Euro election result: Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons elected as BNP MEPs.
As everyone seems to love it when we go 'live blogging', including us, we're doing it again tonight for the Euro election results.
Although no-one seems to have any clear idea of which way the vote will go, there is a very real chance that the BNP could pick up a seat. We want to know if that happens as soon as it happens (though we'd much rather hear that Griffin and his nazi chums had failed miserably, of course), so any news re' the Euro's can go in the comments section to this post.
It's unlikely that any results will come through until 10pm at the earliest (though it'll probably be much later), so we'll be on and letting comments through as they arrive from then. See you later, folks. :-)

No BNP in the south east

No seat for the nazis.
BNP 3.9 in the South West - curiously, just ahead of the Pensioners Party (remember them>)
'Paul Morris is returning officer for the South West?'
Fook me! :-D

Bloody hell!
Paul Morris is returning officer for the South West?
Does he still live in a caravan ?

A bit of abuse for the BNP on the announcement of their votes, ha-ha.
No nazis here either.
'Anymore news on the North West?'
Not yet. Put t'kettle on.
01:00 Reporter Andrew Greaves: "A disconsolate-looking Paul Nuttall, UKIP's lead candidate, tells me he's not ruling out calling for a region-wide recount. His figures show there is fewer than 2000 votes between UKIP and the BNP for the eighth seat."

There could be a region wide recount in NW it is so close
Hmm, I just noticed we got 36,447 hits this week - over 7,000 a day. Nice.
I don't think comments after 200 can be seen on the main page now.
Sky says Griffin is in.
Is anything confirmed yet? Please someone tell me Gri££in hasn't got in.
Fucking hell I hope not.
Sky have announced they griffin has won
Not confirmed, but BBC saying "a very high likelihood" of Griffin taking last place.
Taking it all together, where is this tidal wave of BNP support?
Christ, let's hope he hasn't.
Even though it isn't a tidalwave as such, it's still fucking worrying if this is true.
I still hold out hope it isn't though. I won't believe it until it's on the BBC website.
According to Nick Lowles on Hope not hate
"It seems that Nick Griffin has sneaked in in the North West with just 8% of the vote. That means that the BNP only just increased their vote on 2004. However, they got in so that's really disappointing. However, the fight goes on. We will regroup, re-organise and come back stronger than ever."

No nazis here either.
BBC - "very clear that Griffin elected"
Yep, he's got it, the bastard!
North West
BNP - 132,094
They got it. Fat boy is in.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!
I was holding out a sliver of hope that the BNP would split if Gri££in wasn't elected. Damn it.
We need to distribute more leaflets exposing the BNP as a nazi party in Yorkshire and the North West, particuarly areas like Barnsley.
Well, fuckola. Not pleased here. :-(
Cyclops has got what he wanted. He'll be off like a chubby greyhound.
He's your MEP now Ketlan.
You can keep him really busy if you put your mind to it :-)
Shit! And with that I'm off to bed. Perhaps I'll wake up and find it was all a bad dream!
'He's your MEP now Ketlan.'
I'm Jewish. I don't do nazis.
'You can keep him really busy if you put your mind to it :-)'
On the other hand...
Well, this is to every idiot who said they couldn't see a point in voting.
Screw you! and get off your arse next time and don't let a Nazi get elected.
24% turn-out in Manchester is a disgrace.
Griffin seems to be claiming electoral fraud - again.
Screw you! and get off your arse next time and don't let a Nazi get elected.
Well said!
What a pisser. I stay up half the night and a couple of bloody nazis get in. Can I sue the BNP for loss of sleep and my impending high stress levels?
It is up to the entertainment section of the media including stand ups and comedy writers to relentlessly take the piss out of Cyclops until the whole of Britain treats him like the joke he is.
The bend-over-backwards BBC will ensure Andrew Marr gets his interview on a comfortable sofa with Cyclops, allowing him to sprout lots of racist propaganda on the national television service paid for with public money from the licence fee.
All their talking up of the BNP has allowed a self-fulfilling prophecy to happen, meaning the BBC has helped them to electoral success.
Edgar Griffin?
It's the expenses scandal that the BNP sought to exploit.
It's up to the media to publicise how Nick Griffin himself has his hands in the trough, and has stole money from his own members.
The facts and figures are out there. If only the News Of The World was listening.
The story about Griffin and the asbestos is possibly the most damaging for the media to run with.
The one story which needs to be punctured is the inane but repeated comparison between the Asociation of Black Policemen and women, and the all white policies of the BNP.
Journalists need to have an answer to this piece of dogma, as they seem to go quiet as far as digging the dirt, the moment Cyclops comes out with this fetid piece of bullshit.
This ridiculous comparison between an anti-racist association set up to protect black and Asian police from canteen prejudice and bad promotion prospects by no means can be compared to white supremacism which itself is 100% racist.
I happened to watch his bullshit interview, and Cyclops had the gaul to tell journalists not to ask any questions about immigration and repatriation.
The bloody cheek of it.
Who the fuck does Nick Griffin think he is?
God (or Odin, in his case!)
Brons was a member of Colin Jordan's National Socialist Movement, albeit at a very young age, and Searchlight have a letter from him on file somewhere where he's ordering some nazi stickers with swastikas to post up around Yorkshire.
In the NF he had a reputation for being a bit of an intellectual but boring - Martin Webster once nicknamed him Bronsosaurus.
He split with Griffin in 1986 and in the NF publication Attempted Murder he was accused by Griffin and his ally Derek Holland of working for the state. I could post a link if you wish me to but the only place I can find it is at a nazi site and I'm unsure of your rules.
His erstwhile colleagues wondered how he managed to hold down a job as a politics lecturer at Harrogate College whilst being Chair of what was then Britain's best-known Nazi party.
He is not gay, at least he is/was married. In fact he was one of the very few leading NF members who Martin Webster didn't accuse of being in the closet.
If there are any positives to come from tonight it's that having known both Brons and Griffin I would seriously doubt the BNP should be expecting to see much Euro cash from either of these two any time soon. One is as tight as a duck's arse and the other is a conman.
As for Griffin, he aspires to be something he could never be as leader of the BNP. I can see him drifting away and trying to reinvent himself as something from the slightly softer right in the hope of being allowed to come in from the cold. Whether Brons will follow him or not is debatable, but he has all the charisma of a golf ball either way.
Apologies if you knew all this already, just trying to do my civic duty. I hope at least some of this helps.
"Apologies if you knew all this already, just trying to do my civic duty. I hope at least some of this helps."
We appreciate the comment and yes, it's most helpful.
Regarding links to dodgy sites, if you replace the tt in http with **, that should do it.
Frankly, it's a pity more people didn't do their civic duty and get off their arses to vote.
Here it is Ketlan...

I can't find the specific references to Brons but they are there somewhere, and anyway the Griffin faction at the time were convinced to a man that Brons was a police agent.
Just for information, although Griffin signed the introduction the booklet was actually written by Holland.
That picture's top quality. Do you have any more?
My congratulations and thanks to you all. I could not stay up last night but have read through all your posts this morning.
And although I have a smile inside reading your lively comments, I am sick to my stomache that Griffin got a seat.

Unpleasant as it may be, as soon as the economy starts to recover these Fascists will soon disappear, I am sure they only got in due to protest votes, in the meantime lets keep exposing them for what they are & when they fail to deliver their victory will be short-lived....
Gwen....
No, no, no!!!! The resault is really dissgusting.
