No, the next place it will happen in Europe is the UK.  We've got a virtually 
openly fascist press baying for it every day with no consequences to 
themselves.

Sure, they're not quite the majority - and maybe should the population at 
large (those who don't support them) become aware of just how fascist this 
country is really becoming, maybe we'll see some popular resistance to it.  
But I'm not holding my breath - there are too many distractions and plenty of 
carrots (with accompanying sticks) available for those prepared to look the 
other way.

We're going to need a fucking miracle to avoid it - whoever is "in 
government", it's not going to make a damn bit of difference, because the 
government aren't the ones in charge.

I don't think it's going to happen in quite the same way as in Nazi Germany, 
but I'm sorry to say I think we loom ever closer to it by the day.

Sorry that's an incredibly dark thought - I'd love to be persuaded otherwise, 
because the idea scares the living shit out of me to be quite honest.  :-(

I have met a lot of amazing people who go far the opposite way and always fill 
me with hope for the future, but they are not in the majority, or the ones 
with the loudest voices.  (I count you guys as some of them, though.)


** ON A LIGHTER NOTE... **

Something very exciting (actually, somewhat off the scale) is about to happen 
in the next couple of hours... watch this space, this is not a drill, this is 
for real!  (Seriously!)

No, you are not going to believe what it is - in fact, it's probably going to 
make your day, oh unsuspecting Music Bar friends!  :-)

Are you curious yet?  Get thinking!  But I won't make you wait long, because I 
can't wait long either!  ;-)
