MSP Jim Tolson, MP Willie Rennie and the BNP

The only wreaths I want when it is my time to go are BNP ones

There I was, just researching into the continuing failings of the Social Services and the NSPCC in protecting innocent children from people who should have have been sterilised at birth but instead prefer to play at politics - when Beep.

Off goes my search engine as another attack is launched at the British National Party. Checking it, I see that Battle for Britain has already written about it and provided supporting evidence. Wise move. But reading it again I can understand why Battler was outraged and just have to follow behind.

This time it was two real slime bags having a pop at the British National Party for having the temerity to laying an "unofficial wreath" at the Dunfermline Abbey's commemorative plinth to remember those who had fought and died for Our Island Nation.

The first piece of slime is MSP Jim Tolson who vomited out;
“This is an insult to the people that laid down their lives for the freedom these racist bigots want to use to publicise their views.

“All decent-minded people reject the BNP’s views.”
Not to be outdone by the MSP, the not so Liberal, Willie Rennie, MP for Dunfermline gobbed off with:
“They’re horrendous. I just hope they listen to people’s opposition, reflect and decide not to take part ever again.

“I find them a repugnant party that shouldn’t have a place in British politics.”
Now as an ex-serviceman, with three other brothers who all served in the armed forces and wear our decorations with pride on Remembrance Day, I am extremely offended at the words of these two less then men.

We have fought for Our Country, as did our father who landed on Sword Beach during the Normandy landings. He took a burst of machine gun fire for his love of freedom and was Mentioned in Dispatches. It is only thanks to the brave actions of one his comrades that Green Arrow even exists to write this post.

So when I read disgusting ignorant remarks by our so called representatives, I do get angry. All they do is send Our Sons and Daughters to fight and die in illegal wars that only benefit Foreign Countries. They do not fight themselves.

Willie Rennie, whose name is now locked into my memory, should spend more time trying to end the war and become a Friend to Our Country, rather than being a Liberal Democrat Friend of Israel. Then again all those expense paid trips to the promised land must be nice and some consolation when the Coffins of Our Children are flown home, covered by The Flag, Our Flag, that both those less than honorable gentlemen despise.

And whose red hand is found imprinted on the article, none other than the state funded Searchlight/SWP/UAF.
Editor Gerry Cable said: “It’s totally hypocritical that people who peddle the ideas of Hitler’s Third Reich should be anywhere near a war memorial.
The man is a paid, bloody liar and the blood of Our Servicemen is on his hands also.

The British National Party has thousands of ex-servicemen as members and hundreds of thousands ex-servicemen as supporters. These men and women have already proven that they are prepared to fight for their country, Our Country and are quite prepared to fight for it again.

However, Royal British Legion Vice-president, Tom Fraser said: “No approach was made to us by the BNP but I doubt we could really turn anyone away. “As long as nobody desecrates or makes a protest we can’t really comment. As far as I’m concerned we genuinely welcome anyone who wants to pay their respects and lay a wreath if they wish.

Well said Sir. I and countless others salute your brave stand against the Stalinsts.

As usual the last words go to the patriotic British National Party. BNP Scotland leader Gary Raikes said wreath laying was within the party members’ rights.

“We’ve been laying wreaths across the country and we’ll continue to do so to pay respect to the fallen.


“Many of the members and people that laid wreaths in places like Dunfermline are ex-servicemen or their families.


“We never contacted anyone about this and we didn’t do it for political gain but the MP has publicised it.”


Well said Gary. Proud of you. The BNP does things like this because it truly cares, because they are made up of real people, unlike the professional politicians who only use other peoples pride and grief for their own political ends.

Good Luck to you and the other members of BNP Scotland.

The Man who can't be arsed to show his face

by johnofgwent

I was going to leave remembrance day postings to GA, but something I heard on the six o clock news made me change my mind. But first, just to prove that some people do bother, here's a couple of shots from my mobile phone earlier this morning.


These were taken in the main street of a small village up the road from where I live. The service of remembrance in the village church has ended and a small band form up at the head of a procession, which, ten minutes after I took these, will lead the few veterans of conflict that live locally, plus some local serving men and women, and a selction of the great and the good, and the village bobby, on a short march, just a couple of hundred yards really, to the village hall. The column of marchers will be swelled by the local Scout, Guide, Cub and Brownie packs bringing up the rear, folowed by the congregation who were, as I took these pictures, just about to walk up the path to the church gate.

It isn't much of a parade really, because there's a bigger one in the town that jokingly calls itself a city a few miles away, and a bigger one again in Cardiff. But the fact remains that the people of this area felt it mattered that they came here and stood, in the rain on a cold November morning, and watched those who walked, or marched, those few hundred yards up the road.

I see from the coverage on the BBC News website that even Rhodri Morgan, who made a name for himself by NOT going to Normandy for the 60th Anniversary of the D Day Landings, choosing instead to wander off for a nice warm conferenace about golfing facilities in the principality he thinks he still rules, had to good sense today to try and make pennance for that previous act by standing in the cold and the rain in Cardiff's Cathays Park.

But at the main remembrance event in the United Kingdom's Capital City, where the Queen and the "major" royals assembled to respect the men and women who died for them, there were two faces missing. One has reasonable excuse; he is on active service with his unit, and one can only wonder what thoughts went through his grandmother's mind as she laid the wreath at the London Cenotaph.

But the other missing face was this chap :-


Looking pleased with himself after causing the death of nearly three hundred of our boys and girls in his latest war alone, but can't be arsed to attend the remembrance service to honour them.

According to the BBC News at 6pm today it is a long standing tradition that every surviving British Prime Minister attend the commemoration at the Cenotaph on the closest Sunday to Armistice Day. But tradition means little to this liar and traitor to our country. He is too busy in his new job as paid lackey of the US President to jump on a plane and come back here to face the relatives of the 231 people he sent to their deaths in conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq . By the way, that figure doesn't include the other 67 who went out there on this man's command, and came home in a coffin as a result of accident, or illness.

You can check out the whole sorry story list of the fallen in Blair's illegal military adventures here and if any of you are likely to bump into this chap in future, please do have a look so you can remind him.


Richard Barnbrook BNP earning his keep

When you watch the video you will understand

In the past, I would spend Remembrance Sundays, first at the Wreath Laying and then with my father and brothers in the bar of the local British Legion, drinking with other ex servicemen and their families.

We would pool our money in order to outbid the entire club in the auction for the biggest bunch of flowers, that we could then take home to our mother who would be preparing Sunday Lunch. Someone else's mother will hopefully receive this years bouquet.

This year is different, my father has now gone on, along with one of my brothers to the Big Club in the sky and my remaining brothers are in different parts of the Country at this moment in time and I will be going along with a couple of BNP kinsmen to the Cenotaph in the area where I now live.

But before I go get ready and try and find my one lonely medal, a couple of links to some sites that I think you should bookmark.

First there is the BNP Chronicle, which I found the other day. What an excellent idea. The guy who started it, spotted a "gap in the market" and has filled it. He posts only articles concerning the BNP and without comments. Excellent addition to Hazel Blears blogging nightmare. Well done that man.

Next we have a link to a rather good video clip, of how Richard Barnbrook has earned his seat and his salt and saved the ratepayers of London some money.
Mayor Boris Johnson bowed to pressure from Richard Barnbrook’s research staff, who take a well-earned and amusing break from office routine at the start of this clip.

The first part of the eight minute video is not my idea of fun but if it is what turns Richard on, then who am I to argue. Besides it gives me a chance to use the heading image from the Right Side cartoons I once used to create. If my arm is twisted I can always start doing them again!

So please, if you can make the time, try and go visit your local Cenotaph today and have a minutes silence for those who fought and died for us. Afterwards, perhaps when in your local pub, also have a think about those who fight for you now and what you can do to help them.
