BNP Use Manics Song In Advert Shocker

From The Quietus:

A video for the British National Party (BNP) that featured ‘If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next’ by the Manic Street Preachers has been withdrawn after complaints from the band’s record company Sony.

The song’s lyrics were written as a tribute to volunteers who joined the International Brigade to fight fascists during the Spanish Civil War – yet the BNP felt it appropriate to play a clip of the track over an article which claimed that the “great multicultural experiment” had resulted in “violence, hatred, fragmentation and despair” in London.

“You can interpret the lyrics any way you want,” said BNP spokesman Simon Darby. Aha.

That is almost as funny as http://www.richardtimney.com/

  • The stats are on the BNP’s side. If you are young then you will not see this.. Like a frog being slowly brought up to the boil.

    50 years. Then either submit, die or partition.
