PIC: British National Party leaflet includes very unwelcome and ironic Irish reference

Carl Kinsella

Leave us out of it lads, cheers.

Campaigns for local elections in Britain are currently underway, which means the UK is currently under barrage of canvassing that we all endured in February.

Oddly enough though, Ireland’s name has been dragged into it by a party you wouldn’t expect.

The infamously, venomously anti-immigration, anti-integration British National Party are invoking their Irish heritage in order to try persuade people that letting more immigrants in would dilute kids’ appreciation of their British heritage.

The irony that a British woman couldn’t possibly have ‘the roots’ of another culture without immigration seems very lost on the BNP.

The bottom paragraph of this leaflet, which is being spread around Essex, involves sentiments that Irish people won’t take well.

Dara O Briain said what we were all thinking on this one.
