BNP selling Irish Republican music

Daysha

Found this on another forum, thought it was pretty amusing

Given the BNP's longstanding antipathy to Irish republicanism, and to the IRA in particular, it is surprising to see them selling a CD (Cu Chulainn - Over an Hour of Irish Folk) featuring 'Back Home in Derry', by Bobby Sands.

The CD also includes 'The Fields of Athenry', 'The Foggy Dew', about the Easter Rising, and 'Only Our Rivers Run Free'.

Another CD, A Feast of Irish Folk, includes 'Grace', about the marriage immediately before execution of Joseph Plunkett, after the Easter Rising, and 'Gallipoli', lamenting the death of an Irishman fighting for England. Hardly the sort of ballads you'd associate with the BNP!

Curiously, the BNP don't stock CDs of loyalist music - there's not a rendition of 'The Sash' or 'The Famine Song' to be bought.

We wonder what BNP supporters, more associated with chants of 'no surrender to the IRA' than singing 'The Soldier's Song', will make of this. Excalibur manager Arthur Kemp may face some awkward questions in the weeks ahead.

Only a few of those listed are that bad, or have you just dismissed them out of hand?.

If I had quipped the "The unspeaking retailing the actualy not too bad apart from a few", it would have lost something in its quipiness.

We're supposed to be with them now because of all the immigrants in Ireland.
They hate the Slavs more than they hate us.

Oh right, sorry, didn't see the "quipiness" over the "dismissiveness".

To be truthful, had you said that first, I would have split my sides, but now it's a bit of an anti-climax.

Looking at Boards lately, they've spotted a market opportunity.

Was there not talk of an INP on Stormfront?

Hypocrisy would be a prerequisite for joining of course.
