Nice new BNP branch in Brighton...

[Stoo82]

There extra posh.

someone else in the thread (stoo82)spelt it like that, and being a bad speller I just copyed them

Sorry about that.

 

[Insel affe]

Sorry about that.

Hay were just talented in other ways my fiend

 

[Brovion]

Nope. It's on St Mary Magdalene Street or St Martins or around there, behind St Martins Church on Lewes Road. Doubt there are a bunch of nazis at that pub considering it's a genuine Irish boozer - does a pretty good drop of Guinness by all accounts and I believe the landlord is also a biker fan.
...

Yeah, why is The Bugle being mentioned in a BNP thread? I'm a regular there and as you say it's a genuine Irish boozer. It's run by an Irish couple, it's popular with the Irish community, it has brilliant music (both live and piped), the beer is kept perfectly and there isn't a plastic leprachaun in sight. If anything it would be an anti-BNP pub, although it isn't political in the slightest as the regulars are more interested in the really important things in life - like drinking and music.

Because someone said it was a far-right pub back in the 70s/80s. I went there several times then and I don't remember it as such.

I've heard good things about The Bugle, I must pop in there again

mass unemployment, negative equity, collapsing businesses, soaring prices, and worst of all a bloody conservative govmt. It's like Thatcher never went away.

Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.

According to Hope not Hate website the BNP are launching their Brighton branch at The Branch Tavern tonight in London Rd. It's like the bloody 80's all over again, Fascists marching on the streets, BNP popping up everywhere (though thankfuly falling ob their arses), mass unemployment, negative equity, collapsing businesses, soaring prices, and worst of all a bloody conservative govmt. It's like Thatcher never went away.

Because labour had nothing to do with the mess we are in then

 

[CHAPPERS]

The Bugle is a f***ing GREAT pub, one of the town's best (if not the best PROPER pub in town) and I'm happy to say I'll soon live just around the corner from there.

Crawley Leisure Centre in 1978 or 1979 rings a bell...

i was in berlin the other week and had an apartment in the nice and leafy prenzlauerberg district.

i noticed however that at a jewsih school on the main street they had to have 24 hour police protection.

always thought berlin to be a very tolerant city but they must have much bigger issues than us!

The other one that sticks in the mind from that era was The Buzzcocks supported by Warsaw (later Joy Division) at the Top Rank. People were walking up to the station with bits of drum kit and cabling afterwards.

very strange. indeed berlin has throughout history been a sanctuary from anti semitism.

We had a recession at the start of the 1990s as well and there weren't riots on the streets then

how old were you in the early 80s ? the recession in the 90s was nothing like as bad as the 80s.

 

[k2bluesky]

I always find it amusing when the right wing has a march its called by some "Fascists on the streets" when the (fascist) left wing do, its "A protest march", both sides have extremes each as bad as the other, who would rather use physical force than the ballot box, just as the IRA and many other fanatics.

Oh, quite the opposite, Labour in many respects did an appalling job. I was commenting more on the state we find ourselves in rather than the cause of it.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

The last time I was in the bugle, it was filled with lots of large, beer swilling men wearing white costumes emblazoned with our national symbol. Rowdy behaviour and plenty of nationalistic songs.













But then it was the 2003 World Cup Final.

That's right. Apart from the Nazi period, Germans have been historically more tolerant of Jews than many countries.

It's worth noting that according to author George Clare, who as an Austrian Jew fled Vienna in the 30s, life in Berlin under the Nazis was more tolerable than life in Vienna where anti-semitism was more deeply ingrained.

It's sad to see the strong anti-semitic elements returning to Germany though - it's definitely on the increase there.
