BNP Activist Stephen Curry advises activists to behave like cowards

Regular readers of this blog will know that the East Barnet BNP candidate, Stephen Curry accused my father, who was a WWII bomber pilot who flew 38 missions, was shot down, taken prisoner of war and escaped, a coward. You may recall that Stephen Curry has not apologised or removed the post. You may recall that the BNP have happily left up the post by Stephen Curry - so they clearly think it's OK to abuse RAF pilots.

So what sort of man is Mr Stephen Curry, who questions the bravery of dead WWII veterans? How brave is he? Well I found this piece of advise from him on a BNP website, to fellow activists who wanted to go out and campaign against Halal Meat.

Dave,
I have a really very bad feeling about campaigning with stalls regarding Halal, this video is a reminder of what the reaction may be.

The whole point of us being on the streets is Public Relations (ed). If we have a neutral subject we can spend more time on the streets unchallenged, as a person that rings round asking people if they would like to help out with stalls I would feel very uncomfortable I would feel as though I am putting them in a risky situation. We have our anti-ritual slaughter policy deep in our manifesto and the public know this already, There are so many subjects that can be covered which all of the public will warm to we can build massive teams of relible activists in every town centre every week on neutral subjects similar to bring the troops home. As soon as we put our activists some very old and frail in a confrontational sitation we won't see them again, and at worse they might get harmed by muslim fanatics even if the halal stalls are done in all white areas they could still take it out on the stall that are neutral in London the whole thing would do more harm than good for the party .

So there you go. Stephen Curry is only happy to campaign on neutral subjects. He wants to hide policies which might be challenged "deep in the manifesto". He's to frightened to stand on the streets, in case a Muslim tells him off, but he was happy to call my Father, who flew 38 bombing missions in the second world war a coward. I'm rather pleased that when Hitler needed to be stopped we had real heros such as my Father, who volunteered to fight and put their lives on the line on a daily basis, rather than the likes of Stephen Curry, who is too scared even to ask for signatures on street corners, in case someone is nasty to him.

Curry lets the cat out of the bag with the Troops out petition. It's not about supporting the troops, it's about "building teams of reliable activists". Interestingly enough, there is another story on the website where Stephen Curry advises BNP activists to bottle it called "What did you do in the war daddy" - here is a small extract.

I’m proud to say I played a part and say that I fought well, that’s why I lost my livelihood and wound up in a cell.

The reason that we lost, my son was not that we weren’t brave, but that the ones we battled for were not worth our while to save

It seems to me as if BNP Candidate Stephen Curry would be a bit of a let down to the "Anon" bloke who "wrote this from his cell". Whilst I'm rather pleased that Stephen Curry has a bit more sensible an attitude than Mr Anon's to stirring up trouble on the streets, I cannot help but point out the hypocracy of this site, on the one hand urging people to go out and start a race war and on the other telling them to hide all of their policies for fear of upsetting Muslims.

BNP candidate Stephen Curry smears WWII veteran

My attention was drawn to a comment by Stephen Curry, the BNP Council candidate for East Barnet in the 2010 Council elections regarding my Father/Grandfather on a BNP website. This is what he wrote.

He likes to brag about his Grandad being in the war but it wouldn't suprise me if he is telling porkys more than likely banged up like Jack Straws father who was a coward and wouldn't fight for the Country.

I rather suspect he was actually referring to my Father who volunteered to fly bombers with the RAF (given that the comments seem to relate to WWII when Jack Straws father was a consciencious objector). My Dad is commemerated on the Australian War memorial website in the following picture. I doubt that Mr Curry has the class or the guts to apologise for making such a disgusting comment about my Father. Here's a picture of him at Foggia air base.

Long before I got into an argument with this idiot, I transcribed my Dads diary from 1944 and printed it on this blog on remembrance day 2008. It details his experiences flying over Italy in Wellington Bombers. Please have a read of this. His service record is also on the Australian war memorial website. I think that anyone who flew 40 missions in an obsolete aircraft over some of the most heavily defended sites in Europe, got shot down, was held prisoner of war and escaped to return to his squadron, deserves a modicum of respect.

Mr Curry may not like me, but I think he's despicable insulting my Fathers war record. For his information, my Grandfather, James Fanning was a veteran of WWI. He served in the trenches. He was gassed and died tragically young as a consequence of this. Two of his Brothers died in the trenches.

As the BNP are currently collecting signatures for a "bring the boys home" petition and pretending to support veterans, I think it is of paramount importance to show what they actually say about them on their own nasty little websites. If I was Mr Curry, I would hang my head in shame for his outburst. I quite understand that he may dislike me, but to insult the war record of a man such as my father is despicable.
