Why do you always start BNP threads?

Why do you always start BNP threads?

I've never seen him start a BN3 thread

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Because it is interesting to see how this runs.

I gathered that

Not much fun though now, as a few bnp lads have been banned.

 

[ryeseagull]

Hopefully with a ban for you.

Are well we can always 'trust' PC McGARRY 452 to be watching !!

 

[ryeseagull]

There's free speech, and then there's being provocative for the sake of it. The latter insults the former.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Fair point.

I'm pretty sure he has to stand down as an MEP to run in the General Election...
...then again...it is Nick Griffin and he does seem to do whatever the f*** he wants.

i think you can stand but have to resign from one to be in the other, he knows he wont win so can keep his MEP job while stoking up publicity by running.

Why are you "pretty sure", and what favours does Mr Griffin enjoy that others don't?

 

[Ninja Elephant]

I'm sorry, who is Nick Griffin?

Funny world when you have to stand to win a seat!!!! Decent people normally stand to give up their seat. Says a lot about politicians!!!!

 

[coventrygull]

In the EU. You don't even have to stand to become president
