The Goodfellas

I have been up most of the night following the Super Tuesday elections. Bit of an anti-climax because I was obviously supporting Obama (he was the HOPE candidate after all). However during the evening I got a call from an old friend.

Darren Wells was formerly a nazi and one of the main players in Combat 18. He eventually saw the light and for a couple of years worked inside the organisation for Searchlight. During this period he helped stop one planned bombing campaign and played a significant role in helping to prevent further nazi-inspired violence in Oldham in the two weeks after the riots.

Anyway, he rang me to chat about the elections. He too was following the results and he too was backing Obama.

So alongside Robert De Niro and myself, I reckon Darren is truly one of the Goodfellas!
