"Mr. Nationalist"

Until 1978 foreigners were officially classified by the government as livestock and were subcategorised by odour.

Defining who was and wasn't English became complicated. By the end of the decade, right-wing nationalists had drawn up a list that demanded the deportation of everyone apart from 9 people, all of who claimed to be the only true English. They even insisted on the deportation of all foreign foods (which they later amended, granting visas to pizza, kebab and curry sauce).

Their spokesperson, Colin Head, said at a 1976 rally:  

"We reject foreign influences in England. That is our weltanschauung. Multiculturalism is our bête noire and we strongly believe that English culture is destined to become kaput if the current zeitgeist continues to be de rigueur. But it doesn't have to be a fait accompli and that's why we will continue to be the enfant terrible of modern politics. It's time to act: Carpe diem!"

    You just made me hyperventilate, I laughed so hard! I am so glad I wasn't drinking anything, for it surely would have spurted out of my nose. Thanks :)

    Surely the early days of U.K.I.P......I was unaware they started in the NorthWest.

    There is far too much f***ing foreign bloody words in our wonderful langage, if you excuse my French.

    Nice boots. Tricker's Stow in purple calf if any St George's underpant owners want to recreate the look.
