BNP uses Polish Spitfire in anti-immigration poster

[baldguy]

BNP bosses have been ridiculed for using a Polish Spitfire to front a campaign calling for Eastern European immigrants to be barred from Britain.



The party's 2009 European Elections poster shows a nostalgic picture of a Second World War fighter plane under the slogan "Battle for Britain".

But RAF history experts have identified the iconic Romeo Foxtrot Delta Plane as belonging not to Britons but to a group of Polish pilots instead.

The plane was actually flown by the celebrated 303 Squadron of the RAF – made up of Polish airmen rescued from France shortly before Nazi occupation.

BNP party chiefs defended their use of the image and insisted they knew all about the background.

However, John Hemming, MP for Yardley, Birmingham, blasted the far right party for using the image to front a campaign which includes stemming immigration from Poland.

1. Knew about the background my ass

Those bigots think all history starts and ends with an "England prevailed."
