00:00In a library, now you know, we've seen it already that fascists don't like libraries.
00:06Mine was a violent incident in a library where my colleagues and I,
00:10from the National Front and the British National Party, the BNP,
00:14we went to a meeting to exercise our right to free speech and we got into this meeting and

00:25Asian women, and they attacked them, or we attacked them, with hammers, with chairs,
00:29with tables. It hospitalised 17 people. When it was halfway through this assault, this attack,
00:35I looked around the room and I thought, all the reasons I joined the National Front,
00:39about looking after me and my welfare and, you know, my future in society.
00:44I looked at the people I was with who were stamping on the heads of these people
00:48and I realised these people on the floor are the ones who care about me.
00:53These are the ones who have these petitions to keep libraries open, to keep hospitals open,
00:58and these would be the same women who would now be, you know, food banks, another new Tory invention.
01:03And these were the good people and I actually thought we were the good guys standing up for
01:07race and nation and I stood there and thought, you know what, I'm absolute scum. That's what I am,
