You couldn't make it up...

The BNP have announced their candidate for the London Mayoralty.

A Falklands veteran ...

... err, Argentinian, Carlos Cortiglia by name.

I always thought they were just unpleasant cretins, but this is Comedy Genius.

He was born in Uruguay, but emigrated to and fought for Argentina.
"I am Argentine East, in other words, Uruguayan by birth, and I feel very emotionally linked to Argentina. In 1982 I volunteered to go to the Falkland Islands”.
You can Google him if you like. Even by the BNP's low standards, he's a ****.

Yeah the dominant meme of the human race is the tribe rules, ok, your local football team is your religion, and if you ever catch your enemies team in your neck of the woods, kick the s--t out of them, rule of law is for ignoramuses, because all that matters is, 'us and them'
