On the front page of our local weekly free newspaper the ‘Tribune’ the headline is, “Anger at march on final parade ground”. The piece centres on the comments of the mother’s of two heroes from the Borough who made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan who are quite understandably upset at the idea of Ismak4UK demonstrating with coffins to honour Muslims who they say have been “murdered” by our troops.
With the British National Party having an established presence in the town what sort of journalist does not realise that we might have something to offer on the subject. Maybe one that does not wish to be tagged as “BNP friendly”. In any rate they did not ask for our comment so as the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the British National Party in the Nuneaton Constituency in the forthcoming General Election so I will send it to them. As it is most unlikely to be printed I shall as usual reproduce it here so that it can be seen by anyone who should so wish.
I was morally outraged and disgusted to read that the group Islam4UK intends to organise a march through the village of Wootton Bassett chosen no doubt for its significance as the final parade ground for returning heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of their nation.
It has been widely reported that they intend to carry coffins on their shoulders to commemorate the Muslims who have been, in their words, murdered by British Soldiers in Afghanistan.
I am prepared to respect the right to free speech of even this sickening group but the location has been chosen to heighten the offence caused both to families and friends of the fallen as well as to the United Kingdom as a whole.
The police have confirmed that the march will not be banned and the holders of the highest political office in the British National Party, Nick Griffin MEP, Andrew Brons MEP and GLA member Richard Barnbrook have announced that they will personally block the path of this hateful march. I have to tell you that they will not be alone and as the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the British National Party in Nuneaton I shall be there blocking this sickening spectacle as well.
My intention is sincere as stated. I have every intention of being there on the day.
