Getting rid of Nazis... but politely.

Fantastic experience this afternoon. A couple of my friends and their baby are moving this week, so the other people in their house threw a barbecue for them. It was cool... beer, nice food, gorgeous weather...
Then a guy turned up (a friend of one of the other people in the house). And as he went to (as you do) get some barbecue food, the guy who'd barbecued it all said, politely but firmly:
"I'd rather not, actually. No. Really. I'd rather not. Because you're a fucking Nazi. I've met you once before, and you were wearing an SS armband and a T-shirt saying 'NF Skins'. So I don't really want you in my house or garden." (or words to that effect). The guy left.

The guy who'd kicked him out then turned to the guy whose friend he was (at which point I was thinking "well, that was fucking cool, but I think some kind of really awkward social situation is in the offing, and not knowing either of these people, I should probably be leaving about now") and said "sorry, I didn't want to make a scene, but there's some lines I'm just not gonna cross". To which the Nazi's friend guy (who, I feel I should point out, was a very, very lovely man) replied "I've tried to tell him not to be such a prick... I think more people should give him shit about it [I'm paraphrasing here] or he'll never learn."
Thus- awkward social situation avoided. Nazi ejected.

It was all very civilised. I think maybe I'm getting old... (joke. it was a lovely day.)

nah! the really civilised thing to do would be to discuss the issue over a cup of tea. or both roll up their sleeves and duke it out on the lawn.

good on your friend for throwing him out. i'm surprised the facist left without trouble, though - whenever i've stood up against these types i tend to get threatened.

Reminds me of a joke I just heard.

How many nazis does it take to wallpaper a bathroom?

One, if you slice them up really finely.

You should've socked him. Socked him but good.

I once tried to eject someone from a party I was at (I have no idea what I was doing there, it was pretty much the end of a loooong weekend) on the basis that he was mouthing fascist apologia. Only when everyone looked at me as if I was completely mad did it occur to me to wonder whether I was the only non-fascist present.

Wrong house, wrong street, wrong party, you see.

They threw me over a wall.

Still and all, it was bloody funny, looking back.

They named a disease after it, y'know.
