Austrian Police Bust 'Nazi' Network
Police in Austria have broken up an extreme-right network arresting 10 and discovering a cache of explosives and weapons.
The group is suspected of illegal arms trading, burglaries, illegal prostitution, and other crimes, which police estimate have caused damage of at least 3.5m euros (£2.9m).
Police say they found weapons, explosives, flags with Nazi symbols and neo-Nazi literature in a search of the group's headquarters in the village of Desselbrunn, 120 miles west of Vienna.
Officers are now holding 10 suspects for questioning but had originally detained 24 suspects in the operation.
They estimate the group had at least 200 members in Upper Austria.

I feel it's a fair question. Nothing racial about it. Considering we know the answer.

These far-right types aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Here we go again. Censored by orange. I made a point regarding what the n azi party did in the concentration camps. Historic fact. I wonder amongst orange's moderators if antisemetism is a personal opinion or has tacit consent from management. . Why would orange defend fascism? Can anyone tell me?

Anti-semitism has long been seen as an acceptable form of racism, chiefly by the anti-fascist groups. Definition of irony right there.

What makes me afraid of all this Ultra right-wing raising its ugly head again in Ex Soviet controlled countries. When they do get power wanting to enslave the world there is no creditable opposition.

was Cameron involved in this
Chris Robinson
Yes. We have to stay vigilant against these people.

the right policies would prevent it in the first instance, no eu. limioted foreign capital that inflates housing costs beyond locals take home pay. and no immigration from 3rd world/population dense countries india/china/south america etc unless very very highly skilled engineers, surgeons, etc.

remember austria got suspended from eu a few years back. they dont want the eu. their economyu was brilliant in 1980's when i went there. a house was 40k wages were good, immigration low. fopreign money and labour moved in and ruined it.
