There was a study undertaken a year ago that showed that on average members and supporters of the Greens and the Liberal Democrats had the highest IQs and educational qualifications while those of the British National Party had the lowest.
Of course there were plenty of exceptions to suggest the opposite and it was only a bit of fun, but almost as if to confirm it BNP bosses were caught out earlier this year using a Polish Spitfire to front a campaign calling for Eastern European immigrants to be banned from Britain!
The fascist party's 2009 European Elections poster showed a nostalgic picture of a Second World War fighter plane under the slogan 'Battle for Britain'. RAF experts have identified the iconic plane as belonging not to Britons but to a group of Polish pilots instead.
It was actually flown by the RAF's 303 Squadron - made up of Polish airmen rescued from France shortly before Nazi occupation.
It seems that the BNP have got a bit confused because they haven't done their research. This is just another example of them getting it wrong.
A spokesman for the BNP was quoted as saying that the Polish piloted plane was a symbol of the Battle of Britain and represented the economic struggle the country is facing at the moment.
"It's not like the BNP are against Polish people as a nation. We are against Polish people coming over here and undercutting British workers," he said in the Telegraph newspaper.
He clearly didn't realise that No 303 Polish Fighter Squadron claimed the highest number of enemy kills during the Battle of Britain of all fighter squadrons then in operation through September to October 1940!
I think the real problem facing the BNP's intelligentsia is that if there were no immigrants at all in the UK, they still wouldn't get a job.
