Crypto-Fascists for wondering if the judiciary should be accountable when they make political decisions?

A little harsh if you ask me...

Red Dwarf! *Parties*

I've always wanted to call something Crypto-Fascist, just in honour of that show. But I can never get the accent right. Seeing as how me dad's from Liverpool I'd manage it, but I can only get it right when trying for something else.

Tony Blair is the archetypal crypto-fascist.

I have said this many times.

Nah: try The Fall And Rise Of Reggie Perrin:

Jimmy, Reggie's brother in law, is setting up a private army - "ready to fight for Britain when the balloon goes up". At Jimmy's bedsit he explains to Reggie exactly the sort of scum they would be fighting against:

Jimmy: ...wreckers of law and order. Communists, Maoists, Trotskyists, neo-Trotskyists, crypto-Trotskyists, union leaders, Communist union leaders, atheists, agnostics, long-haired weirdos, short-haired weirdos, vandals, hooligans, football supporters, namby-pamby probation officers, rapists, papists, papist rapists, foreign surgeons (headshrinkers, who ought to be locked up), Wedgwood Benn, keg bitter, punk rock, glue- sniffers, 'Play For Today', Clive Jenkins, Roy Jenkins, Up Jenkins, up everybody's, Chinese restaurants (why do you think Windsor Castle is ringed with Chinese restaurants?).

Reggie: You realise the sort of people you're going to attract, don't you Jimmy? Thugs, bully-boys, psychopaths, sacked policemen, security guards, sacked security guards, ratialists, Paki-bashers, queer- bashers, Chink-bashers, anybody-bashers, rear Admirals, queer admirals, Vice Admirals, fascists, neo- fascists, crypto-fascists, loyalists, neo-loyalists, crypto-loyalists."

Jimmy: Do you think so?, I thought recruitment might be difficult.

I'd take it quite happily. But I'm not sure if you'd want mine. Over the phone I sound so posh I could give the Queen a run for her money. I sound like a female Hugh Grant.

When I'm not drunk or at home, I sound relatively posh.

Spent too much time in Essex.

I bet the anarcho-fascists could beat up the crypto-fascists.

I wonder who Communazis and the rest of the Socialist Right would side with, though?
