Английская Википедия:Billy Brit
Billy Brit is a puppet character who has been used in YouTube videos by the youth wing of the British National Party.[1]
In one of the videos, titled "Heroes", the character recites a poem extolling a series of British figures: Boudicca, Edward I, William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, Captain Scott, Enoch Powell and Nick Griffin. Every verse except for the one on Griffin ends with a statement that the individual was white.
The "Heroes" video was criticised by Hari Kunzru of The Guardian.[2] An episode of Have I Got News for You played a clip containing the Boudicca verse, prompting Stuart Maconie to jokingly comment "Pixar have gone really downhill, haven't they?".[3]
The puppet itself was not commissioned by the BNP but was, in fact, a standard puppet bought off-the-shelf.[4]
