The BPP - Towton or business in a puddle off the B1217

Jack Black | 27.03.2006 14:36 | Anti-racism

Finding themselves irrelevant in the 21st Century, the BPP are now reaching back to 1461!

As he struggles with alcoholism, depression, and accusations of embezzlement and touting, Edmund Morrison, the beleaguered leader of the sad Hitlerite sect that calls itself the British People’s Party (BPP) is also struggling with reality. The BPP are a busted flush waiting to be flushed down the toilet of history, Morrison and his dwindling band of followers have been clinging on for weeks now, as their party is mocked by both Left and Right. Finding themselves irrelevant in the 21st Century, Morrison & co are now reaching back to 1461!

Understandably wary of a public meeting after his last beating, Morrison took his ramshackle collection of cohorts out to the wilds of Tadcaster at the weekend to commemorate the Battle of Towton in 1461. As ever, Sid Williamson, the BPP’s gobshite in Saltdean, was unable to attend.

No crowd it seems is too small for Unsteady Eddy to address these days, and even with the addition of fellow-Nazis from the England First Party and BNP, there were barely more than a dozen present to hear his laughable ramblings. Eddy himself describes the scene somewhat differently of course, “Addressing his ‘troops’, BPP National Organiser and event co-ordinator Eddy Morrison delivered an informative and captivating talk about the battle.” He continues, “Eddy, standing before the memorial and flanked by a combined Honour Guard and Flag Party bearing the county flags of Yorkshire and Lancashire and the revered St. George’s Cross, also convened a Minute’s Silence. This was followed by a wreath-laying ceremony and the further parading of the Flag Party before the cross.” Clearly, Eddy has been studying hard at the Jeffrey Archer School Of Bullshit and Self-Promotion, as well as at the Walter Mitty School of Reality!

So this is what has become of mentally-unstable Morrison and the BPP, a sad bunch of (for the most part) ageing Nazis waving flags around at an obscure location in the middle of nowhere. The ‘Honour Guard’ and ‘Flag Party’ can be seen for what they are in the photo below (cue banjo music!) Morrison’s delusions of grandeur are becoming as ridiculous as his bizarre ravings on the BPP website.

Apparently lacking the good grace to call it a day, the BPP are having the piss ripped out of them mercilessly by other fascists as they lurch ever closer to oblivion. Morrison & co apparently stopped answering the phone or replying to correspondence weeks ago, a situation not helped by ‘National Secretary’ Kevin Watmough being in hiding. As ripped-off fellow Nazis, creditors, and Watmough’s ex-girlfriend, search for the bumbling buffoons of the BPP, we can announce: The BPP last seen in a pub just off the B1217. Hopefully ‘last’ being the operative word.

It's almost worth the BPP's continuing existence just to read great piss-takes like this. 'Unsteady Eddy' indeed. LOL Keep 'em coming. :-D

Thanks Antifascist, though the title should actually read 'Towton FOR business in a puddle off the B1217'.
