Iraq commander and former SAS hero, Tim Collins, against the BNP

Former Iraq war commander and SAS hero, Tim Collins, explains how the reputation of the British Military is under attack.

The BNP are cynically exploiting the reputation of Britains military to promote their nasty brand of racism, segregation and intolerance.

It is a deliberate political strategy to exploit the good name of the British Armed Services and to manipulate public opinion.

It is time we said enough. The Militarys image is not to be used for a political partys gain.

@paddyrathmines Unfortuanatley the invasion of Iraq was an immoral and illegal and imperial war which tarnished the reputation of the British army forever.

Tim Collins is a great man, however he is wrong I hate what's happening to this country and so do all my friends who are in the army, this country is being swamped with different races, I hate to sound racist but it's true that the White Anglos also have rights and if you were in any African or middle eastern country and we flooded in they would not stand for it so why should we? I hate it!

[paddyrathmines]

if i were asked for 2 hero's i would look upto, 2 men spring to mind. both of them called Collins strangley enough. Col Tim Collins, and General Micheal Collins of the irish defence force, 2 men who stood up for what they believed in and were not afraid to say and do what they felt was right

@royalecraig I support Britain's troops, I want all nations troops to get home safely, even those we fight.

But the BNP, even if they do support our troops are overtly racist, and there is no way that anybody can justify hatred based on skin tone, religion or any other menial factors such as these. None are "down" to the BNP, but should they gain office, todays Britain will change for the worse. We fight dangerous extremism abroad, so lets fight it at home.

Down with the BNP.

[StPierreGSP]

It must have been an honour to serve under this man

[royalecraig]

That's your policy,IE The BNP are to blame for our current problems, oh and Margaret thatcher of course.

The BNP advocates rebuilding our industries, our fishing, and farming and reclaiming our sovereignty.and no more interfereing in the middle east.

What are you lefty's offering, oh yea, hope, and change.

During the first gulf war, around 750,000 Iraqi's died, during sanctions 500,000 died because they were unable to obtain medical supplies, since our latest invasion over 1.2 million Iraqi's have died Violently, there are now thousands of birth defects due to the use of depleted uranium, our own troops are being affected by this.

thats around 2 million dead Iraq's, how many are down to the British National Party whose campaign is support our troops, bring them home.

Ever heard of Professor Niels Harrit Col Collins, you might like to have a chat with him.

afghanistan is a charade, it has nothing to do with protecting British interests, our boys are being used as fodder for the Global military industrial complex.
