I do not breathe your politics

not www.veritas.org.uk

First observation: this looks like one of Kilroy's personal rants, with 'I' and 'me' replaced by 'we' and 'us'.
If you want a party that tells the truth and only the truth, this is the party for you.
That truly would be a novelty.
Fed up of being made to feel ashamed of being British? So are we. Had enough of being made to feel embarrassed about celebrating British traditions, culture and values? So have we.
I'm concerned about asked-and-answered questions like this. I don't recall being made ashamed, or feeling embarrassed about celebrating British traditions. (English traditions, maybe, once - when I had to be a morris dancer at primary school).
We will stop all this nonsense. We will not tolerate the bullying and the intimidation by the liberal elite in London.
In short: "nonsense" is a very Kilroy word. I don't see any bullying or intimidation. And yes, he really did say 'liberal elite'.
Then we have:
We will speak openly and fearlessly for the British people - of whatever ethnic background, colour or creed - and for the British way of life.
Hmm, how to make it look more like that middle bit was added at the last minute...
The protofascist slogan:
FOR WHAT IS IN THE INTERESTS OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE
I strongly suspect that one day he'll give his definition of 'The British People', and it'll be somewhat less inclusive than mine.
And then there's that logo. Can anyone else see a marketing person in a meeting saying: "no, Robert, purple doesn't do it for me. How about, black, in a white circle, on a red background. It'll look really nice on your party uniform. And have you thought about, maybe, a picture of Winston Churchill? Or a clenched fist. Yes, that's it! a clenched fist!"
All in all, I think I prefer the offer of parties on the beach on www.veritas.org.uk.
