Nick Griffin just shared a video of Tolerate on twitter

I knew he's an asshole, but I didn't know he's a dumb deaf c*nt, not being able to hear the lyrics such as "If I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot facists". What a w*nker

I'd swear with 80% I saw Nick Griffin at the NT gig in 2012....

Maybe he likes the music rather than the socialism, as do various people who 'just like the music' of bands that have fascists and/or neo-Nazi members.

Agree with this, not everyone relates to the lyrics. Maybe its a reference to whats happening in Germany.

Some publicity for the band. They may sell a few more albums and concert tickets.

Yep, this.
And they may "convert" fascistoid people into those holding more liberal ideas. You know, the process. You like a song, you wanna sing along, you start paying attention to the lyrics - you make a choice:
a) you pick the love for the band and accept their ideas
b) you pick your political ideas and drop the band
c) you don't love the band, but you don't give up on either the band or your political ideas, but as you keep listening, the sound and messages spread to those around you (unless you're strictly on your earphones)

You'd have hoped he might've learned from last time. I can't comprehend how he either doesn't realise or care that using an anti-fascist song in an attempt to promote fascism looks really fucking stupid.

Makes as much sense as McDonalods stopping using that "I'm Loving It" jingle and replace it with Meat Is Murder, should go down a treat. Or Natwest using Natwest-Barclays-Midlands-Lloyds in an advert...

I dunno, yeah it's fair enough, you don't have to agree with someone to like what they create. David Cameron reckons he's a fan of The Jam, not sure how lost on him Eton Rifles is. Still, I think it's a very generous benefit of the doubt you're giving there. Particularly after this. It's Nick Griffin, he's obviously trying to make a point. A crap and nonsensical one completely twisting a song to back him up, but an attempt of a point all the same.
