Cash-strapped BNP 'turns to racist hardcore'

Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP which opponents say has suffered a split
The BNP was last night accused of turning to "a hardcore group of neo-Nazis and racists" to stand as candidates in next month's local elections.

The anti-BNP campaign group Hope not Hate said it had compiled a dossier of extremist postings of candidates standing on 5 May, either in council elections or those to the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly. Among the postings the group collected from Facebook pages were:
  • One BNP candidate in the North of England who posted on his Facebook page a mock advert for the gas Zyklon B – used in the Nazi extermination chambers of the Second World War – captioned, "Try Zyklon B. It's a gas!"
  • One candidate urges his followers to "Stamp out diseases today. Spray pakis and poofs with hydrochloric acid".
  • An activist in Wales, who has a photograph of his endorsement by BNP leader Nick Griffin on his Facebook page. Underneath it reads: "My grandfather was killed in Auschwitz. Apparently he got pissed and fell out of the watchtower!"
The candidate also posted, "Just popped round to see my Muslim neighbour's new baby. She asked me if I wanted to wind it but that seemed a bit extreme so I gave it a dead leg instead."
  • A woman, describing herself as a "a big supporter of the BNP leader Nick Griffin", responded to a protest by Muslims Against The Crusades by saying: "They should all be burned."
  • Another candidate posting about his arrest for "an out of date bus ticket", says: "They [police] have just made me hate them even more. From now on I will be celebrating the death of serving police officers when they are announced on the news. May sound a bit extreme but I hate them that much." He also posted that Labour's newly elected MP for Barnsley Central, Dan Jarvis, a former officer in the Parachute Regiment, "should have been shot from behind while facing the enemy".
Overall the BNP will be fielding just over 200 candidates in next month's elections – nearly 500 fewer than the in 2007. It said it "was having to cut its cloth" because of the amount of money it had had to spend defending a legal action against the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).

Hope not Hate said: "As his party crumbles, Nick Griffin has been forced to turn to what even by BNP standards, is a hard core of neo-Nazis and racists. These are not just activists, but people Griffin is putting forward as candidates for elected public office. They are literally the best the BNP now has to offer."

Hope not Hate, which is funded by the trades union movement, said the party had become hopelessly split – with many members defecting to the English Democrats and the breakaway party British Freedom Party.

The BNP has been engaged in a long-running court battle with the EHRC over its policy of restricting membership to "indigenous British people". It scrapped the rule but the Commission accused Mr Griffin of failing to comply with an order to remove potentially racist clauses from his party's constitution. In December Mr Griffin fought off an attempt to have him declared guilty of contempt of court at the High Court – which rejected the EHRC's attempt to seize the party's assets. Costs were awarded to the BNP but deputy leader Simon Darby said the battle had affected its ability to recruit members and had cost a huge amount in legal fees which had yet to be reimbursed.

Mr Darby said: "Unlike the Labour Party we cannot afford to be £19m in debt and we have had to cut our cloth accordingly." He said the unsavoury postings could be fakes to discredit the party.

'BNP postings' on Facebook
  • "7/7 – keep trying ya raghead bastards. This is our country our England our rules. Time2 packup and get the fuck out of dodge."
  • "Fly your flag! no excuses. We stock them. £5 to piss off your Muslim neigbours off big style. What a fucking bargain."
  • "Going to the polling station was aday out for the lazy African population as they don't work."
  • "Unless we stand up and are counted then it's bye bye England."

Are we surprised? The BNP gets more desperate as each day goes by.

Could be but they're probably not!

So according to Mr Darby we 'hack' into facebook, post fake postings on BNP members pages, and the individuals concerned do not report these 'fake' postings to facebook and it s business as usual for the BNP members concerned,

Funny that.

'Pigs can fly and the earth is flat' come to mind, or is it case of more 'porkies' from our chumps, the BNP. It is 100%, the latter in this case for certain. They are consistent if nothing else.

Griffin is a state asset who has been told by his handlers to finish the party off to avoid winning seats in the proportional representation elections to the Welsh Assembly etc.
To do this he has been promoting porn stars, sticking up for thugs in south wales to get rid of a councillor, paying Harrington and his wife mish bondage more than Arthur Kemp, who was popular and promoting Nazis.
His reward is protection from prosecution for financial mismanagement and he keeps the profits from them.

Griffin has tweeted that Adam Walker has been arrested.

I think the BNP were quite capable of fucking everything up themselves without help from the State.

Even the BNP grassroots know what lying little toerags their leaders are, of course we at UAF don't need to be told!

Decent nationalists have woken up to the true nature of the BNP, and have gone on to pastures new. That has scratched off the always thin veneer of "respectability" of the BNP. All that is left are those who don't mind or don't realise that they are being taken to the cleaners, and the hard-core racists.

The BNP really are the dregs of society. Britain's worst, squeezed into a shrinking, disintegrating party like rats clinging to the side of a sinking ship.

Just seen the BNP Welsh Assembly election broadcast. Contains one fake "vicar", the "Rev" West - him of no recognised denomination or church.

The rest is fake too. The BNP seem incapable of linking one idea to another without going off at some irrelevant tangent. Freud would have a field day!

What kind of 'decent nationalist' would join the BNP in the first place?

I've just checked out the Nazzers current video electioneering effort. It really is worth watching; and it may well be there last: we have a skinhead granny, a "vicar" in a yellow waistcoat, a "that's life" parody, and much more.

Anyroad, here's the whole sorry episode, watch it an laugh!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu0K365o3N8&feature=player_embedded#at=143

Gri££o looks even more awful than ever - the content all about their 10% handback - with lots of alleged handback - I hate to say where are the accounts - but let's see the accounts for that!

I suspect it's all crap!

P.S. buying the canoes to keep kids off street corners - I deeply suspect they haven't even been used since the RWB!

P.P.S Beginning to sound like letters I used to write as a teenager with more P.S.'s than content but Griffo looks wasted has he been buying from Jefferson?

Griffin has tweeted that Adam Walker has been arrested.

Rumour was that it was for a threatening letter sent to Wakefield Council but it turns out it was for a traffic offence followed by some littering.

No doubt the BNP will claim it's a politically motivated arrest ordered by Mossad/FBI/MI5 to scotch the BNP's election chances next month. The BNP internally are predicting a very poor vote and are preparing excuses already.

You wouldn't ever get a BNP organiser in the North West giving it the old 1488 meeting and greeting to people on Facebook would you?
Oh no. his account has been hacked no doubt.

Surely they've not lost their sense of conviction....... criminal and ideological!

A few bad apples?

The whole BNP barrel is rotten to the core!

I've just watched the youtube link of the Welsh BNP PPB.
Why are they obsessed with gritting? Is it because Griffin got snowed in and couldn't get his papers posted in time for the Oldham by-election where he would have won and triggered the mass uprising of new donaters?

B31 Antifascist said...

John, I haven't seen the PEB but as the BNP will try to infiltrate the most mundane of topics, like the weather, I am not surprised.

In any case, we all know al-Qaeda and the Taliban make their money from heroin and grit, the BNP should be well aware of this as it's no542 in their book of tall tales.

In regard of Alfie's link... It's sickening that the police in that article seem to be blaming the victims. Fucking typical.

Just had a look at James Nelson Crescent in Trench on google earth street view and there is a house on that street with England flags displayed in the window and on the front door. I'm not saying that one automatically leads to the other and they are probably completely innocent, but the Police may consider starting enquiries there.
