This is another example of how much the BNP is out of date with its misbegotten ideas of good old British imperialist patriotism. Well, Britain no longer rules the waves and this is no longer a land of hope and glory. Will they ever come to terms with these facts? The more militant Protestant Ulsterman also still holds a very anachronistic idea of loyalty dear to his heart ... but it has always been conditional. Today, both North and South look towards the European Union for representation and a federal Ireland looks more realistic as a consequence. The extremists from both sides of what was once a divide need to rethink their positions within Europe and thereby discover reconciliation that way. If the BNP thinks it has gained a foothold in Northern Ireland then it would not be one that is at all permanent. After all, its policy consists exclusively of Muslim-bashing. It has nothing else to offer. I think Northern Ireland has already had a belly-full of religion hatred over the years ... which is, in this case, barely concealed racial hatred. It was T. P. O'Connor who described Mosley as "the greatest friend of Ireland". That was over the Black and Tan outrages.
