HOPE not hate
Celebrating modern Britain

I got a BNP leaflet through my door this morning. It's the one with the Italian couple posing as British pensioners "pushed to the back of the queue behind bogus asylum seekers". It was delivered by a postman along with Green Party and a Lib Dem leaflets. The Nazi one was by far the most expensive looking, good to see who the rich are backing. Now, if memory serves, there was some sort of official decision that postal workers have a right to refuse to handle Nazi material. I can only assume, therefore, that our postman is a Nazi sympathiser or that the Post Office management is illegally pressuring its workers to deliver the leaflets. I wonder what the CWU's attitude is to this.

Addendum: the Kirklees Unity website reports that postal workers are being threatened with the sack if they refuse to deliver the Nazi propaganda. They also report that the photograph of construction workers under the slogan "British jobs for British workers" are in fact American.

... and now I learn that the spitfire symbolising the "Battle of Britain 2009" is one flown by a pilot from the Polish Squadron in the Battle of Britain 1940 - British spitfires for Polish pilots.
