Five-star treat for BNP...and YOU pay

Griffin: living like a king at the taxpayer's expense
Taxpayers will foot the bill for BNP leader Nick Griffin to enjoy a week of five-star treatment at the Copenhagen climate change summit.

Griffin, elected to the European Parliament on the back of the MPs expenses scandal, is one of just three British MEPs attending in an official capacity. As an MEP he is entitled to claim business class flights for the event, as well as his hotel accommodation and a £300 daily allowance. Griffin has been given a place because he is the only member of the EU environment committee who believes global warming is a hoax.

World leaders including Gordon Brown and Barack Obama will also be attending the summit, which hopes to limit the world's carbon emissions.

The BNP said he was justified in using taxpayers' cash. A party spokesman said: "It's very much in Britain's national interests that at least one politician is willing to question and put under scrutiny what we are all being led to believe by the climate change lobby. Nick and the party believe that the whole global warming industry is a huge con."

But.. The truth truck was never a hoax?


I wonder will the idiotic BNP members try and donate some more money for Griffin to try and "expose" this apparent Global warming hoax???

That's quite handy, isn't it? I wonder if he knew that might happen?

I don;t think this is such a bad thing...Griffin can just appear a moron to the whole world rather than just us in the UK. And as a man that likes the sound of his own voice you can be sure he won't pass up any chance to look a complete dill

Never mind Griffins junket. What about new UKIP leader Lord Pearson taking the party on a hate trip against Islam and Immigration. Should UAF be now targeting UKIP and holding demos at UKIP meetings and conferences?

Gri££in believes that global warming is a hoax - what an utter moron. Then again this is the same idiot that thinks we should all do national service and keep our automatic rifles at home, just in case. The mans a freak.

Griffin and the BNP expouse that global warming (GW) is a hoax because they think that if they can get the public to accept that the official consensus about man-made GW is hoaxed then the public may be willing to question other accepted notions and histories. The biggest of these being the Nazi Holocaust.

UKIP are quite thankful that the BNP exist to their Right. The BNP take all the heat and UKIP get something of a free ride. UKIP are a very extreme and nasty party.

Yes we should. Pearson is rapid Anti-islamist.

@ Young Socialist

The danger with broadening the attack as far as anti-fascism is concerned is it carries the danger of innoculating the general public against the specific evil of fascism. In simple terms, the more people we label as fascist the less it sticks.

UKIP are a bunch of right-wing scrotes by almost anyone else's standard but to call them fascists in my view is overkill.

Those who view climate change as a huge conspiracy never suggest a motive as to why the vast majority of scientists advance such a claim (backed by the latest peer-reviewed science). Surely they can't all be being paid by the huge corporate wind-power business, eh?
