Racism & fascism - new material (14)
01 December 1997
Think-tank running on empty Andy Beckett. Guardian G2 31.7.97, pp 2-3. This piece considers the Conservative Party "loony"-right and the future of the plethora of think-tanks that proliferated under Thatcher. Includes the thoughts of Tessa Keswick (Centre for Policy Studies) and Madsen Pirie (Adam Smith Institute) who seem lost in admiration of the Blair government and Roger Scruton who is less enamoured of it.
Blood and Tears. Searchlight No. 226 (August) 1997 pp5-7. This piece looks at the demoralisation that has enveloped the far- right music scene following the split in Combat 18. With Sargent, Browning and Cross all jailed the struggle for control of Blood and Honour and the Hammerskins is well under way.
