Nick Griffin's New Strategy

There seems to be some debate as to why, last week, Nick 'The Griffin' Griffin MEP (as he likes to be known) would be stupid enough to be photographed with a pair of bonehead's holding up a banner with the white pride symbol. Nick has spent years distancing himself and the party from such things, and indeed its own origins. So why would he make such a mistake now?

The answer is quite simple. Nick Griffin is a rat, he isn't stupid (well, he is, but he knows how to provide for himself and his family, despite many failed business ventures and several bankruptcies, in fact, he is just stupid, and hopeless), but! He looks out for his own survival. And knowing full well the BNP are doomed now, he needs people to vote for him, which is why he tagged along with an EDL demo and posed alongside these bonehead's, to get recognised! So people remember him. BUT WHY? Because he needs his second term as an MEP to secure his own financial security. A second term guarantees a very handsome pension!

He knows his own name and the BNP brand don't pack enough punch now to get him elected to a second term, the brand is so toxic that even people who have previously supported the BNP will likely vote against him! So now he's out there mingling with the minions! Getting his photo snapped with people! So they know who he is. It doesn't matter who, hence, associating with the EDL, the North West Infidels and the CxF. Many, many boneheads to vote for the man! As these organisations don't have any political wing, but many (well, some) supporters who might get out of bed to vote come the next bout of Euro elections. Who else will they vote for when looking down the ballot sheet? That fat shit Griffin is who! The one who said hello to them and asked for a photo with them! The one who had a pork pie in his hand!

Despite this being quite funny, it is actually quite sinister. Nick 'massive Welsh farmhouse' Griffin is keeping the party on life support, harvesting what's left to fund his European campaign. People are still paying membership subs, people are still signing up, donating and working for the party, in the name of British Nationalism. But look at the past few months, very little is being put into the GLA campaign? Several local elections have been completely ignored, meetings are awful! It's all over, and Griffin, Jefferson and Eyebrows all know this! Where is all the money going? Besides paying off massive debts of course? Griffin is biding his time, hoping the party will just be alive enough to get him that second term. That is all he is after now. Fuck the indigenous British who can trace their ancestry back to before 1066, even he isn't sure who they are!

It remains to be seen how the BNP story ends, but we very much doubt it will go beyond the next European Elections!

As an amusing side note, some people have come out claiming the photo is a fake, despite it being extremely popular amongst the more boneheaded elements of the internet at the moment. Never underestimate the power of denial.

1,000,000 voted for the BNP! Foam! Foam!

It is a common claim, one often heard if the rights of the BNP are infringed upon, whenever the BNP are publicy attacked, we hear the same old "how can the establishment deny the right of a million people?", "democratically elected", etc. etc. blah. blah. foam. foam. One million endorsed them! Voted for! Support the BNP! ...apparently, or do they?

Firstly, 943,598 people voted for the BNP in the European elections, the one they're referring to. This is actually 56,402 off 1 million, over 56,000 shy of that golden seven digit number. 56,000? That's a lot of people, a lot of votes! If we're just going to casually throw 56,000 votes around like that, then how's about this? I start the Turkey Party, recieve no votes, but round up by 56,000? Which is still 402 off their claim! That would make the Turkey Party Britain's fastest growing political party? 56,000 members all standing up for the rights of Turkeys! Right? Well, no! And it's a ridiculous example, but so is the BNP's claim. Interestingly, the phrase 'Britain's Fastest Growing Political Party' sounds very familiar!

If this was any other organisation, they would round up to 944,000, or 950,000 at a push. Sure, it's getting close to 1,000,000, but it's actually closer to 900,000. So that's that one debunked.

However, this was two years ago! A lot has happened since then. So to claim that 950,000, sorry 1,000,000, would still vote for, and support the BNP is actually quite stupid, and misleading! The BNP leadership wouldn't try to mislead us would they? Surely not.

It is also important to consider that these were the European Elections. Two points to make here; many people don't quite understand them, don't see them as being relevant and use them to give the Government a good kicking. Don't forget, this was at the height of the expenses scandal. They don't really matter that much, I don't even remember who I voted for or what I felt, I might have even voted for the BNP, just for a laugh. Well, I didn't go that far.

The other point to consider is that the BNP are totally opposed to the European Union. They hate it, yet, it's the only damned thing they could get elected to. It must burn the fingertips of the likes of Paul Morris to write MEP after Brons/Griffin. The pride, MEP, wow! But then, the realisation of what it actually means. Member of the European Parliament. Not MP, that would be something, and Nick tried, bless him. Only recently has Nick realised how to play this one, he is now a 'voice of dissent within the European Parliament', well, actually Nick, we already have loads of those, and ones who are doing a lot more than you over there!
