Simon Darby has posted yesterday’s Sky News interview with Nick Griffin.  The interview was part of the media adoption of the anti-BNP campaign by the Conservative Party’s proxy, Nothing British.  Not that there is anything British about Nothing British:

Nothing British is an anti-racism campaign seeking to promote gentle British values of tolerance, fair-play and respect for one another.

The centrepiece of its campaign has been a set battle between two retired British Army Chiefs of Staff, General Sir Mike Jackson and General Sir Richard Dannatt, and Griffin’s little band of irregulars.  Jackson, we are told, was moved to speak out by “racist insults made by the BNP against Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry, the black Victoria Cross holder”:

“I heard complaints that the BNP were being extremely offensive about Johnson Beharry, I looked into it, and found out that was indeed the case.  I thought it was pretty appalling that a brave man like that should be insulted in this way.

Jackson and Dannatt, along with others, put their names to this almost unbelievable nonsense:

“The values of these extremists - many of whom are essentially racist - are fundamentally at odds with the values of the modern British military, such as tolerance and fairness.”

In the same vein, in Nick Griffin’s Channel 4 interview yesterday, “the Fifth Lord Bethell ... a Tory toff” leading the Nothing British campaign delivered himself of the novel opinion that:

Nick Griffin claims to be sharing values with British military armed services. That’s just not true. The armed services stand for courage, fairness and decency …

Once there was a time when the British military cleaved to the function of executing successful operations as ordered, and nothing else.  Now, if we are to take these Tory proxies at their word, it is a willing social engineer in the greater battle for anti-racism.  Are they right?

Well, let’s look at how this truly manic perversion might have translated to the battlefield, in the form of the award of that VC to Johnson Beharry.  Were his actions in the early hours of Mayday in 2004 consonant with the very highest standards of military virtue for which the VC was inaugurated in 1856? Or has the Establishment merely built up Beharry as yet another peerless negro?  Well, you be the judge.  Here’s the rather over-long citation:
