OK, I know the poor people in the BNP get a bad name, being linked with Combat-18 and other thuggish scum. I know that the BNP proper is a motivated plitical-only group aiming to do the right things for this country in their own way. I know that they’re not interested in inciting racial hatred or descriminating against anyone who’s a citizen of this fine nation.
So explain the following: This morning, I received one of their leaflets through the door in the leadup to the elections. As an good citizen in a fair and pleasant country would do, I walked round the front to deposit it in the paper recycle bin.
On the way back round, one of my neighbours asked who they were. Reason being, he’d been sat on his doorstep (with his adoreable baby son) and they’d walked past, nodded and said “hi”… then continued on. Everyone else was getting a letter, but not him, which he found strange.
Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that my neighbour’s black. This is, of course, pure conjecture and I am no way insinuating that the people depositing leaflets are in any way a poor man’s KKK squad.
I got a BNP leaflet through the communal flat hallway (btw, I’m Chinese). And given that the address given is in Wales, I’ve kept it for posterity to remind myself that all is not green and good in Wales.
Or maybe we just don’t count!
