What is it with fascists and charity? One of the most insidious propaganda coups on the part of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn in Greece was to initiate a series of food banks for "indigenous" Greeks. Since last year, BNP food banks have been spotted in east London similar to their traditional propaganda efforts based on civic activism such as litter-picking and now the party has announced to a riveted world that these are only for "indigenous Brits".
This isn't even coded racism. It was only a few years ago that the BNP explained the concept of "racial foreigners" to the credulous if you're not white, they averred, you're not truly British. As if to underline the point in this context, the BNP's duce, Nick Griffin, also charmingly compared a leading black member of Unite Against Fascism, who had criticised the scheme, to an orc a mythical, villainous humanoid creature with facial features drawn from various animals.
