Of eggs, invisible bricks and call centres...

Griffin, tearful and overeggcited (and that's all the egg gags you're getting)
Just a few days ago, the BNP's Lancaster representative, Chris Hill, reported on the result of the new Poulton Ward parish council election in Morecambe. The candidate was one Julie Victoria Blain, who nobody had ever heard of, variously known as either Julie or Vicky. The title of his report was pretty clear;
'First time candidate gets 13% support in Morecambe.'
Pretty clear, but completely untrue. According to the results on the Lancaster City Council website, Blain took 172 votes out of the 4832 cast. I'm no great shakes at maths but even I can work out that her share of the vote is about 3.5%. While 172 votes for the BNP is 172 votes too many, 3.5% is still a damn sight better than 13%, which is presumably why Hill feels the need to lie.

Of course, Hill needs to bullshit all he can in an attempt to weasel his way back into the good books of the party. During 2007's December rebellion, he managed to announce that he was supporting the rebels, promptly backtracked when told off, then decided to stick to his priciples and support them anyway then, when the rebellion failed dismally, placed himself back in the loyalist camp. Clearly, never a man to be trusted.

Which brings us (rather neatly, in my opinion) to Nick Griffin.

Over the past couple of days, the media has been full of the egg incident, where the BNP's crowing 'press conference', called by the fraudster-in-chief Nick Griffin, was ruined by a sudden rain of eggs, one of which hit him in the back of the neck. I'm not too sure of the efficacy of using eggs on recalcitrant politicians, even vermin like Nick Griffin, and I'd be interested in hearing the views of our readers. Personally though, I thought it was bloody funny and it didn't do him any harm so what the hell.

Far from doing him harm in fact, Griffin has been given the opportunity to spout a few more lies to the media - many of which were reported verbatim without any qualification. Take this little gem, from yesterday's Scotsman;
'I think it's very sad that a hostile mob which is partly paid for by taxpayers and backed by Labour and the Conservatives is allowed to get away with mob violence on the streets of Britain in 2009'
Hostile mob? Mob violence? There were forty of them, vastly outnumbered by the media and Nick Griffin's Kray twin-lookalike security team and they threw a sodding egg, for crying out loud. It's hardly the collapse of civilisation as we know it. And paid for by taxpayers? Er, how?
'The police need to get a grip on these people and stop them throwing eggs and bricks.'
Bricks? What bricks? Who threw a brick? This is a particularly stupid thing to say and could have exposed this idiot as a compulsive liar had the statement been questioned. It wasn't, sadly.
'Like us or not we are a democratic party'
No, you're not. You're the least democratic party in the country, run by megalomaniacs and liars for racists and fools. But, like the long-established and well-practised liar that he is, Griffin saves what is arguably the best for last.
'He claimed the party has seen a growth in membership applications and said its call centre received 20,000 phone calls in the first 15 minutes after a BNP party political broadcast was shown on television.'
I watched a tedious puff-piece on the BNP website a week or two ago in which it was claimed that fifteen people were employed in the party's 'call centre' answering the zillions of calls that were pouring in daily. Let's be generous and up the number of call centre staff to twenty. According to my trusty calculator, 20,000 calls in fifteen minutes is 1333 calls per minute. Divide that by twenty call centre staff and they have to field approximately 67 calls each per minute. If there are only fifteen staff, that number goes up to 89 per minute. Each.

Obviously someone is talking bollocks - and that someone would be Nick Griffin. And, it turns out, Tina Wingfield, the BNP's membership secretary, who was also quoted in the Scotsman's unusually fact-free article, claiming that 2,000 people have joined the party in the last six weeks, increasing overall membership by about 25%.

Well, she should know - though this doesn't really tie in with the released BNP membership list, which showed a total of 12724 members, allegedly for 2007 and which was, so the party claimed at the time, inaccurate in that membership was considerably higher when the list became public than it was in 2007. Fair enough, but if that is true, party membership has in fact gone down considerably. A hell of a lot, in fact, because Wingfield's statement indicates that BNP membership just six weeks ago was around 8,000 and now stands at 10,000. Hmm...

The problem with telling porkies is remembering which ones have been told, who they've been told to and precisely what was said. The BNP, while it's happy to lie on any occasion, doesn't seem quite so capable at keeping track of the lies it's told.

The big problem the media has is itself keeping track of these lies and then challenging them at every opportunity - but the lies have to be challenged repeatedly and incessantly and should then be used to embarrass and humiliate the BNP whenever and wherever possible. In just a single article we were given an opportunity to challenge a half-dozen outrageous lies, none of which were questioned at the time. If the BNP is to be shown up for what it truly is, the media - and I include non-traditional media like us, must be ever-alert and ever-ready to demand truth rather than bullshit and bluster.

This was the biggest attack on democracy, since the last biggest attack on democracy that I moaned about.

That's why I'm launching the 'Fightback against the Fightback Fightback Campaign' and giving YOU the chance to be a founding supporter. Just send me a huge cheque, payable to N Griffin within the next 3 days and help us ... er ... fight back.

"2,000 people have joined the party in the last six weeks, increasing overall membership by about 25%"

As you've rightly pointed out, that's an extremely interesting quote and should be used repeatedly to emphasise the lies they've been talking about membership numbers since the release of the list. Remember, just after that, the BNP said on numerous occasions that as a result of the leak membership was zooming up because people were proud to be on the list. Crap of course but another big lie busted.

Taking into consideration how the BNP like to exaggerate I suspect new members are considerably less which brings me nicely back to a point I have been stressing for the last year.

THE BNP HAVE LESS THAN 6000 MEMBERS

But according to Tina Wingnut's figures, it's shrunk. Wouldn't it be nice if somebody from the BNP told the truth for a change.

It will be interesting to compare these figures with those that are eventually given to the electoral commission. I bet we find some major inconsistencies and plenty of evidence of lies to the public.

We just received an email from triple-turncoat Chris Hill, which I thought you might enjoy. My immediate responses are interspersed within square brackets.

Vicky Blaine would presumably be that idiotic woman who hid down by the BNP's stall all afternoon when we arrived the other Saturday. She didn't look very honoured to be representing the BNP, in fact she looked terrified to meet the public.

Given the fact that the BNP's vote didn't actually increase at the Euro election, you could well be right.

Whilst the egging provided a wry smile to most of us, it is time to move on. Further attacks will just play into the Eggman's hands.
Part of the problem with demos is that it attracts certain elements who just want trouble and this means that neutrals see both sides as bad as each other.
It is incumbent on those attending such demos that they reign in the idiots who are so counter-productive.

I don't think the Daily star headline helps either even though this is a paper that considers 'YOU' to be non-Muslims.

Chris Hill was sent by Griffo to destroy the rebels resistance from within. I remember reading the rebels blogs around the time Colin Auty had told Griffin where to go. He very much tried to water down the disdain against Griffin, stating that "for party unity reasons",they must not burn their boats.

He didn't burn boats. Instead he cast aside his supposed rebel friends down the bloody river, the traitorous bastard.

I see the feeble death-threater is back online until the men in white coats inject him with some necessary lobotomising drugs, and he has the gaul to make groundless claims about Ketlan, which would be subject to libel laws if only Google published IP addresses.

One man who really does appear to be a kiddy-fiddler is the BNP leader-in-waiting Mark Collett, who tried to sleep with two fourteen year old girls in that Blackpool Hotel, as witnessed not by anti-fascists whom many nazis wouldn't believe in a month of sundays, but members of his own party.

Mark Collett isn't nicknamed Paedo Boy for no reason.

Lock up your toddlers when the pervert's about!

Shame the one-eyed Cyclops brushed the incident under the carpet so Collett won't be the one locked up.

Although I hate BNP members, I do worry about the safety of kids attending the Red White and Blue scumfest when child-groomers like Collett and Hannam are free to roam those farm fields looking for kiddies to abuse!

"Do you want a very early slow painfull death?"

The exact words of fellow nutjob and inspiration for this looney loner, the one-and-only Copeland. The BNP might be a joke, but the scumbags must be watched like hawks, for they are dangerous when they realise the end is nigh for racism.

"Going postal" is the term adopted for loners like this stalker, as many members of the far right are suffering from terminal mental illness for which there is no cure.

Landale said...

I understand Eric the Fish's issues - NVDA can be more effective I believe, particularly as it would challenge the general deamour of the BNP of boots and fists.

I wasn't particularly happy that Antifa got arrested more or less as far as I could see 'en bloc' at Codnor and were I think more or less the only arrests.

The main demo was in some respects so out of touch as well.

We need to think out the box, borrow from the peace, justice and climate movements etc not just stick to marching, rallies and shouting.

I know that many do find NVDA a bit odd - but now I think it has its place in the antifascist movement.

You'd think DeathThreatMan would get a life, or at least give himself a full-frontal labotomy.

I imagine the person writing these death threats has never had a girlfriend in his life, can't hold down a job, and suffers from depression, not that I feel sorry for bloody nutcases.

jenny said...

It's agreed, the crackpot writing the death threats is suffering from mental illness just like david copeland!

Fuck the BNP said...

Well done for allowing these death threats to appear in the comments. They really do show what lunatics support the BNP and how they would like to deal with those who oppose them. As Ralph says, it's a pity Google doesn't publish IP addresses but then these freaks would only come here via a proxy. Keep on fighting, mates, you're obviously doing a good job or they wouldn't be constantly trying to frighten you off.

I know it's no consolation but you're not alone in receiving death threats from BNP-supporting nutters. From todays Sun

REVEREND AND THE MAKERS frontman JON McCLURE has revealed how he received death threats after he had a pop at the BNP.

The rocker organised an anti-racism gig in Rotherham and played at the Love Music: Hate Racism Festival in Stoke last month.

He said: "I was at a gig with my side project MONGREL and four lads turned up at the back with knuckle dusters.

"They were saying they were going to do this, that and the other to me and BABYSHAMBLES bassist DREW McCONNELL.

"I've had people ringing my parents in the middle of the night with death threats."

The no-life demented BNP-loving crazie who keeps sending you death threats is most obviously one expenses claim short of a full Euro-MP's allowance.

The technical name for his condition in the psychiatric industry, is a fixation, and this mentally-ill psychopath is most probably suffering from a delusional state of mind shared by fellow BNP mental patients Robert Cottage and David Copeland, who allowed hate to turn anti-social loners into monsters.

Maby the nutcase is suffering from an inferiority complex, like pervert Mark Collett and his infamously small penis, which is why, believing in those racist myths, he took an immediate dislike to black people and joined the BNP, the freak!

People who are reduced to making threats of this nature are clearly frustrated and backed into a corner. This is the way a threatened animal behaves. The reaction is indicative of deep fear, especially of the truth.

I think it is a really good sign. This is the standard reaction of the BNP, threats followed by lies and distortions. Mr Kemp has even been reduced to sending his teenage children and the BBC threats very similar to those posted on this site - terrified of the truth once again and fighting for survival is where they all are.

Do keep up the pressure they are clearly cracking!
