Britain's top fascist- Nick Griffin of the BNP, who has a well-documented enthusiasm for Hitler, political violence and getting rid of immigrants-  has taken to addressing his troops in front of pictures of Sir Winston Churchill- who had a well-documented  lack of enthusiasm for Hitler- and a Spitfire which research has shown was flown by a Polish airman.  A bunch of generals and war heroes (orchestrated by right wing tories) ask him to desist because he is besmirching the values of the British military- which now  include "tolerance" and " fairness". He replies by drawing attention to the generals complicity in Blair's wars and compares them to Nazi war criminals- with the implication that they deserve to be hung.

He knows that the British electorate would never vote in any numbers for an avowed Hitlerite so he's trying to remake himself as an old fashioned, beef-eating, English patriot.

I don't think he'll rant on Question Time. He's very canny that way. He has considerable political skills. The way he handled the generals was pretty adroit.
