The vileness of the BNP
The BNP is wasting no time reminding us why they are so loathsome. Their new MEP, Andrew Brons, has said that Dame Kelly Holmes is not “fully British”.
So let us look at the respective contributions towards Britain by both individuals. First Dame Kelly:
- Won Olympic gold medals for 800 and 1500 metres in 2004
- Served in the British Army for nine years from age 18
- Born in Kent
- Has been a nursing assistant to disabled patients
- BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2004
- Made DBE in 2005
- Last month was made President of Commonwealth Games England
And now Andrew Brons:
- Joined the neo-nazi National Socialist Movement at age of 17
- At age 19 joined the then BNP which merged two years later to become the National Front
- Co-edited the NF journal New Nation with Richard Verrall – a holocaust denier
- In 1983 led a march in Leeds where they shouted slogans including “white power” and “death to Jews”
Not much of a contest is there.
