Are the two British men more likely to be BNP members or Islamists?

Sue said...: I was just reading about that myself. If they were BNP, the article wouldn't have hesitated in pointing it out. All the articles, including those from the Jewish Press, describe these two heroes as "Britons"....

neil craig said...: If they were even non-Muslim the article would have made that clear. If they voted Labour (or LibDem because of the war) would that mean we should expect to see a headline saying "Labour/Lib Dems vandalise Synagoge" as we would if they were BNP?; 23 January 2010 at 11:07

They were deported by Nazi invaders in 1944 and died when their ship was bombed and sunk by the Allies.

Nice lack of context! I wonder where the Germans were deporting them to.; 1 February 2010 at 14:07
