BNP Candidates Nazi Shame

A BRITISH National Party activist who claims he is a respectable businessman is really a Nazi fanatic who dresses in German uniform and flies a swastika flag.
A BRITISH National Party activist who claims he is a respectable businessman is really a Nazi fanatic who dresses in German uniform and flies a swastika flag.
Window firm boss Karl Newman, 47, a candidate for the far-right BNP in Thursday's local elections, denies he is a racist or Nazi sympathiser in campaign leaflets.
But, in fact, he dresses in World War Two Wehrmacht uniforms and has a sick fascination with Hitler.
He has spent years restoring two wartime troop carriers built by Jewish concentration camp labour.
One has a giant swastika on the bonnet and he flies another of the Nazi flags from the back. Newman even takes out six-year-old son William in the vehicle at weekends.
Pictures on his website show him in Nazi uniform. In one a cardboard cut-out of Hitler is driving one of the vehicles, called Kubelwagens.
Confronted by the Sunday Mirror, he said: "I am aware they were built by slave labour - but I can't do anything about that."
Newman, standing in Greenlands ward of Redditch Council in the West Midlands, added: "OK - so the BNP is only for white people, but that does not mean I am a racist." Claiming to be a Christian, he said his Nazi obsession was "just fun".
Labour councillor Mark Shurmer said: "These pictures are disgusting."

Don't be fooled by the nazi trolls, folks. It's all part of their "covert tactics" of the white supremacist loser lobby.
Agent provocateuring is the name of the game, when the price is right.
It wouldn't surprise me if "Anti-BNP" is Watmough himself, (as is the comments which follow), trying to justify the hate-site Redwatch.
BEWARE THE DEVIOUS, DECEITFUL NAZI TROLLS..................... THEY DENY THE HOLOCAUST HAPPENED, AND WILL TRY ANYTHING TO JUSTIFY THEIR HATRED......

The only way to beat the BNP is on Thursday by voting, you are just the same as them by calling his number. It only makes them stronger.
Lets be bigger & stronger, never lower your selves
Vote Hope Not HATE
