Ahha, I see. Thanks. They sound particularly odious. It's almost worse when
they don't have the courage to parade what they believe and try to dress it
some form of electorally acceptable cloak. Even if that only results in 0.7%
of the vote at general elections, although I see they do better in local
government and regional elections. If they descend from Mosley, then
perhaps they also inherited a relationship with Pound; I read that he
published some of Pound's essays.
