I haven’t written anything about the European elections here (vote Green!) until now, but I am now sufficiently annoyed to do so.
Yesterday I received through my door the campaign literature from the BNP.
Among its contents, it says (and I quote):
- The government is already planning to build 5 new cities, each the size of Birmingham, over the next 30 years to house over 5 million new immigrants. [emphasis theirs]
- The asylum flood has helped to make Britain a battleground for foreign conflicts
- Asylum is allowing hundreds of ‘asylum bombers’ to plan their atrocities in Britain
It’s the last one that is the most insidious; the first two are just plain wrong. Note the phrasing of the last one: plan their atrocities in Britain. They’re referring to the fact that apparently those that committed the Madrid bombings had links with migrant communities in North London. But the sentence doesn’t make that clear. They trick the reader into thinking that they’re saying immigrants have come here to plot terrorist attacks to be carried out in Britain, but careful reading shows something a lot more benign.
It’s inflammatory language, but language a clever lawyer can defend in court.
Bastards.
