SIR – Lee Hancock (November 19) must be having a laugh.

Who is it who is really “besmirching the memory of the slain by allowing and indeed promoting the very things our soldiers fought against?”

Does he mean himself and others in the BNP?

Many of the working men who went to fight in the Second World War did so to fight against the horrors of fascism in Nazi Germany. Many of those who returned resolved never to see fascism raise its ugly head in Britain again and continued their fight to put an end to Oswald Moseley’s Black Shirts movement in the 40s.

Today it is the BNP not Moseley’s Black Shirts which takes up the banner of fascism. They claim to represent the white working class but when in power vote in the same way as the three main parties for cuts in jobs and services.

No, the BNP does not remember the fallen but carries on the legacy of those fascist forces so many lost their lives fighting against.
