Nick Griffin, head of the British National Party, is one of the most despicable people in England. And now hopefully, if anything is sacred, he'll be arrested, charged, and put in jail. I believe the maximum sentence is 7 years. 7 well deserved years.

BNP LEADER ARRESTED
The leader of the British National Party has been arrested following a TV documentary exposing the extent of racism in the organisation.
Nick Griffin, 45, was arrested on suspicion of incitement to commit racial hatred as part of an investigation into the BBC programme Secret Agent.

Never heard of him.
Anyway, he can't be as bad as Harold Wilson was.

Less than a year ago. Where the BBC agent went undercover. I thought the interview with Griffin afterwards was comical. The poor guy had no idea they were going to air that documentary. Hell, he probably didn't know it existed.

His arrest is the 12th in connection with the investigation into the BBC documentary.
Wow!!!
The BNP really got hit hard by that. I remember the guy who claimed to start the Bradford riots got arrested, along with a few of his cronies. I thought it was 6 or 7 who got arrested, but no problem, the more the merrier.

Especially after claiming that they were no longer the racist, violent party they used to be. People almost believed them. I think in the local elections they got some 800'000 votes!

For those interested in:
a) Joining the BNP (you have gotta be kidding)
b) Having a good laugh (i.e me)
Read this. The enlightened chairman of the BNP explains his policies. I quite liked one bit where he said "we're not racist, but we must take care not to become multi-racist":confused:

I looked at the link to their site you put and read the report they gave on the arrest. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Are they on the same planet as the rest of us?
I particularly enjoyed "four stormtroopers of the Blairite regime" as a description for a bunch of coppers.

its either a sad state of our political system if so many people are duped into voting for a party like that, or see no viable alternative (not that there is one to outright racism of course). That, or its a fantastic propogana machine on behalf of the BNP.
Either way Nick Griffin deserves to be locked up.

Last year a load of National Front newspapers (The Flame? can't remember what it's called) were shoved through letter boxes in my area.
The National Front were effectively superceded by the BNP years ago, and I believe they're down to about 40 members. Lots of people told the paper how offended and disgusted they felt, but it gave me about an hour of some truly classic British comic reading time.
They claim they're not racist, but that all people of other races should be deported because it's unnatural and unhealthy for people to move around the world and inter-breed (ethnicity is a natural balance, don't you know).
They also have a particular hatred for Lord Sainsbury, amusingly enough, and even printed a copy of an advert for Sainsbury's bank, which showed a black groom and white bride together, thus committing the mortal sin of MIXED RACE MARRIAGE!!!!!

We cannot confirm that Nick Griffin’s planned contest of David Blunkett’s constituency of Sheffield Brightside at the next general Election played any part in the Home Secretary’s decision to arrest Mr. Griffin.
Pffffft! :D

Three cheers for the BBC!

the bnp website has some quality comic material, I'll justgive you my personal fav
http://www.bnp.org.uk/news_detail.php?newsId=78
"By these appalling actions, which are intended to disrupt the party’s operations and to intimidate both active members and supporters, Blunkett has revealed himself to be the fascist monster that we have long suspected.
Now his mask has slipped and in desperation the Labour regime is trying to silence political opponents about the very perilous situation that Britain now faces. The BNP repeats the feelings of the substantial majority of Britons who recognise the very real threat due to the growing influence of militant Islam in our green and pleasant land.
Arresting political opponents is a dangerous provocation. This along with the blatant fraud and fiddling that accompanied the European elections, denying the BNP a bank account by forcing Barclays and HSBC to close our accounts and now arrests of BNP members is a dangerous route for the Blairite regime. "

"How do you explain to a ten year old that her father has been arrested and taken away to the police cells for making a political statement?"
This from the guy who would kick all blacks out of the country. Those that refused he says should be killed. Now lets rephrase that shall we?
"How do you explain to a ten year old that her father has been shot repeatedly and taken away to a morgue for being black?"
Thats better;)
"While this is a disgraceful attempt by the fascist regime of Blair and Blunkett"

No, I don't. If it wasn't for him, Mugabe would never have come to power. Of course, the 'anticommunist' (sarcasm) US is just as guilty, especially sleazy traitor Jimmy Carter.
