One of the country's top young motor racing stars, Billy Mackenzie, is
a BNP member. The 24-year-old is the UK's reigning MX1 motocross
champion, and was described on the list as an "activist" and a "high-
profile sportsman".
Mr Mackenzie rides for Honda and has represented Great Britain. He is
regarded as among the world's leading talents in the sport. Honda
stood by the rider, insisting he was not an "active member" of the BNP
and would do nothing to embarrass the company. A spokeswoman said: "He
decided to pay the annual subscription after the war on terror, which
was something he felt strongly about." Mr Mackenzie, from East
Lothian, could not be contacted last night.

At least he's not a Democrat.

What's a Scot doing in a *British* nationalist party, anyway?
I thought Scotland was out of that whole British mess.

Unsurprisingly, you thought wrong. Hint: British does not necessarily
mean English.

"British" does mean "English".
Soldiers from Scotland, Ireland, and Wales used to say that when they
were called upon to fight and die for Great Britain, that actually
meant dying for *England*.
