NICK GRIFFIN BOOTED UPSTAIRS IN BNP: THE FACTS BEHIND THE SPIN?

[Larry O'Hara]

I am slightly surprised there has been no thread here so far on the recent palace coup inside the BNP against Nick Griffin. Those involved may want to keep a lid on it (including Griffin) and the Hope Not Hate clowns think it might be cosmetic: but the rest of us have no reason to buy into this cosy theme of denial. The take by yours truly on events can be found here: http://www.borderland.co.uk/index.p...ts-booted-upstairs-facts-behind-the-spin.html

Comments welcome...

Cheers Larry - it was fairly blatant he'd been booted (that 'the decision was mine and mine alone' line was a dead giveaway) but it's good to have some detail.

he is 'spending time with his family' (in his croatian holiday home, counting up his savings).

Is the move of their administration to Nuneaton off now? I live there. Alwyn Deacon only got 71 votes in the last local election here

Does anyone know if any other UK political parties have "Presidents"? I can't think of any.

by this time next year the bnp will be lucky to have 2,400 members.

i'll say one thing for nick griffin, he's got personality and while i wouldn't call nick griffin a clean animal, personality goes a long way. the other no-hopers in the party have neither charisma nor a clew.

It's attempt at being a celebrity chef that did it.

The war on fat is over – and I won

The killjoys can eat humble pie. Dairy and red meat fats aren't bad for you – and now there are hard figures to back up the case I've been making for years

exactly: but that he was/is surrounded by epigones in itself says something about his political limitations.

 

[malatesta32]

remains clueless re: dr who stuff (goes on to the breakfast thread instead).
re: BNP membership. i think they have about 1300 left.
