Anger as BNP gives speech to kids of 10

A Euro Mp from the racist BNP has given a speech to Sea Cadets - sparking outrage among parents.

Former National Front chairman Andrew Brons - who sits with BNP chief Nick Griffin in the European parliament - was guest of honour at a prize-giving ceremony. Horrified staff and guests watched as Brons shook hands with the cadets - some as young as 10 - and gave the main speech of the evening.

Brons, 63, steered clear of the BNP's more extreme themes but told his impressionable audience in Doncaster, S Yorks: "Preparing from one's youth and even one's childhood to be equipped mentally, physically and by training to protect one's country is about as serious as one can get."

The BNP leadership quickly seized the opportunity to hijack the event - publishing an article about Brons' speech on the party's website. One member said: "Another example of how the party, and the ideas attached to it, is slowly but steadily becoming more mainstream."

Sea Cadets bosses have launched an investigation after condemning Brons' appearance. Brons said: "There were no political messages."

clown jefferson slated the troops some years earlier in the same paper stating how he does not support them as it was their choice to fight.

What, by becoming a college lecturer in Harrogate? Is that where an invading force is likely to land? We shall fight them on the beaches, on the landing grounds and in the canteen if it's not shut after lunch. Brave man.

What i want to know is which bright spark in the doncaster sea cadets thought it was a good idea to invite this person? He may be an elected politician, but he's also a racist with a conviction fo using insulting words likely to cause a breach a peace and a long history of involvement in far-right groups. Has the water in doncaster harbour addled their brains??

It's a few months old but the EDL leadership were caught out using the numbers 88 (Adolf Hitler) on their Facebook page.
