about

There’s no doubt that, in recent years, the BNP have attempted to re-brand themselves in order to broaden their public appeal and gain electoral success. And, to some extent, they must have succeeded too, as their vote and credibility has risen.
But behind the thin facade, so many of their key supporters and activists are still the same old boneheads as they’ve always been. A quick look at a few websites can find BNP activists quickly revealing their true colours sharing allegiances with a hardcore of extremist neo-nazi scum.
Their fascist propaganda is aimed at drawing in the disaffected - those who feel that they’ve been tossed onto a scrapheap by the society we live in. By creating stereotyped images of those people of different cultures and painting them as the enemy and the cause of all social ills, they allow those who are vulnerable to this sort of propaganda to feel that they have somebody else to blame for their problems - people who are clearly defined and visible within their own community. Hitler did the same, of course. Immigrants are an easy target - it’s easy to tell fearful people to be afraid of things that look different and that they don’t understand.
With the rising popularity and influence of the far-right in British politics, these are surely worrying times.

lyrics

Election time, and out they come - the “acceptable face” of fascist scum. Old school ties and pinstripe suits - a thin disguise of their nazi roots. A wave of the flag and a patriotic cheer. No talk of violence mentioned here - just subtle propaganda which, like a drug, fuels race hatred in their bonehead thugs. Jackboots and braces - shaved heads and knives. The master racists are no joke when they threaten people’s lives. Nazi skinheads don’t seem to be a good advert for their own philosophy. The “Master Race”? What utter shite - half of them can’t even read or write. Fuelled by the resentment and anger they feel, racist propaganda has a primitive appeal by making scapegoats and trying to show that they can never be the lowest of the low.
