The war in Afghanistan was used as a stunt by the BNP in an attempt to win over voters in Barking, Essex. Sadly they couldn't find a real army man to stand beside them in uniform.
From The New Statesman:
Metro claims not to know whether the man pictured with Griffin is a serving soldier. However, I can reveal he is no such thing: his name is Adam Walker, 41, a BNP member and former teacher who faces being struck off by the General Teaching Council for posting racist messages on the internet during a lesson.
On Saturday he was parading in front of news cameras gathered in Barking to cover the BNP's campaign launch. Asked if he was a real soldier, he admitted he wasn't.
This smacks of the BNP's election leaflet featuring "non-indiginous people" (whatever that's supposed to mean).
