I believe I am making a valid point:

Fascists believe that a nation is an organic community that requires strong leadership, singular collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong.

Allan Hubbard as inalienable property rights that have been usurped by the state. This is the second week of AH in Statutory Management and yet there is no word of justification for this singular and outrageous step. If it transpires that Statutory Management was invoked to take decision making capability away from Allan due to the state's interest in protecting itself from embarrassment due to the Retail Deposit Guarantee (as has been implied); this is, ipso facto, the actions of a fascist state.

If thugs had met Mr Hubbard, in the street and stole the VW ... there would be outrage. Just because the thugs turn up in suits, use the subtle violence of state regulation and promise to act "in the public interest" (whatever that means; and whenever it is, exactly, that they will tell us what it means) - there is no difference in the basic thuggery.

It is darkly appropriate that Adam Feeley, in his promotional picture for the SFO, is posting with a dark shadow cast across the SFO logo. Chilling.

Leave Allan Hubbard Alone!
