A victory for modern Britain

For a party that claims to be championing Britain it might seem strange that the BNP is not celebrating the record medal haul at the European Athletics Championships. But then again, the success was yet another disaster for the BNP as the vast majority of those who won medals were not 'indigenous' Britons – as defined by the BNP.
Take, for example, Mohammed ‘Mo’ Farrah. He arrived in the UK as a 10 year-old Somalian asylum seeker in 1993 – at the height of media hysteria over asylum seekers – and now is a national hero, ironically enough fêted by the very same newspapers that led the anti-immigrant onslaught back then.
So while the BNP sit on the political margins and brood, the rest of Britain can celebrate some new British heroes.

He was such a cool guy as well! When he won the 1st goal he was so pleased and they wrapped himself in the 1/2 Somalian 1/2 british flag and immediately showd up as nonsense the simplistic notions of national identity that people cling to!

As a child of immigrants I am always thrilled to see a sporting victory by a British athlete and am a tiny bit more thrilled when it is a fellow immigrant. Just so the likes of the BNP have to struggle to win over any more to their nasty cause.
