Nigel Farage ‘defended’ by far-right group using armoured land rover

I think Britain First has been boasting about their armoured landrover for a little while now, and have appeared to ‘defend’ UKIP meetings elsewhere in the country. Back in the 1990s the BNP was trying to package itself as somehow based in the politics of the community, the reality is that the Far Right really do want to be a bunch of goosesteppers in a private army.

They’re vicious thugs, but there’s also a side to this which is actually hysterically funny. First of all, it’s too much like Spode from Jeeves and Wooster. Spode was a caricature of Oswald Moseley, who fancied himself as Britain’s next great dictator. He marched around as head of the militant Black Shorts, proclaiming the Fascist virtues of the ‘British knee’. When he met the two, it was just as he was off to address the Eagle Battalion at Minchinhampton. Less fitting with his image as Fascist strongman was the fact that the character was supposed to own a dress shop called ‘Eulalie’.

And really, you can’t help looking at their armoured landrover and not think of the camp tank commander and his little tank from ‘Allo, ‘Allo.

Pride's Purge

(not satire – it’s the UKIP!)

Neo-Nazi organisation Britain First has tweeted a picture of what they describe as an “Armoured Land Rover” they are using to protect UKIP leader Nigel Farage as he goes around the country campaigning:

Looks like Farage and the UKIP aren’t even trying any more to hide their links to far-right groups.
