The BNP currently sells a CD entitled ‘The White Cliffs Of Dover’ via its Excalibur merchandising outfit:

Vera Lynn, Glen Miller and others produced the music by which the English-speaking world went to war from 1939 to 1945. Here, recaptured in re-mastered glory, are the songs the soldiers sang from the deserts of North Africa to the beaches of Normandy. An unforgettable trip down memory lane.

Thanks to the Daily Mail, we can take another ‘unforgettable trip down memory lane’ with a look at Nick Griffin’s pre-modernisation views:

Newly uncovered copies of ‘The Rune’, a white supremacist magazine edited by Mr Griffin in the late 1990s, show that far from respecting Britain’s war effort in the 1940s he was a fan of the SS units that committed countless war crimes against the allies.

Mr Griffin published one article stating: ‘The tales of Waffen SS courage and sacrifices are almost limitless.’

And far from being a fan of Vera Lynn, at the time he published articles praising the SS for his fellow neo-Nazis who were ’sick of Vera Lynn’:

With that in mind, let’s remind ourselves of this Griffin speech from 2000:

There’s a difference between selling out your ideas, and selling your ideas. And the British National Party isn’t about selling out its ideas … but we are determined now to sell them. And that means basically to use the saleable words. As I say, freedom, security, identity, democracy. Nobody can criticise them, nobody can come at you and attack you on those ideas. They are saleable.

Perhaps one day, once by being rather more subtle we’ve got ourselves in a position where we control the British broadcasting media, then perhaps one day the British people might change their mind and say, “Yes, every last one must go.” Perhaps they will one day, but if you offer that as your sole aim to start with, you’re gonna get absolutely nowhere. So, instead of talking about racial purity, we talk about identity.
