A wreath left by the British National Party at a war memorial has anger churchgoers and war veterans, reports icCroydon. On Sunday, British National Party members laid poppies after a Remembrance service at St Mary’s Church in Addington Village Road. The message on the wreath read: “To those who fell for our race and nation to keep Britain British we will never forget them. Croydon BNP.”

Michael Lyons, 73, chairman of the New Addington branch of the Royal British Legion and veteran of the Suez conflict in 1956, described the message as inflammatory and disgusting. Councillor Brenda Kirby (Labour) said: “Anybody who wants to commemorate those who died has the right, but you can’t pick out a section of them. Thinking our fathers and grandfathers died only to keep Britain white is the most insulting and obscene thing”.

“My dad did not get captured in Calais and force-marched to Poland to keep Britain white. He was fighting for his country and freedom for the world. It was a world war.”
