The Preston Pals are fighting again. This time against the building of a new Mosque on Watling Street Road, Fulwood.
Resistance fighters against the rise of Islam in their area have taken the proud name of The Preston Pals, the name given to 7th Battalion of the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment which fought and fell on the Somme in July 1916, during the First World War. Brave men fighting and dieing for Their Country, Our Country.
Now all True Brits would say “well done - The original Preston Pals would have been proud of you”.
But as you know we are not all True Brits, some of us are third columnists. Much like the Lancashire Evening Post who scream out in their headline Mosque leaflet abuses war heroes.
As an ex-serviceman and British National Party supporter, as are many others I have spoken to about this matter. We strongly resent the statement put out by Royal British Legion spokesman Patrick Leavey, who said:
"The Preston Pals was an infantry unit, raised in Preston, which was almost annihilated during the First World War.
"Their sacrifice should not be besmirched by people engaged in political campaigning for such an ugly cause.
"We condemn this leaflet, its contents, and those who are disseminating it."
For that statement I award Patrick Leavey a White Feather.
