Rey gives Fritz and Boris a comprehensive run-down of the ridiculous backstory of the infamous neo-nazi 'philosopher', David Myatt. We discuss his likely GLADIO connection through Column 88 and paint a tragi-comic portrait of the British post-war neo-nazi scene. Ray waxes philosophical on "thugs who follow an ideology", Combat 18 and recounts the story of Charlie Sargent and notoriously violent Wilf "the Beast" Browing as well as the London Nail Bomber, David Copeland. All roads lead to Myatt!
