Thanks to Liz for pointing me at the BNP Question Time thread. It’s actually rather reassuring, to see a party almost unanimously inducing massive, racist erections in HYSers, when we know only a fraction of the population would ever actually vote for them. It’s almost as if they’re just a small group making a lot of noise, who the majority of us disagree with, but stay silent because we don’t think they’re worth bothering with.
This is why I think they’re so impressed with Nick Griffin. These are people who spend all day in an environment where almost everyone has the same opinion, twice an hour, and the ones who don’t either get no recommendations, or give up on the fucking place and come here. Granted, it’s the ultra-left BBC, but it’s safe, sanitised, and everyone is either just like you or invisible. We find them here and not in the real world because differences of opinion and the idea of having to rethink their position actually rather frighten them. Meanwhile, Nick Griffin musters the courage to go on a BBC programme where everyone thinks he’s a racist twat, has seen videos of him being a Nazi and planning to lie about it, and is a lot cleverer than him. It’s as if there’s a thunderstorm and he’s actually peeped outside, while this lot are still quivering under the bed.
To the guy who called Nick Griffin “D*** Griffin” and people who cheered him.
We are British
We say Good Morning, Hello and thank you
We stand in a queue
We give up out seats for elderly and disabled
We respect other…
We are a polite nation
By calling him and cheering to the call you sank below his level….
Shame on you…

You can’t even compare a pudgy Fascist toff to a man’s frontal danglies these days without the PC brigade jumping down your throat. I don’t recognise my country any more.
My wife and I think Nick Griffin is the most courageous man in UK politics. He was very brave to go on this show to speak in what was always going to be a hostile environment.
We are English, hard working people who can see that this country has an unsustainable population rise and a crippling level of debt. We also see many imigrant arriving to exploit our generosity yet not respecting our culture. Nick Griffin speaks sense. We are being invaded whilst our boys are dying abroad, its wrong.

For some reason, I’m now picturing your wife. Small, mousey, quite pretty, but tired-looking. Most of her conversation with others consists of standing next to you saying “yes”, “he’s right you know” and “that’s true dear”. Smiles and nods a lot. Secretly, she thinks you’re a bit dim and sometimes borderline racist, but she loves how proud you look when you get to be Official Marriage Spokesman.
It was very biased against Nick Griffin. The audience was about 85% multicultural and the panel were hypocrites, one minute saying that the Daily Mail had freedom of speech and the next they were denouncing an elected political party for it’s views!
Where were the supporters of the BNP in this audience? Not allowed in, I suspect. It was a totally one-sided affair and even though I woul not vote BNP, I think the man had a lot of guts for coming on the show in the first place.

I feel quite sorry for Rebecca Dwyer. She obviously really wants to be clever and understand politics and stuff, but it’s always that half-inch away from her grasp. So she can never work out why the fat Scottish man and the young man with the long face and posh accent are always shouting at each other. And this is where bad euphemisms come back to bite the English language in the arse. Poor Rebecca’s clearly heard “freedom of speech” and “multiculturalism” used so often for “don’t criticise my opinions” and “wogs, assorted” that she genuinely thinks that’s what they mean.
Here’s Liz’s find. You remember back in GCSE English, when you had to read all those books, and, though you never admitted it at the time, there were a couple you quite liked. Obviously, it’s been years since then and you can’t really remember what they were about, but you had the same pencil-case right through to the end of your A-Levels, and will never forget the quotes you scratched inside the lid to get you through the day.
In the famous book “to kill a mockingbird” Atticus Finch tells his kids, bravery is not a man with a gun in his hand, but someone who knows they are going to be beaten before they start, but still goes ahead. Nick Griffin knew he wouldn’t get a fair hearing and would be raked over the coals. But he went ahead and aired his views, that makes him brave in my eyes and thats why I am voting BNP next election

At least it’s a change from ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’.
