The EDL may have started stealing their press, but today the BNP made a bold move to reclaim their limelight. As their leader appeared in court, the party’s huge support gathered outside to show they were still a political force of note. It was humbling to see at least 15 people gather for at least 25 minutes outside the home of the terrified establishment.
Nick Griffin’s in court because 18 months ago it was ruled that the BNP’s membership clause was discriminatory and racist. WHAT BULLSHIT, HUH?! He was brought before the High Court after he failed to obey a county court ruling in the case and so the Equality and Human Rights Commission wanted him punished by either a hefty fine or the seizure of assets to stop the party functioning.

I don’t know how the party are in trouble, because where ever the BNP go these days they seem to be picking up new young friends. It may look like this Unite Against Fascism protester is telling the old BNP fellow to fuck off and die, but in reality he was asking where to get one of those awesome pin badges. And the BNP skinhead looming in the background? It may look as though he sleeps with a shotgun in his hand and is gleefully imagining beating that young non-racist with a copy of Mein Kampf made out of Pakistani peoples’ bones, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
A minor celebrity amongst fascist crazies, Richard Barnbrook, then made a short appearance. He was expelled from the BNP after failing to topple Griffin in a leadership coup and has since been become a pariah. After half an hour of constant heckling by the UAF he was then asked to leave by his previous friends for making THEM look bad. BTW: Think you’ve seen that, the-world’s-gone-mad-but-what-can-you-do? pose before? You have.
“This country’s sense of justice is upside down” etc.
This is a UAF member offering the BNP £1000. I don’t think he was really offering him it, I think he was hinting at something to do with the BNP committing electoral fraud. Which, considering how many seats they lost at the last election, must have been some shitty fraud.
That’s some strong re-branding by the BNP and it certainly appeals to my lovey-dovey liberal values. However, if I was in the BNP and I was losing all my votes to the EDL, I wouldn’t rebrand myself as a party of patriotic pussies, I’d aggressively reclaim the big white racist vote by reverting to ol’ faithful.
Also, campaigning to have Christmas moved to June isn’t going to go down well with British traditionalists.
Phwoar! The numbers may be dwindling, but the BNP still know how to fishhook the babes.
YOU GO GRIFFIN! WHILE CAMERON AND CLEGG ARE GAYING UP A DICK-STORM IN PARLIAMENT, THE BNP’S BIG GUY IS OUT THERE ON THE STREETS FINGER-BANGING ANGLO-SAXON BEAUTIES!
As Griffin went in to court everything got a bit quiet, so the UAF started shouting: “Follow your leader – shoot yourself like Adolf Hitler!”. The BNP replied with, “Follow your leader, shoot yourself like Karl Marx”. Oh dear. But while they may be predictably bad at history, when it comes to subversive, comedic politicking, the BNP are streets ahead of the competition – as evidenced by this guy above. He came dressed as Andy from Little Britain, subtly reclaiming the stupid and the parochial of this great nation from the hands of gay comic degenerates.
Griffin won the court case but in doing so has completely bankrupted the party so really he hasn’t won at all. It sounds like the beginning of the end of the BNP, which is a shitter, because as far as snide low-risk political blogs go, the BNP are the gift that keep giving.
