It’s not going to happen, but there are mutinous stirrings amongst Nick Griffin’s fascist flock:
- Thirty percent of respondents to poll on far-right website want Nick Griffin to be replaced.
- BNP’s legal officer accuses Griffin of failing to “press the attack” during Question Time (reported earlier this week).
- Baggage from Griffin’s history in the British far-right movement viewed as a stumbling block to the party’s progress, with one member commenting that it will be “impossible to wipe away the endless tired quotes”.
- Deputy leader Simon Darby, London Assembly member Richard Barnbrook (yes, please) and Martin Wingfield, former editor of the BNP’s monthly newspaper, mooted as potential replacements. MEP Andrew Brons hasn’t been in the party long enough.
Scrapbook reckons the party would fracture in two, SSP-stylee, if there were a serious challenge.

Doesn’t surprise me that some of them would be annoyed after he made all that hype beforehand about how he was going to take them on and be a force to be reckoned with etc and then just sat there like… well like a fat, idiotic, fascist.
Ah, yes, Richard Barnbrook, who keeps a copy of “Mein Kampf” under his bed:-

“Fat, idiotic, fascist” sums him up nicely!
Racism begins with our families, parents, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, grandparents, people we admire, respect and love.
However, as we grow and mature we come to the realization that what we were told by our family when we were children were slanted lies base on their prejudices. We realize that most people are like ourselves and not so different and want the same things, like a home, steady work, a Medicare plan and schools for our children (if you travel you will see this). We realize that most people are of good hearts and goodwill.
This reminds me of a parable from the good book where a Levite and Priest come upon a man who fell among thieves and they both individually passed by and didn’t stop to help him.
Finally a man of another race came by, he got down from his beast, decided not to be compassionate by proxy and got down with the injured man, administered first aid, and helped the man in need.
Jesus ended up saying, this was the good man, this was the great man, because he had the capacity to project the “I” into the “thou,” and to be concerned about his fellow man.
You see, the Levite and the Priest were afraid, they asked themselves, “If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?”
But then the Good Samaritan came by. And he reversed the question: “If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?”
That’s the question before us. The question is not, “If I stop to help our fellow man (immigrant) in need, what will happen to me?” The question is, “If I do not stop to help our fellow man, what will happen to him or her?” That’s the question.
This current climate of blaming others for our woes is not new. We have had this before and we have conquered it.
Remember “Evil flourishes when good men (and women) do nothing”. Raise your voices with those of us who believe we are equal and we can win this battle again.
Why are you quoting Jesus when there is no proof he ever existed! There are perfectly good quotes from people who have lived on this earth. Ghandi for instance.
Racism is a deception and has been designed to be divisive and I see it is working – what you really mean is Breedism as we are all from the Human Race (well I am, what race are you again?) …we are all but different breeds.
Breedism is the new Black.
