Griffin and BNP strategy

Or class politics. Or indeed any politics at all presumably? This bigging up of a cross class, cross party, eccentricity coupled with a pronounced faith in the ridiculous Lancaster UAF, reinforces the General's position as the strong man of the conservative left, at least on this site. Outside of Cr's wilder excesses of ore, has anyone ever appeared so consistently inconsistent and ridiculous?

How bizarre how bizarre Joe - lying as well, you are the wierd ultra left headbanger.

I have nothing to do with or faith in Lancaster UAF.
 
1. Where is the class poltics? Just saying it's there doesn't make it so.

2. If you don't think the New Labour piece is spin, then my previous comment about you living in a 'through the looking glass world' is even truer than I thought.

3. What are the illusions I'm full of; let's have some detail rather than mere assertion.

4. I do not see the IWCA as 'some sort of new left by itelf'. Indeed I have said this numerous times before on these boards; it's one way forward, not the way.

5. I do not have a teleological view of change; indeed I have argued against such a view in lectures, seminars, conference presentations and published articles..oh and on here.

6. I do not incessantly big up the IWCA (religously or otherwise...I reserve my fevour for bigging up running http://www.dpfr.org.uk/album/2008/Skyline/slides/l10%20357.php:)); although sometimes I do try to correct some of your more outlandish posts...see above.

Cheers - Louis MacNeice


really - what articles are those. I did not know you had written anything at all.

You and others such as Joe are clearly guilty of bigging up the IWCA as if they had some sort of good politics. Get over it. DO something else as well and operate outside their stupid loop, otherwise you are guilty of old left politics - the illusion that one group is OK.

There is class politics. If you can't spot it you are more stupid than you appear.

If the Labour doc is spin you are the libertarian spin master for the IWCA.

This wouldn't be you then:

"It is a mistake to underestimate these people [Lancaster UAF] I think Jim. The article you refer too is sensible as you said."

Still no substance, just more accusation and assertion; all of which is a bit odd seeing as how the IWCA doesn't interest you at all.

That is irrelevant and shows your desperation and fascination with MY politics - i really am not that interested to that extent. Do you keep 'enemies of old left' files on people? You lot should have more open minds than you do.

I said it was a mistake to underestimate them, that is way different from having ANY political support for them, same goes for saying saying 1 article of theirs is 'sensible'. I didn't say it was any good:p Dear me - you are getting wierd with this line of approach.
 
Three of those 'hard left' councillors were originally elected on the Labour ticket and only declared themselves as independents in 2004. HTH.
 
Hi durruti02,

what I find even more worrying is the people that say that they voted for BNP as a protest vote. If people that would never dream of voting for BNP decide to vote for them that certainly IS cause for concern.

Roxy641

yes mate totally .. and the worrying thing is that this 'protest' vote can be used my griffin and recycled into real fascism .. i find it hard to believe that is possible .. BUT if things get economically far worse ( a possibility ) then maybe ..
 
Back to the elections, 12 standing in Nuneaton, 4 in Swindon

Nominations close friday
12 in nuneaton is a lot .. ex mining town though possibly white flight from cov .. anyone now much about the place?? .. except used to be the second biggest non league team! 20k ground and all
 
Well I'm glad butchers that you didn't want me derailing the thread. I mean the childish crap posted above is clearly very important.

And wait a minute a newsflash coming in. Apparently the BNP are doing well. Knock me down with a feather.
 
While Griffin might usually have his head screwed on the nut jobs are still in there with the BNP:

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/stand...+sacked+over+'rape+is+a+myth'+blog/article.do

A senior BNP official has been sacked as a London Assembly election candidate after the Evening Standard revealed how he had described rape as a "myth" and said "some women are like gongs - they need to be struck regularly".

But it's ok because:

BNP deputy leader Simon Darby called the Standard-story a "smear" and said Mr Eriksen'sremarks had been taken " completely out of context".

Indeed this is clearly taken out of context:

To suggest that rape, when conducted without violence, is a serious crime is like suggesting force-feeding a woman chocolate cake is a heinous offence. A woman would be more inconvenienced by having her handbag snatched.

Nominations had to be in a few minuites ago, so am sure will find out soon enough where they are standing

Nick Knowles blog on the Searchlight website is doing a far more rapidly updated total than I can

it appears bradford bnps NOT doing so well - BNP struggling to find candidates and another far right fringe group is standing 9 candidates against the BNP's 8, and in the same wards...

North West candidates
Here's the North West tally so far:

Liverpool 11

St Helens 10

Sefton 6

Wirral 2

Knowsley 2


And also 6 in Salford.
 
Can't find it - i can see it saying they've heard 6 in bradford though, that's why i was asking.

All these are provisional i think anyway, nominees not officially published till tuedsay.

as to reducted numbers, there were over 10,000 seats up for grabs last year, about 4,000 this year, and no elections is a whole swathe of where they are organised

and of course, their internal splits have hit them hard in some areas, that is obvoius. however, their key wards will generally be covered
