Bloodbath for Nick Griffin with BNP set to lose all their seats

UPDATE I: BNP now wiped out on Epping Forest

UPDATE II: They’ve definitely lost every seat contested

A combination of UKIP success and their own unpopularity has hammered the latest nail into Nick Griffin’s political coffin – with the party set to lose all the seats they are defending.

  • The BNP have lost 10 of the 12 seats they are defending — with two to declare
  • For the first time in ten years the party have no councillors in Burnley — they were once the official opposition group in the borough

And with a decision to concentrate resources on the London elections, perhaps the mayoral contest or GLA seats — where the BNP met the threshold of 5% to sieze a seat in 2008 — could provide a lining to that cloud?

Apparently their, erm, South American candidate, referred to simply as “Carlos” in election literature, has been trounced:

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Nick.

Tottenham Court Road ‘bomb’ suspect was BNP candidate

The man accused of threatening a suicide bombing as he stormed an office on Tottenham Court Road was a candidate for the British National Party, Hope Not Hate have revealed. The news leave Nick Griffin with egg on his face – after the BNP leader used the incident to make jokes about Muslim extremists.

In tweets highlighted by Political Scrapbook, griffin said:

“Tottenham Court Road hostage situation. I bought my copy of the Koran there back in 2OO1.”

“If hostage taker angry coz refused HGV licence then won’t be a Muslim bomber. They don’t work!”

“Police say hostage taker is ‘mentally unstable’. No shit, Sherlock!”

The Hertfordshire Mercury profiled suspect Michael Green when he stood for the Stevenage constituency in 2010 — losing his £500 deposit with just 2.3% of the vote.

To compound the irony, Soho nail bomber David Copeland had also been a card-carrying BNP member.

Nick Griffin’s sick anti-Muslim joke on Tottenham Court Road ‘hostages’

With a man reportedly holding four people hostage in central London, the ever-charming Nick Griffin has decided to make light of the situation:

 

It’s easy for MEP Griffin to joke from the safety of Strasbourg or his Welsh pig farm.

BNP exclude their foreign mayor candidate from election broadcast

Yesterday saw the broadcast of the British National Party’s PEB for the London elections — but their candidate for mayor was nowhere to be seen. Could it be because the nationalist party’s candidate is from, errr, South America?

Narrated by Nick Griffin from what sounds like an echoey front room, the only glimpse of Uruguayan Carlos Cortiglia — referred to simply as “Carlos” – is on a leaflet.

“British jobs for British workers” is invoked without a trace of irony.

Ex-model claims “sex pest” Nick Griffin exposed himself to her

A former glamour model has claimed that Nick Griffin exposed himself to her in a car after a fast food binge. Labelling the BNP leader a “sex pest”, Claudia Dagleish was caught off-guard when, on returning from a brief trip to a nearby bin, she allegedly found a semi-naked Griffin adorning the front seat of her Jeep.

The ex-model and BNP supporter — who has been previously subject to a level of airbrushing which would shame even David Cameron — claimed:

“I came back and found Nick Griffin with his… trousers down by his knees. I was shocked and asked him what he was doing … I was disgusted. He was excited. I ordered him out of the car. He is a sex pest.”

Ms Dalgleish claims says she was subject to a campaign of sexual harassment which included text messages. The North West MEP attempted to woo the former BNP activist thusly:

“Do you know the French side of the tunnel? And be aware that it’s very hot over here so you don’t need to wear very much.”

“That’s a given. As is checking that your legs feel as silky as they look.”

And in response to a normal request, he reportedly responded:

“There goes the dominatrix side again. No need to insist, though on this occasion I will do as ordered. And only stop if told to.”

Scrapbook is left wondering what greasy gourmet would serve as the aphrodisiac for such impulsive actions.

Hacked emails “reveal meeting” between Nick Griffin and Ron Paul

A cache of emails and private messages obtained by hacking group Anonymous reveal Nick Griffin may have had a meeting with Republican candidate Ron Paul at a conference in Washington DC. These messages from a white supremacist group are the latest blow to Paul, who has spent much of this week continuing to disavow racist newsletters printed in his name in the nineties.

Hackers infiltrated the website of the racist American Third Position Party (A3P) and an affiliated message board, WhiteNewsNow. The data dump which followed suggests Paul’s campaign team and A3P share more members than he’d like to admit.

In private messages, A3P webmaster, active Ron Paul campaigner and renowned white-nationalist Jamie Kelso boasts to supporters that he has a number of “buddies” in the Paul Camp, including Jeff Imbar, who he describes as Paul’s “#2 man in Illinois.” Imbar is a member of A3P and senior staff member at WhiteNewsNow.

In another message, Kelso outlines details of his plans to attend the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington DC with Nick Griffin, and that he/they would be meeting Ron Paul on the trip.

“We’ll be meeting up with Nick Griffin on Wednesday night … a few of us. I let Nick know about the CPAC … Nick loved the idea of getting to this … since there will be 10,000+ right-wing White folks [there] … Ron Paul will be there Fri. afternoon. Want to meet up with him?”

Kelso, who can be seen here trying to convert moderate Republicans to his racist worldview at CPAC 2011, acted as Griffin’s “fixer” for his 2010 jolly to the colonies. He paid for Griffin’s plane tickets and, according to one hacked email, tried to sneak his entourage into the conference on subsidised student tickets.

Paul has form when it comes to accepting help from racists. During his 2008 presidential run, he took a $500 donation from the founder of the white supremacist Stormfront website, whose motto is “White Pride, Worldwide” and ignored widespread pressure for him to return the cash.

Unfortunately for our Nick, it seems A3P’s affection for him has cooled somewhat of late, with one member complaining that Griffin was “being stupid with producers of granny porn.”

Former deputy leader of BNP accused of million-pound expenses fraud

In the latest instance of financial difficulties rocking the now fragmented BNP, Richard Barnbrook, London Assembly member and former deputy leader of the party, has been accused of defrauding the Greater London Authority and the taxman to the tune of £1 million in order to finance his office costs and staff at City Hall.

Now expelled from the BNP in Nick Griffin’s purge of his rivals, the allegations against Barnbrook can be added to the catalogue of cases, which have accompanied the party’s shrinking support and parlous finances. These include embarrassingly running out of money mid campaign during last year’s Welsh Assembly elections and a raft of court cases resulting from unpaid invoices.

The party is reeling. It’s time to deliver the knockout blow.

Nick Griffin tells the nativity story

With the British National Party hanging over a financial abyss, our opportunities to laugh at Nick Griffin may soon be rationed. Let’s squeeze one more into 2011, with a reprise of Nick Griffin’s bizarre rendition of the nativity story:

An evil man stroking a cat.

Does he remind anyone else of Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld?
