BNP in the Media
The BNP are mentioned in three stories I have seen in the newspapers [well, on their websites - I don't buy the paper versions any more or, in the case of the BBC, watch the broadcasts] today:
Firstly, the BNP are rejected by UKIP after they proposed an electoral pact at next years European elections with UKIP focusing on the South and the BNP in the North.
Quite rightly, too. The BNP must not be allowed any lee-way to get any form of representaton anywhere. All parties must fight against them at the polls.
Secondly, trade unions want to be able to expel BNP members. As far as I can see, they have no real reasons to be do this except because they want to.
I don’t like the BNP, but as I have said before, banning them and refusing them their right to their own political beliefs and association helps no-one. We should rather engage them in dialogue and expose them that way. For as long as the BNP remain a legitimate political party, they must not be banned for their political beliefs, however disgusting they are.
And thirdly, BNP voters are thick, having an IQ level at the age of 10 of 98.4. Even those who don’t vote had an IQ of 99.7.
Of course this piece of “news” means little*, espiecally since what this study hasn’t done though is provide any form of correlation with their IQ now. But it does kind of make the point of the type of people who vote BNP…
* Especially with the “fact” that Lib Dem voters had an IQ of 108.2 at 10 – if they’re so clever, why don’t they vote for a party that could actually win?
Dear friends I would like to bring to your attention the hypocrisy of BNP leader Nick Griffin. While calling out Labour MPs for being gay on a homophobic page on the BNP website. We find Nick Griffin has his own hidden homosexual past according to the ex leader of the BNP John Tyndall. On the web pages of the now dead former BNP leader. http://spearhead.com/0310-jt2.html
Maybe Nick Griffin should come clean about his relationship with a former high ranking National Front official, Martin Webster. Before he starts looking into the beds of Gay MPs?
What follows is John Tyndalls own questioning report on the Nick Griffin gay story!
Well, it is interesting to learn that Nick Griffin these days considers defamation of himself a cause for action against the defamer, for this did not seem to be his attitude back in 1999, when a former high ranking National Front official, Martin Webster, put out a circular alleging a homosexual relationship between himself and Griffin back in the late 1970s. Webster, in doing this, challenged Griffin to take him to court for libel if the allegation was untrue. Griffin declined to do so, arguing that as Webster was a ‘man of straw’ he would not get any damages off him. This completely side-tracked the main issue, which was not one of money but of the personal honour and reputation of the leader of the BNP, and thus of the BNP itself.
But it was not only Webster whom Griffin could have sued. The story was covered in both The Sunday Times and Searchlight magazine, in the latter case being written in tones which gave credence to Webster’s claims. Neither of these publications are exactly without assets, and Griffin could have got tidy sums off them had he taken them to court and won.
But he chose not to – which makes it strange that he is now so sensitive to imagined ‘defamation’ by me and has had me hounded out of the BNP for my troubles. As to whether Webster’s story of a homosexual affair with Griffin was true or not, I simply don’t know.
Maybe we should help bring him out the closet
