   Nationalism in England is being whipped up by the tabloids and 'quality'   
   press like no-one's business.   
      
   'The Sun' (the most widely read UK daily newspaper) encourages people to   
   fly nationalist flags on their vehicles and homes.   
      
   'The Guardian' encourages people to mimic 'dance moves' made by some   
   footballer or other. (How 'intellectual').   
      
   When the England team plays, nationalistic fervour will hit fever pitch.   
      
   Anyone who has studied propaganda will know that where there is 'love   
   week', there is also 'hate week'.   
      
   And this time, it's unlikely to be Diego Maradona handling the ball.   
      
   They don't just want a 'community' of hypnotised TV watchers, eager to   
   pay lots of money for crappy (often harmful) products and clothes   
   bearing adverts.   
      
   They want a 'community' of shit-scared xenophobic supporters of the   
   strong State. In conditions of permanent war.   
      
   It strikes me that the coming weeks might be a very useful time for the   
   'insiders' behind the massacres of 911 and 7/7 to carry out another   
   murderous terror attack.   
      
   Think of the 'public relations' dividend.

   For my discussion of a racist attack that took place at the time of the   
   last 'world cup':   
      
      
      
   Since then, Iraq has been invaded, trains have been blown up in London,   
   and things are much worse.

               give Coca-Cola to your scum, and your best teddy-bear to   
               Oxfam, and expect us to lick your frigid fingers for the   
               rest of your frigid life." (Mick Travis, 'If...', 1968)
