A village expecting a scooter and music festival found itself hosting an 800-strong Nazi rally .
“We are conducting a thorough investigation into a complaint about racist chanting.”
Oh good. I’m happy the police are right on top of this. No comment about investigating property damage or drunks threatening ppl.
Oh goodness no. But we’ll investigate race chants.
Somerset village ‘invaded’ by Nazis
A village expecting a scooter and music festival found itself hosting an 800-strong Nazi rally instead.

White supremacists from Britain, Germany and Eastern Europe arrived in Redhill, Somerset, draped in swastika flags.
The skinheads, wearing leather jackets and army boots, were heard by residents chanting: “Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil.”
Locals claimed they urinated over cars and threatened anyone who dared intervene.
Mother of two Sarah Gooding - who filmed the rally - said her family had had to flee their cottage in fear.
Sarah, 39, said: “It was like a miniature Nuremberg rally. I ran inside, burst into tears and said to my husband, ‘We’ve got to go, I don’t feel safe’.
“Our daughters were really, really frightened. They were in tears as we were packing our bag to flee.”
Debbie Johnson, another resident in Redhill, Somerset, said she left her home as drunks took over her garden.
She added: “It was disgraceful behaviour. I was very upset that anyone can hold those views after what’s happened in the past. I found it incredibly distressing and so did my family.”
The Bungalow Inn had provided a two-acre field with a marquee for the weekend-long “scooter and music festival” after being contacted by record company ISD.
Bosses were unaware that ISD bills itself as the world’s “oldest and most dependable White Nationalist Movement CD label” – or that the event marked the 15th anniversary of the death of a cult skinhead band’s frontman.
Pub manager Ian Saunders said: “If I knew that this would happen I would never have allowed it.”
North Somerset Council unwittingly granted a “temporary events notice” allowing live music and the sale of alcohol.
Police received dozens of complaints, but no arrests were made.
Police inspector Steve Date said: “We are conducting a thorough investigation into a complaint about racist chanting.”
ISD records were unavailable for comment.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
