BNP exploit Scots heroes to gain votes
During his visit to Scotland Nick Griffin is reported to have said: “It’s politically beneficial for us to be seen with these organisations. We are also involved in other veteran organisations such as Help For Heroes and Soldiers Off The Street. It definitely doesn’t hurt the party to be connected to these groups.”
In response to the BNP leader Clive Fairweather, a former SAS Deputy Commander, said: “It’s distasteful that a racist organisation is targeting veterans. The army is the exact opposite of racists, I would argue it was one of the least racist organisations going. Our soldiers live, fight and work in foreign lands often side by side with foreigners. Veterans charities should not accept funds from any political parties, from the SNP to the BNP.”
Churchill biopic the BNP won’t like: Into the Storm reviewed
A new Churchill film produced by HBO makes, according to the Guardian, ”uncomfortable viewing for any far-right nutters in the UK trying to claim Winnie as king of the super-Brits.”
“Into the Storm is a handsome and factually accurate drama which impeccably avoids the risk of handing over Churchill to either the British or American far right. This DVD is as unlikely to make the shelves at Nick Griffin’s heavily guarded farmhouse as is his Question Time humiliation.”
