The far right party exploits the war in Afghanistan for a propaganda stuntToday's Metro reports that the BNP leader Nick Griffin, who is standing for parliament in Barking, Essex, was criticised for campaigning alongside a man in army uniform at the weekend. The far right, anti-immigration party, which is hoping to pick up votes by playing on people's disquiet at the war in Afghanistan was criticised by a soldiers' charity, ABS, which said there was "no place in the army for racism or politics."
Metro claims not to know whether the man pictured with Griffin is a serving soldier. However I can reveal he is no such thing: his name is Adam Walker, 41, a BNP member and former teacher who faces being struck off by the General Teaching Council for posting racist messages on the internet during a lesson.
On Saturday he was parading in front of news cameras gathered in Barking to cover the BNP's campaign launch. Asked if he was a real soldier, he admitted he wasn't. "I'm wearing this uniform in solidarity with our boys in Afghanistan," Walker said.

ReplyDeleteI take it that doesn't include the Gurkhas and other Non-white fighters who also wear that uniform. The BNP want to keep the Gurkhas out even though they fought like any white soldier
No wonder Griffin looks pleased - he's waving to the Red Indian, the mechanic and the ... er ... who else was in The Village People?
ReplyDeleteadam walker was in the army before he became a teacher.
ReplyDelete"Asked if he was a real soldier, he admitted he wasn't. "I'm wearing this uniform in solidarity with our boys in Afghanistan," Walker said"
ReplyDeleteThat's fucking outrageous. This is similar to that 'Walter Mitty' guy who wore a SAS beret and all those fictional medals at a Rememberance days parade last year. If I was a Squadie I would be pissed at the BNP using some prick in surplus Desert Camo to drum up support.
It's that bastard Mark Walker.
ReplyDeleteIt's scumbag Adam Walker
ReplyDelete'It's that bastard Mark Walker.'
ReplyDeleteNo, it's that other bastard Adam Walker.
'adam walker was in the army before he became a teacher.'
So?
If Walker was in the army before he became a teacher, was he as useless and morally corrupt as a solder as he was when he became a teacher?
ReplyDelete"I'm wearing this uniform in solidarity with our boys in Afghanistan," Walker said.
ReplyDeleteSo, in the ligt of that 'logic', would Walker wear the uniform of a school girl or of anun if he was in solidarity with school children and education cuts, or supporting Catholic nuns and Christianity?
Or is ite bcause he just likes to see himslef as an Action Man, and homo Griffin likes to be seen standing next to big men?
Why's he wearing camouflage in a high street? Is he hoping to blend in with the surroundings?
ReplyDeleteGriffin does love to be surrounded by butch men, doesn't he. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteIs Walker his name or is it a mis-spelling, or both?
ReplyDelete"adam walker was in the army before he became a teacher."
ReplyDeleteI used to be a miner but I don't walk up and down the high street in pit boots and a headlamp.
Its a bloody disgrace that this thick twat Walker wears a British Uniform.
ReplyDeleteHe was only in the Army 12 months and bought himself out.
ReplyDeleteAh now Walker there's another pervert- I'm fairly open minded but a three way with your brother and a female BNP activist is just manky.
ReplyDeleteSo Walkers Mummy had to buy him out of the Army after 1 year.
