I am reminded of 1066 And All That:
"IMPORTANT NOTE
"The Scots (originally Irish, but by now Scotch) were at this time
inhabiting Ireland, having driven the Irish (Picts) out of Scotland; while
the Picts (originally Scots) were now Irish (living in brackets) and vice
versa. It is essential to keep these distinctions clearly in mind (and
vice versa)."
I think the BNP's intellectuals could do with giving Messrs Sellar and
Yeatman's fine little book a read. They might come to understand that to
stand in opposition to "that long series of Waves of which History is
chiefly composed" is to put oneself in a position that can only be
described as Cnuts.
