BNP Leader Nick Griffin humbled on Radio 5 Live
by Alan Stevens on 12-May-09 2:32pm
A totally expected declaration of interest - I can't abide Nick Griffin or the party that he leads, the BNP. However, I have rarely heard his radical views more cleverly brought out in to the open than this morning, when he was interviewed on BBC Radio 5 Live by NIcky Campbell.

Mr Griffin was forced to admit that he had once been a Holocaust denier, but said that he had changed his mind. He then spoke about his party's policy of looking after "indigenous British people". Campbell asked him what he meant, and Griffin argued that only white people could really claim to be "English". Campbell asked whether England footballers like Theo Walcott and Rio Ferdinand were really "English" Griffin, caught up in his own Alice-in-wonderland world replied "Of course they aren't English, they're Afro-Caribbean." He continued "I might go and live in Jamaica, but I could never be Jamaican because I'm not black". Campbell resisted the obvious question about where Griffin thought the black people in Jamaica had come from, and simply let him talk himself deeper into a hole.

It was a masterpiece of gentle extraction of a politician's true nature. No wonder the five live breakfast show won a Sony award last night.

Furthermore, anyone tempted to vote for Griffin and his unpleasant little party should listen to the interview on the BBC iPlayer before casting their vote in the Euro elections.



Quite.

At least he's being honest, at last. It's the one question our own resident knuckle-draggers have always avoided, or at best mumbled about 'good' immigrants.

Surely following Griffin's logic it's impossible to be white AND American?

I heard part of that interview on my way to work yesterday (although I missed the bit about the England footballers). He certainly tied himself up in knots over his Holocaust denial views and how he came around to changing them.
The bloke is an utter weasel.

As an aside from the main point, which is that anyone involved with the BNP is obviously a hairy object found towards the top of ladies' legs, I always think it's funny/hypocritical how England fans sometimes gripe at Germany for featuring players with Polish ancestry (as if that particular, erm, border issue hasn't been just a tad confused in the past) while thinking nothing of cheering England players whose Afro-Caribbean heritage is stronger.

Jamaica, for example, has a national football team which is pretty good much of the time. But they'd be better if English people whose parents or grandparents came from Jamaica played for them instead.

I try to avoid any NSC binfests involving the BNP, however I feel compelled to ask a question, which I genuinely hope somebody can answer.

If somebody has one British parent, and one overseas parent (for the purpose of this exercise, we'll say Afro Carribean), where do the BNP believe they belong? Should they be allowed to live in Britain, by virtue of their British parent? Should they live in their non-British parent's homeland, because of their non-British blood? Or, should they just bob about in the middle of the Atlantic?

[edit] - The reason I ask, is that if this fictional person is not welcome in Britain due to their overseas parent, then surely they should not be allowed in their other parents' homeland either for exactly the same reason. To me this seems like flawed logic, so I would just like to either be corrected or for somebody to explain fully.

britain had no MASS MIGRATION between the norman conquest and the 1950's, the jews/huguenots etc whle moving here in significant numbers cannot be classed as mass migration, we can no more be classed as a mongrel nation than any other european country and i resent the implication, though you can class yourself as a mongrel if you wish.

.

Are you talking mostly about Lukas Podolski who is a Polish citizen and once played handball for Poland?

Although i have no support for the BNP. What Griffin has said is he believes you cannot be English if you are Black. He has not said, from what i have read in the quote, no black people can live in England.

I made post post in one of the MPs expences thread saying that the BNP will do somthing to make sure they're not forgotton. Guess i was correct. I'm so smart :bighead:

Although, during The Black Death, the death rate was far outstripping the birth rate in London, that if it wasn't for the Europeans migrating to these shores, London would have died as a city. Then what?

but most of Europe died during the plauge.

Did you know that the population of England in Queen Lizzie I rein was about the same size at the outbreak of World War One?

Just to put it prespective.
