What Now for the BNP?

HnH say that Brons will be announcing his new party today. Treat with usual caution.

It's basically the Democratic Nationalists, who've been running in local elections in west yorkshire for a while now. The most high-profile thing they've done so far is run a candidate against George Galloway in the Bradford West bye-election.

Didn't think Brons had the ambition for another crack at things at his age, and with the state the BNP is in. I suppose that EU money is better than teaching though.
 
Not really about Brons though, about how the rest of the scene jump and who - if anyone - emerges with broad support for a wider regroupment. As you say, it ain't going to be Brons.
 
I still don't think a wider regroupment's going to happen in the near future. Infact I think all the falling out and infighting hasn't even reached it's peak yet. The EDL still has a lot more imploding to do.

I suspect that the first group to make a definitive positive move will attract members from the remaining groupsicles, and take the lead so to speak. Out of the long list of groups now in existence on the far-right, which would you say at this moment in times, stands the best chance of leading this "wider regroupment?"

I don't think there's going to be one.
 
got to agree with delroy here, the EDL are just starting to implode. griffin is retiring next year remember and he has been hanging on - with a few token attempts to court disenfranchised EDLers that failed - whilst he milks what he can out of the BNPs reluctant epididymis.
 
im expecting the usual euphoria and rapidly following depression with this one but quite a few of the ex-bnp have been stating that brons is a viable leader - he is quite avuncular despite being a vile racist with a pretty bad history! - and he has edmonds on board who although is a nutter has considerable experience and support. however ,what makes them different from all the others, ie, bnp, fluffyies, ED etc. and wheres the money coming from?
 
hell hath no fury like a fascist scorned! from batty lee barnes re: BNP annual non-conference. the long haired tosspot makes sense for once!
1. Why have we lost 3/4 of our members since 2009?
2. Why has the BNP gone from 60 plus councillors to 3 (that's non parish councillors, especially non-elected ones)?
3. Why have most of the leading activists, writers and organisers left for a variety of pastures new?
4. Why has the Red, White & Blue which attracted some 1,500 people not been staged since 2009?
5. Why is there only the very occasional meeting being reported compared to five years ago when dozens attracting a hundred plus were being reported.
6. Why did HnH and the far left not even bother to mount demos against this year's BNP AGM?
7. Why did this year's AGM only attract half the attendance that Nick Griffin got when he addressed Northants BNP in 2007?
 
I picked up a sodden BNP leaflet yesterday (there's a bye election round my way, I wasn't in my ward they wouldn't fucking dare round here).

btw the candidate "declined" to show at the main hustings event.

I can't scan it in, it's too fucked from rain. Will try and find an online incarnation but made some effort without success.

Content wise it's interesting because it only mentions "immigrants" once. It mentions "local" lots of times. It's very much after the fashion and style of any other party leaflet.

Keep in mind : This is the main city of the region where their only MEP hopes to keep a seat.

This speaks to me very much of a twin track approach :

Griffin is hoping to do what so few achieve - unite the far right, even if it's just for one X on one day 18 months hence. To do this he crops up like a bad smell around the sort of issues they fraternise - muslim paedophiles, terrible gay people who have the nerve to not like prejudice, occasional kind words for Cokeboy Lennon and his gaggle (amidst the sneering).

Only anti-fash notice this kind of thing very much. Most voters won't. The aim is probably to show tone things down to a minimum, the heart logo is probably part of the same thinking.

For all those who have deserted, they still seem to have a semi clued in propaganda-meister. Paid?
 
Take action to stop the BNP getting €400,000

In just two weeks’ time the European Parliament will be allocating money to pan-European political parties and their associated think-tanks to assist them with their work. The Alliance of European National Movements (AENM), made up of fascist and racist MEPs from the UK, France, Hungary and Bulgaria, is asking for money. Scandalously it appears that EU’s Secretary General is recommending that they get some.
