But it is interesting to hear of fascism being

As far as I am aware, you can entertain fascist ideas in Holland. That is a
democratic right. However, there are severe legal strictures on public
behaviour which has a racist or fascist connotation.
In solidarity
