An 82 year old man, a former refugee from Nazi Germany, was attacked by security staff at the Labour Party conference yesterday, Sept 28th.
Walter Wolfgang had heckled Foreign Secretary Jack Straw whilst he was repeating the lies about the war on Iraq. "That's a lie and you know it" Mr Wolfgang called out.
Security guards, their backs to the podium, scanning the audience for signs of dissent, jumped on the elderly chap, who is not in the best of physical health, and manhandled him
from the hall. When he tried to re-enter the hall, he was stopped by police under section 44 of the Terrorism Act.
Another gentleman who complained about the outrage was himself attacked and removed from the hall.
These scenes are reminiscent of those that took place at Olympia in the 1930s when the fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley addressed his Blackshirt followers. Hecklers were attacked and removed, just as they were at the Labour Party conference. Of course, in the 1930s the Labour Party objected to such an outrage, but now it is they who are showing their true fascist faces they can only mutter half hearted apologies.
Cherie Blair's sister, Lauren suggested to a steward that she might raise the subject of Iraq during Blair's speech. As a result she found herself shadowed by a burly guard. She described the event as "frightening".
It seems the fascists are back.
