Nick Griffin yesterday branded Gurkhas "mercenaries" who should not be allowed to stay in Britain.The leader of the far-right British National Party said: "We don't think the most overcrowded country in Europe, can realistically say, 'Look, you can all come and all your relatives.' When the Gurkhas signed up - frankly as mercenaries - they expected a pension which would allow them to live well in their own country.
"Because of economic development in Nepal, the British Army pension isn't now enough for them to be able to do that. It would be cheaper for us and probably far better for the Gurkhas to say, 'Why don't we just increase your pension so that more of you can live in Nepal rather than coming to Britain?'"
Griffin made the comments on Nicky Campbell's BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast show.
Martin Howe, solicitor to the Gurkhas, said: "Nick Griffin is wrong. He does not recognise the depth of feeling around the country that this is a debt of moral honour and gratitude."
Griffin also claimed football stars Rio Ferdinand, Theo Walcott and David James are not English. And when Campbell asked if he would let his daughter bring a black man home, he said: "I would be disappointed."

I'm afraid this is the one time I have to disagree with my party.
ReplyDeleteI had a wonderful time with young Asian men when I "taught" in Thailand.
They're always welcome in my heart.
How odd that the BNP seems to have completely missed the public mood over the Gurkhas. A small faux pas but one that speaks volumes.
ReplyDeleteSick racist bastard.
ReplyDeleteMind you, the real reason Herr gri££in hates these soldiers is because they fought against the Axis forces in World War II. The BNP do after all, love Adolf Hitler, let's not forget!
Searchlight, please include these comments as a late edition to your election material.
ReplyDeleteThis one-eyed racist twat must be defeated!
Nick Griffin is a fucking mercenary.
ReplyDeleteShame on the bastard!
He will lose the election and hopefully when he dies, rot in hell!
bang bang can Osswoski run faster than a speeding bullet ?????? haha i hope not cos i have one with his name on it ! the rise of the south will begin !bye bye precious leader

ReplyDeleteMore threats, yet. Yawn...
So what is it that makes you English - Arthur Kemp does not have a British mother or father (that is not born in the UK) nor was he born in the UK, so why exactly should he be there? Is his white skin enough? Why is the country not too crowded for him but is too crowded for someone who is possible third of fourth generation born in Britain but happens to have a darker pigmentation of their skin.
ReplyDeleteOh and then they are not racist? What exactly is it then?
This blog must be really hitting home when the death threats start getting nuttier.
ReplyDeleteNo wander genocidal nutjob Copeland was a member of the BNP. Despite what Nick Griffin claims, many BNP members are violent thugs intent upon crushing free speech and opposition with ultraviolence.
Thanks for leaving the death threats online, Ketlan and Denise. It's always a useful guage of how dangerous the BNP are, and why we must keep on until the BNP are totally and utterly destroyed with absolutely no let up!
True about Kemp, it's a measure of the party's hypocrisy that white immigrants are favoured over British black and Asian people!
ReplyDeleteMost would-be BNP voters still think somehow absurdly that the BNP are in favour of allowing the Gurkhas to settle in Britain, especially in Stoke: -

I hope Searchlight will let the voters know what Cyclop's views are about not letting them settle, and calling them "mercanries", if it's not too late, and the latest doorstep editions of Searchlight have already gone to print.
"Rise of the South?"
ReplyDeleteWhat's Lee Barnes on???
Fascists like the BNP have always secretly said that they would put the backs against the walls of all political opponents and murder them with machine guns Franco/Mussulini/Hitler style. The illiterate but dangerous BNP have proved they are no less murderous in their intent!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the death threats have scored an own goal for the Adolf Hitler-loving BNP!
ReplyDeleteCan google chase the IP address of the culprit of the death threats, so they can be banged up safely in the clink where they undoubedtly belong, slopping out smelly buckets of shit!
ReplyDeleteThe BNP talk continuously about "bringing back things"...
ReplyDeletecorporal punishment, capital punishment, national service etc.
I say we bring back old-style mental hospitals, the ones the public called "loony bins".
The purveyor of the inane death threat against Ketlan should be straitjacketed, administered a mind-numbing psychiatric drug with plenty of troubling side effects, and have a sadistic male nurse wearing lubricated rubber gloves inspect his unbalanced anal cavity.
Most racists are mentally ill!
ReplyDeleteHow is this not racism against Asians?
ReplyDeleteI hear on the grapevine that at last nights Assembly meeting in B & D Dicky stated that he totally disagreed with Nick Griffins statement and that he Dicky fully supported the Gurkhas staying in this country.
ReplyDeleteMind you his Leader Little Bob took a totally different view and stated that Nick Griffin never made the statement in the first place, and that he Little Bob believed that the Gurkhas which he claims to have served with were magnificent men, but, he is firmly of the mind that we should give them a good enough pension so that they can live well in their own country.
Did warn you some little while ago that the splits are starting to show between Dicky and Little Bob

just for your info Lee Barnes has been undergoing this treatment for in excess of 18 months now, the only problem is that it is on a voluntary basis allegedly, so when he feels a wee bit better he discharges himself, then we get to sit back watch his blog, and see him spiralling into madness all over again.

As long as those gloves are lubricated, you're more than welcome to have reach around my psycholoy.
