Nick Griffin says the BNP do NOT want an all-white UK

Strange fella that Nick Griffin, he has an amazing ability to talk absolute shite that sounds just about intelligent enough so that people with an IQ of less than 60 think he is talking sense.

On the Andrew Marr show he has now claimed that the BNP have realised that an all-white Britain just isn't possible. But not because they are no longer racist morons, but because

Nobody out there wants it or would pay for it

Which I love, because it pretty much ends a large proportion of what his party stands for in this strange realisation that nobody actually wants it. If you don't know, the BNP constitution is fundamentally racist, as I went though last month. As such the very essence of this party is the 'purification' of the races - or folks as they like to call it - of the British Isles. So by saying they no longer want this is tantamount to giving up.

Except it's complete bollocks. The constitution remains and the exclusion of non-whites is still the core of it. It also states that they are against white people having children with anyone of any other colour. So, basically, whites only

Griffin would like you to believe this is the new BNP logo

Stalin and Hitler. Two fine upstanding citizens of the world who simply wanted to make it a better place. Or not. Griffin refutes he is a fascist and that anyone who claims this is simply smearing him, which would be terrible. The thing is the BNP are a strange mix of Stalin and Hitler, they have the race obsessed doctrines of the right mixed with left wing economic policies.

The two men were also, as much as they were abhorrent people, superb at convincing the population to believe them and do what they said. Much of this was fear of course, but in the early years it was much more to do with strength of will and knowing what to say and how to say it coupled with, most importantly, what not to say.

Griffin has none of this and consistently reveals his inadequacies as a politician. In this interview he has blagged his way through some rubbish about no longer wanting some sort of Ayrian brotherhood in this country, made up of the kinfolk of these ancient shores of course. To the untrained eye or some normal, ignorant chap who happened to have the BBC on it may have seemed plausible.

Then he put his foot in it.

Last week he made the quite amazing announcement that people who get on boats in North Africa in a bid to reach Italy and a new life should have their 'boats' blown out of the water. John looked at this in a very good article. This is all part of the new and quite terrifying international position the good people of Yorkshire have given him at the EU.

He can now talk endless racial rubbish in a new found international context, playing with the other extremists that have been given a voice such as the Northern League in Italy. Rather than say this, let it die down and use the Marr Show to put across a nicer position, rather than bat Marr's question away with a joke or something, he said this.

What needs to be done as an example is to sink a couple of boats near the shores of Libya - throw them lifebelts so they can paddle back, so they understand they will never get to Europe. Because the alternative is accepting that Britain eventually is going to end up like Africa.

Well done, you have shed the pretence of the new age, all the colours of the rainbow and revealed your true self.

So, 'near the shores of Libya'. Really Nick? Because that would mean an act of war in Libyan territorial waters wouldn't it you dick. The 200 miles off the coast is known as the Exclusive Economic Zone and under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea a coastal country "cannot regulate or prohibit passage or loitering above, on, or under the surface of the sea, whether innocent or belligerent, within that portion of its exclusive economic zone beyond its territorial sea". The first 12 miles are territorial waters and this is why migrants head for the tiny Italian island of Lampedusa.

Basically the whole idea is illegal under international law, a law which, if broken, would have massive consequences. Either the Libyans do it in their waters, or the Italians do in their's, the EU has no power to do anything at all any further than 12 miles from Lampedusa. A bit far to paddle home and would actually become Italy's problem.

My favourite has to be 'so they can paddle back'. Classic stuff. Paddle? How close to Libya is he planning this act of aggression because we're getting pretty close to invading Tripoli here. Once the small raft is blown out of the water by a gunship the migrants will simply be thrown a lifebelt and they can shout 'Thanks, see you again tomorrow', and swim off. I'm not sure if they have to pay for the lifebelt though.

And of course, the biggy. If we don't blow up this 'boats' that are carrying illegal migrants from Libya to Italy, Britain will 'end up like Africa'. The absurdity of this comment is one a whole new level.

It is quite common, of course, for them to get to Lampedusa, then claim asylum. Then after being kept in the camp there for a few months and arriving in southern Italy they often trek all the way through Europe, all the way to Calais. Then they either apply again to the UK and spend another few months in a camp, or get in a lorry. Honest.

If we don't start blowing these fuckers up and let them paddle home, we're in a right old two and eight and that's a fact.

The man is a moron. But who's worse, the fool or those that believe him?
