Finally finished 'flat earth news' today and what surprised me most is the notion of astroturf groups, these are basically official sounding bodies that are little more than some forty year old twat in his parents loft surrounded by anneka rice posters blathering on about darkies. Basically you can setup a group, call it "The British council for the resettlement of sambo", put out regular press releases (freely via AP), talk as much bollocks as you like and there's absolutely nothing to stop you, a good example of this is 'christian voice' which is as far as I can tell, is just stephen green, there are no other members (unless you count a single patron) the hate, in particular, use green as a rentaquote whenever they're sticking the boot in to Muslims, purely on the basis of being a gosbhite with an internet connection, green has ended up on question time.
So what I was wondering was - could we set up such a group, I'm not sure if they're registered as charities or if there's a special 'nutter' status for such things, put out loony press releases and see if we can get it into the hate or the express, maybe call ourselves "the council for the abolition of human rights" or something equally as mental.
