Even the wording of the letter shows a dignity that the BNP can only dream of.

Quality letter.

I was on a stag do recently with a lad who has just returned from a tour in Basra with the Intelligence Corps. He was saying most of the guys he knows thinks the BNP are the scum of the earth.

No surprise really is it. Why is anyone even hinting that the armed forces might be closet BNP fans?

Whats the link? none of those medals are British Campaign Medals...( 30 Years RAF and I have enough of them)

To make your point maybe a picture of Gurkas would have been more appropriate?

The link is local. The photo was taken on Sunday at the Chattri memorial service.

Sorry, but saying "even" the British Legion hate the BNP, does seem to imply your opinion of the British Legion is that you assumed they would support a party like BNP.

I was having a drink with my cousin's son a couple of weeks ago (he's done two tours in Iraq) and he said most of the lads think the Labour Party are the scum of the earth, for taking us into a war on lies costing the lives of 300 of their friends and comrades and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians.

Of course there were those Indians (including Sikhs who fought against us in WW2) in Chandra Bose's Indian Liberation Army. Here's a photograph of them being reviewed by Erwin Rommel in 1942.

Here's another side of the coin. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem reviewing the Muslim SS Handschar Division in 1944!

Same old boring bollocks. Historical cultural and imperial links used, for some reason, to deny the concerns people have over the mass migration we have witnessed over the last decade or so. Its only relevance is showing up how confused the BNP are about British identity, which is fair enough, but it also implies that the concerns the British people have right now about a global phenomenon no-one is geared up for, really exacerbates the problem.

Its the sort of smug 'oh look I know some sikhs were in the army this cancels out all reasonable concerns people have about 21st century immigration", that adds fuel to the fire and drives frustrated people to protest vote at what they see as the intrangience and smart alec-yness of the unaffected.

The response letter describes the Guardian as 'extremist leftist'. The Guardian! Lord only knows what they make of the Socialist Worker...

Blimey, the British Legion being described as 'politically correct'. The British Legion!

The British Legion are right to ask Griffin to stop using their emblem to justify his own cause. However, they indicate that they are above politics but apparently not at the recent memorial for D-Day when veterans booed Gordon Brown.

Whatever their feelings for him are, they should have kept them for a different occasion, not when they are remember those that died. The danger is that it will open the floodgates for other protestors to make their feelings felt at inappropriate times, for example, Remembrance Sunday.
