The British Army and the BNP - a marriage made in Hell

(London, England)

On the same day that it was announced that a list of BNP members has appeared on the internet a group of former British generals published an open letter in the press demanding that the party stop using British military symbols such as Churchill’s face and the Spitfire and declared that the party held values that “are fundamentally at odds with the values of the modern British military, such as tolerance and fairness”.

The British army is known the world over as a fascist organisation which draws its members from the thuggish underbelly of a jingoistic society and uses them to enforce the imperialist policies of the British government, the British crown and the xenophobic, hooligan majority of English people. It is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians this decade alone, as well as the deaths of some of its own members through intolerance and injustice.

It has yet to be demonstrated whether the list of BNP party members is real or a hoax, but it is probably not necessary to have a list to see who is a member or a sympathiser. The English are more than vocal in their support of the British army and the exploits of “our boys” against whichever group of foreigners happens to be this year’s target.

They turn out for military parades for returning soldiers, they tune in to television programmes that exalt and reward modern veterans, they read newspapers that support the army and incite hatred for foreigners and they use the national support as a convenient platform to demonstrate their primitive values.

The rise of the BNP simply underlines and confirms what those on the outside looking in have known for a long time – England is “against Continental totalitarianism” and the BNP is “the party of the British squaddie”.

Anybody in the British army that feels the BNP is distorting the world’s view of the British military is deluded. Anybody in the BNP who would rather we believed they do not support the British army’s slaughter of foreign civilians is deluded too. They are made for each other.
