Beware – there’s nothing British about exploiting our Armed Services

BNP email

Another tasteless attempt by the BNP to exploit the warm feelings the British public has towards our Armed Forces arrived in my in-box.

This innocent-looking email purports to be a disinterested appeal for support for a wounded British soldier. But, beware.

  • It claims to be a personal plea but it is not signed.
  • It claims to be non-political, but the web-version of the email is on the BNP website and the return address is the BNP HQ.
  • It claims to be on behalf of Fusilier Tom James, but he is not quoted, nor is anyone related to him.

It smacks of the BNP. Their clumsy attempts to associate themselves with the heroism of Britain’s armed forces are deeply resented by our soldiers who fight for the British values Nick Griffin seeks to destroy: fairness, tolerance and looking out for the little guy.

Give it a rest, Nick.

    So the BNP want you to send him a card, whereas the Labour government sent him to near death.
    A young man, in the prime of his life, appallingly injured.

    Which sort of “Sent” do you prefer?
    We already know the answer to that question as the next Conservative government seem to want to get us into more wars, not get us out of the unwinnable mess we are in.

      Well as Maurice is a “Friend of Israel” he would work towards there not being any such war!

      Israel has murdered 2 British observers/film-makers (Hurndall & Miller) and a top British UN organiser (Iain Hook) in the Occupied Territories since 2000. Further visitors were forced to sign a disclaimer before being allowed into the concentration camps. Hamas has never treated foreigners this way.

      Israeli terrorists murdered around 700 British peace-keeping soldiers before 1948 (many, many times more than the number killed by Arabs) and Israel had another bonanza celebration of the 60th anniversary of the King David Hotel bombing (91 killed) a few years ago. No Palestinian has ever attempted anything like that.

      So the real question should be “In a war between Israel and Hamas who would you support”? Choose your words carefully.

        British soldiers’ lives are one of the most valuable assets this nation has, and should only be risked in conflicts in which British interests are directly affected.

        This simple and logical core belief is paramount to the British National Party’s defence policy, which demands self-sufficiency for our island nation in all aspects.

        As such, the BNP is committed to withdrawing from the illegal and immoral wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the prosecution for war crimes of all Westminster officials who deliberately tricked this nation into those conflicts which have cost billions and at least 300 British lives.

        The people to be prosecuted for war crimes will include the leaders of the parliamentary political parties who supported the war — Labour’s Blair and Brown, the Tory’s Hague, Duncan Smith, Howard and Cameron — and all officials who conspired to prepare the pack of lies which provided the “justification” for the invasion of Iraq.

        A BNP government will never commit British troops to any conflict which does not directly affect British interests — ever.

        Britain can only be safe if it is able to defend itself without being dependent on any other country. Britain therefore needs to have a credible and independent defence against all threats — and the ability to use this wisely.

        Successive cuts in defence spending have left Britain’s armed forces perilously weak. We will boost Britain’s armed forces to ensure that they are able to deal with any emergency, and defend our homeland and our independence.

        The BNP’s defence policy is to:

        - Strengthen our conventional forces;

        - Retain a genuinely independent nuclear deterrent and produce all our weaponry in Britain;

        - Only commit British forces when British national interests are at stake;

        - Preserve and restore our historic County Regiments;

        - Bring our troops back from Germany and withdraw from NATO, since political developments make both commitments obsolete;

        - Close all foreign military bases on British soil;

        - Refuse to risk British lives in meddling ‘peacekeeping’ missions in parts of the world where no British interests are at stake;

        - Restore national service for our young with the option of civil or military service.

        The time has come for change.
