Does this mean the end of the BNP for this election?

Question

You simply couldn't make this up could you, as bad as Gordy calling a supporter a bigot?

Has anyone heard anything about Mark Collett's arrest since he tried to kill Nick Griffin?

Answer 1

Sadly their site seems to be up and running again.



No word about Mark Collett though.



EDIT - I was looking forward to reading Bennet's condemnation of the 'party' - still it's all falling apart and that's got to be good ;o)



EDIT2 - http://williamsonwatch-nwn.blogspot.com/ - interesting?

Answer 2

I don't think so. This sort of problem is typical of 'protest vote' parties that suddenly hit a note and start to get real attention, their lack of quality is exposed. However every party goes through such learning curves.



What worries me much more than their internal anguish is the fact that we might end up with PR. That would lead to such organisations getting representation in our parliament on a direct basis.



All those calling for PR ought to think very carefully, look at the amount of representation extreme parties have in all parliaments where PR is found. Italy, Israel, Germany are typical examples but are only the tip of the iceberg.

We really don't want PR here imagine even under constituency construction population centres can 'control' the result. PR exacerbates this problem with urban areas determining the government all the time. With our current system you get to vote for someone from a party, under PR you get a list and don't have a true say as to who or what you end up with. It could mean that London and the South East could completely dominate the political system through numbers alone. Would further alienate Wales and Scotland by reducing their chances of fair representation at Westminster and drive our country further apart. Which is precisely what the pro EU bunch want. A regionalised 'Briton' that no longer speaks with one voice and so is therefore weaker and more easily dominated and intimidated by other external political interests.

Answer 3

Didn't something similar happen in the Labour Party this week. A Labour MP saying that Brown was the worst Prime Minister ever? You know it did.

Answer 4

BNP aren't the only ones:

Then again someone probably paid him to say it.

Answer 5

Hopefully the BNP will go down in flames. I knew Nick Griffin was lying when he claimed it was a "joker" over the marmite carry on.



The website is vile and the chatroom is worse!

Answer 6

I so wish that someone would make a movie about that lot, it would be the best selling comedy of the year. What a shower of dummies but they give us a good laugh at a time when we most need it to lighten the boredom of the election.

Answer 7

As usual if you want valid information about what is happening inside the Nazi BNP you have to go to their opponents' websites:

For those of a more Conservative persuasion check out the Times:

As for Collet - this is the latest article I could find:

Answer 8

I sometimes wonder if the BNP are just one big con trick out to skin as much money as they can out of the people who join and donate money to that party.



But saying that anybody who is prepared to donate their own personal money to any party for ideological reasons is quite frankly in my opinion, barmy.

Answer 9

It's worse than that Helen, I had a BNP election leaflet delivered today, and when I took it back informing them I had just bought toilet paper, I discovered that they were being posted by Eastern Europeans.



One of them scowled at me and darkly muttered something about 'enjoying your multi cultural society'.



Immigrants canvassing for the BNP?



You would have to have a heart of stone not to laugh.

Answer 10

Terribly frustrating that there is not a respectable party that represents white working class people.



No one in there right mind would vote BNP.

Answer 11

Nice try! but you wont stop people voting for the BNP if they want. I am glad I saw your sneaky question before any good folk believed,because the link you provided is nonsense,and the BNP website is still operating normally!! You seem more terrified of sensible folk saving their nation,than you are of terrorism.

Answer 12

Trouble with the BNP is that people want to support some of their policies, just not the radical ones. Maybe that's why infighting occurs.



Anyway....oh, I don't know. Just anyway.......





:)

Answer 13

You'd think Griffin would keep an eye on things, wouldn't you?

Answer 14

Bennett was probably just a Labour mole LOL

Answer 15

Nein !

Ve vill overcome, Mrs S - and ve know where you live - so be more silent !!!

Ze British National Politics party might be few in numbers - but ve have baseball bats.(AND hats,)

And ve know where you live.

And that black guy in Norwich said Gorgon Broon is the worst PM in the history of forever - which proves our case - is it not ???

Vote Vincent Cable on 6 May - or die.

It's your last chance !!!

Zere vill be no more warnings.

Edit Edit Edit - oo iz giving me all zese thumb-downs ???

cAN NOONE take a joke round ere ?

Answer 16

Hi Helen as It was Mr Bennett who was responsible for my departure from the BNP I find this news absolutely hilarious.

He only lives down the road from me in Camelford..I really must make more of an effort to rekindle our friendship.

He really is nasty little Maggot and deserves all he gets.

It appears someone logged in as ‘arthur’ is downloading a copy of the whole site from a UK IP address; I hope that’s okay?
