Nazis In The RAF

Whistleblower | 26.02.2010 06:46 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Birmingham | Liverpool

Adolf Hitler would be well chuffed! The heroic RAF who were the scourge of Hitler's Nazis in the Battle of Britain, have in recent years become infiltrated with recruits who sing to the same song of extreme racial and religious hatred.



Since the rise of the BNP, the proliferation of Facebook, and the open knowledge that American freedom of speech laws allow all manner of extreme materials to be posted online without censure, members of the British Armed Forces have set up numerous Facebook and Twitter accounts and other outlets of social networking, posting open diatribes of hatred and violence towards Asians, black people, Muslims, asylum seekers and foreigners, assuming they had a free reign to disseminate their inflatory and grossly offensive bile on the internet without censure.

Discovering serving members of the forces who belong to (or sympathatise with) organised racism, fascism and racial street violence, let alone genocide and ethnic cleansing is easy and straightforward when you enter the right keywords into search engines like Google which are readily adapted to pick up the minutest detail, lending fame and notoriety to nobodies who would otherwise be anomymous. Simple random searches deliver a wealth of results, exposing hundreds of serving servicemen and women who shame the nation they (claim to) so proudly support, and its shared values of tolerence, decency and respect, with overt encouragement of racial and religious hatred.

In January the Equality and Human Rights Commission pressed for an inquiry and for strenuous attempts by the MoD to dismantle a "barrack-room culture" that is seen as more tolerant to racism, but whether any progress has been made, is cast into doubt over the endless stream of revelations of racism within the services.

Most exposés of racism are unsurprisingly based around individuals using racist language, etc., showing off to the mates how biggotted they are as a twisted right of passage, but one particular squadron of the RAF has started its very own branch of the extremist far right, the so-called "English Defence League", the violent racist gang of football hooligans who claim to be merely protesting against Islamic extremism, but who made Hitler salutes in public, march through the streets chanting racial abuse en masse, and have links to Ulster terrorist groups, the BNP, and the intensely dangerous British Freedom Fighters, the latter of which are a white supremacist terrorist cell within the EDL whose aim is to unleash bloody racial Balkanisation upon multicultural Britain.

Members of the 281 (Southport) Squadron Air Training Corps have openly set up their very own active branch of the neo-Nazi EDL on Facebook, and their members have been clearly spotted wearing special EDL Southport Squadron gear, engaging in violence in the recent fascist invasions of the North and Midlands. Online, "Southport Squadron EDL" (as they call themselves), bringing into disrepute their entire squadron), have become synonymous with enlisting military muscle into full-on racist street disturbances.

Judging by the overt racist attutudes, calls for violence and organsation of public disorder demonstrated by members of the Southport Squadron, noticeable via the world wide web, it is hard to deny that there is a minority of serving service personnel who have signed up for the army not merely for employment skills training or patriotic reasons, but merely for the chance to hurt, main and kill non-white people such as Muslims. A sizeable proportion of these servicemen come from tne Midlands, the location of the EDL's anti-Muslim pogrom and violent battle with the police.

To the fanatical racist mind of the EDL and BNP recruit, the unpopular wars in Iraq and Afganistan provide the very opportunity to live out their fantasies of deadly racism, bringing not pride and achievement but shame upon their squadron, their commanding officers, and Britain itself. Unless the recently initiated enquiry into online racism in the armed forces is thorough, and weeds out the ringleaders of the Southport Squadron EDL and their fascist ilk, critics of Western Militarism and the role our country is playing in international foreign policy will rightly cite institutionalised Islamophobia as a key factor.

Whatever one's views regarding the legitimacy (or otherwise) of the wars Britain fights, one thing is definate - squadrons of troops are meant to be battling from the air, not on the streets of their very own country, bringing havoc, fear and utter chaos to diverse but loyal (and anti-extremist) communities trying to live their lives in peace and harmony without hindrance from violent outsiders using their military training to inflict racial violence and mayhem in the very heart of multicultural Britain.

The violent fascists training within Southport Squadron have been busy over the last month organising a frenzy of "paki-bashing" (as the EDL thugs love to descibe it) in their pre-planned Bradford "Riot Of Riots" (now cancelled), gathering together as many hooligans and miscreants as possible to overrun anti-fascist demonstrators and police to rampage through the streets and suburbs of Bradford like commandos, savagely beating-up, smashing-in, and setting fire to everything and everyone, doing their unpatriotic duty to help mastermind the biggest widescale racial disturbance since Oswald Mosley.

In between racist jokes which include tales of throwing Asian people to their deaths from trains, the chilling rally of Southport Squadron EDL to organise as many racist thugs to riot in Bradford echoes loudly, "This is the one to be ready for lads, This IS THE one to stand up and be counted, this is where the fkin breading ground is. Take it to their doorstep. EDL NO SURRENDER!"

(Please refer to the screenshot)

Accusations of racism within the armed forces date back years, with regular stories of the mistreatment and bullying of Asian and black recruits. Most famously, Prince Harry referred to an Asian colleague as "our little Paki friend", but what these recent allegations have unsurfaced are far more troubling than the cohesion and harmony of British fighting forces - the eruption of raw race hatred encouraging street fighting and uncontrollable violence in multicultural communities.

If the government, the home office, and the commanders of our nation's military powers have knowingly permitted entire units such as Southport Squadron to fight like common criminals on the streets of Britain, there must be a far reaching enquiry into how this was allowed to happen.

The behaviour of military personnel in public is of major concern to the Air Force and the Army. Regulations of conduct include individuals lives both on and off duty, the threat of court marshalling and prison for offenders, looming over those who knowingly break the rules and bring shame to their comrades. Surely somebody somewhere noticed these violent uniformed Islamophobic fascists organising racist streetfights from within their barracks.

Or is organised fascism tolerated within the RAF?

Taxpayers money is used to train service personnel, teach fighting techniques, and basic fitness training, as well as endow troops with specialist military skills. If public money is being used to help organise representatives of an entire squadron to racially assault British Asian people, there must be serious political repercussions.
