As in BNP and UUP?
Mmmmm! | Nope - it was neither a slip of the tongue, or of a veil. I don't really consider the BNP as British Nationalists, despite the name they give themselves. Or, to put it another way, I respect the fact that there are British Nationalists who are not racist, or violent or militant... much the same way as I respec the fact that there are unionists, nationalists and republicans here who do not believe in violence and are not racist.
How quick we are to jump at that kind of conclusion though. It is well known that certain loyalist organisations have some solid links to the far right, and to these types of organisations. But I am not a loyalist. |
