Polish Spitfire shoots down BNP

oh what a bunch of

halfwits

Got to ask..

Did the Polish pilots get paid less than the English pilots and are the BNP opposed to that too?

I for one

Don't believe they had the slightest clue it was a Polish squadron, the Spitfire is so iconicly "English" they just grabbed an image and went with it.

Another BNP classic

This is typical of the lack of thought that goes into everything the BNP does.

Perhaps it was supposed to illustrate how the Poles were enemies of the fascists and therefore likely to be enemies of the BNP as well. Oh no, how terrible.

However this is still topped by my favourite fascist shoots self in foot moment which was when David Irving, famous holocaust denier, inadvertantly addressed the judge in his libel trial (he was the plaintiff) as "Mein führer".

@ "I hate to say it but, the BNP does have a point"

Point or not, I will not stand by and watch a racist organisation become a viable political entity, and there are millions more like me.

Poland and Britain

At the risk of starting something...

Whatever your views about economic migration, Britain and Poland have a special connection that needs saying. Not only did Polish pilots fly for the RAF during WWII but Polish scientists provided the first analysis of the German Enigma code machine and passed this on to the Bletchley Park code breakers to give them a head start on the code breaking. A memorial to the Polish code breakers is at Bletchley, a small thing certainly but important to those of who know.

After the war Poland was badly treated by the carve-up of Europe by the Allied Powers and ended up part of the Soviet block, Many Poles feel this a betrayal on our part and I can't say I blame them.

Many Poles settled in this country after the war and I am pleased to say I know some of them,

I am proud of our links to the Polish people and the fact that we stood together against facism then and now.

Not at all anonymously!

They like St George and his flag a lot as well

You know, the guy who was probably Turkish and who, likely, never set foot in England.

@Anonymous Coward

>The threat from terrorism has not gone away either

Yes I am really scared of the possibility of Polish or Vietnamese terrorists

Incidentally I knew there were no Polish forces at the Victory Parade but never realised some were invited but turned it down!

Hahaha!

Morons.

Intentional?

Intentional or not (and I really suspect not) it makes them look very stupid and if anything should engender positive feelings towards the Polish who helped us defend our shores in the dark days of the BoB!

And here's the original image they nicked for their poster (makes a nice wallpaper):

"The Poles were fighting for a free Poland, not us. Get it? What they got was the Jewish Bolshevik NKVD murdering their best in the Katyn Forest. The moral of the story is, " Allow your country to be taken over by alien races, at your peril.""

This is a pisstake, right?

@Morons

if you've half a mind to join the BNP. Don't worry, that's all you need

@Anonymous Coward 13:18

So, I take it that you will be opposing both Labour and Tory at the next election?

Not to mention the various local nationalist parties in all of the provinces?

I'm afraid I don't believe either side regarding this poster, or pretty much any political issue at the moment, but generally speaking banning things doesn't help, BNP included.

@Fluffykins

Actually, they prefer the Union Jack. It's the British National Party, not the English National Party.

In case it matters, he is also the guy who was probably fictional in the first place too.

SIgh.

The BNP just don't get it.

If a Polish person is beating you to a job that reflects more on you than the Polish people. You have the advantage of living in this culture and with this language so instantly have a head start over any immigrant. If you then fail to get the job then lol @ you because you are a failure being unable to do better in an interview than someone you have an inherent advantage over.

What's more, the Polish seem a bloody hard working bunch so to attack them is laughable when you look at the trash we get in England by way of English cowboy plumbers and so on. Because they are so hard working they actually boost our economy more than a lot of native British/English workers.

If the BNP had a campaign to kick lazy people out the country then great, unfortunately that'd no doubt backfire and end up with half of them being kicked out themselves. Focussing on people because of their country of origin even though they have a better work ethic than many native workers is laughable though.

Of course, the Polish are just a small subset of immigrants, we often hear about the Pakistanis amongst which there is a rather sizeable group with strong anti-British sentiment but even here we should be focussing on dealing with them not based on race, but simply because that particular troublesome subset of Pakistanis are a bunch of idiotic dicks. The rest that work hard and treat others with respect should be more than welcome to stay.

Ever been to Poland?

Having Polish relatives in-law, I can vouch for the fact that Poland is certainly on par, if not ahead of Britain in terms of living standards. Since escaping the clutches of the Soviet Union, Poland has leaped-frog beyond recognition and has an economy and society based on the British model but that isn't saddled by debt, and a population that is kind, helpful, generous and honest. English is widely spoken.

Northern Poland looks like a cross between Britain and Swtzerland, still full of forests and lakes where daily life is safe and friendly. The thriving streets are as familiar as any British city/town except that they are clean and free of hoodies and drunks. And best of all, the trains run on time and do not resemble cattle-trucks.

I for one would welcome my Polish overlords (you could say I already have one) and would move over there without hesitation. The downside? The weather. -20 and lower in the winter is really quite unpleasant, which is, I reckon why the Poles are queueing up to come to Britain!

@AC 12:56

"current immigration levels are far too high"

which has sod all to do with most of the Polish in this country. Migrant workers =/= immigrants. And where I live, recession or no, most of the local chavs turn their noses up at the jobs the Polish end up getting. All other things being equal, a local applicant has a better chance than a Polish applicant, simply because you don't have to hone up their language skills. Yet many jobs are taken by Polish. What does that tell you? That no quality local applicants exist.

The Polish come over here when they're young, pay taxes, rent houses, spend money in our shops and bars, and bugger off home when they get older, meaning they don't cost the NHS much, if any, money. Seems like a good deal to me

20UKP per DAY

Polish builders earn 20UKP per day in this country. At least those who did work for a bunch

of landlords in High Wycombe were getting this rate.

My hubs recently took on a fixed fee garden renovation job and ended up getting 65UKP for 4

days work. I have told him he is not doing that again - by the time he pays for food, diesel etc he risked making a loss.

So, there is work out there for the brits but only if they are prepared to work for less than 20/day.

Likewise the hotel in the thames valley area are hiring cleaners - at a fixed rate per room.

You end up again getting less than 10UKP for an 8 to 10 hour shift - with 3UKP coming off

for travel expenses.

@Steve - jobs

Steve:"The membership of the BNP are idiots, that is why they cant get jobs"

You should worry about the ones that did manage to get jobs, in the police, in government, in any position they can grab all that data our authoritarian government is determined to grab from us. They aren't all bumbling fools.

One of the most compelling arguments against the Orwellian world labour are building is who might get access. A timely reminder that its not just the nightmare of thugs like the BNP achieving power sometime in the future to worry about, its also their existing infestation of positions with the power to abuse.

BNP & Poles

as an ardent monitor of the BNP activities I can also disclose that, on more than one occassion I have witnessed (all be it covertly, disguised as a bull dog) senior BNP members attending Polish oriented entertainment in the form of POLE DANCING.

Aparrently, during a recent visit to his favourite 'watering hole' the aptly named Vladimir & Firkin a senior BNP official noted a tatoo on the inner thigh of his favourite dancer - Natasha Koplenskinoff. The tatoo read 'slippery ven vet', which as any fluent Polish speaker will tell you roughly translates into; God bless the motherland, Warsaw general hospital and the Polish deli on Oldham out-door market.

When challenged the official stated 'its not that we are against Polish people persay it's just that, well....you know - hey look at that really interesting thing over there!'

Anorak time

The Spitfire in the photo is still flying and is operated by the Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight. It flew in the front line operations in the war and destroyed a German bomber. Later in its life it was involved in a famous incident when it accidentally took off with a ground crew member sitting on the tail - she hung on and was unharmed.

I'm very pleased that the plane has been preserved in Polish colours.

RE: the Muslim nation comments

Are you lot for real?

Anyone who thinks Britain is even slightly in danger of turning into a Muslim* nation really needs to get out more.

Also, regarding the comment:

"Point or not, I will not stand by and watch a racist organisation become a viable political entity, and there are millions more like me."

I don't see how this can be reasonably interpreted as an intention to ban the BNP or remove their democratic rights. The best way to combat the BNP is to raise awareness of exactly what they stand for so they have less chance to fool the gullible and then vote against them whenever they stand at elections.

*What would be the problem if Britain was turned into a Muslim nation anyway?

perhaps

Its a coincidence but the those Telegraph quotes "most effective Polish squadron during the Second World War" and "because no other Polish units were invited" are the exact phrases that can be found on the wikipedia entry for No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron.

there! an IT angle! Huzzah and Tally-ho

Talking of idiots...

Look at all the poor spelling in the posts slagging the BNP.

The mugs have also swallowed the BBC/ dead tree press line that they are "right wing".

They are in fact national socialists.

Sheeple.
