Damn! Too early for me.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Thursday, 21 April 2005 14:25 (twenty years ago)

I think I'm opposed to PPBs generally, but in the interests of free speech etc. maybe this is just as legitimate as any other party?

― $V£N! (blueski), Thursday, 21 April 2005 14:27 (twenty years ago)

I probably won't be home in time either but am tempted to watch just to be able to hear their thinking and then almost certainly deride it afterwards. I'm sure plenty of other people will be doing just this though.

― $V£N! (blueski), Thursday, 21 April 2005 14:29 (twenty years ago)

ITV showing it later tonight too.
I don't believe it will convince anyone to vote for them who wouldn't have already.

― beanz (beanz), Thursday, 21 April 2005 14:35 (twenty years ago)

I've just found out I have a BNP candidate in my constituency. Hardly a surprise - we have a double whammy of high profile MP (the speaker) and Sighthill/Red Road flats, where a large community of asylum seekers lives.

Apparently it is soundtracked by folk music written by N1ck Gr1ff1n!!

there's one for the area i'll be voting in (not my current borough of residence) but that's a safe Tory haven anyway.

― $V£N! (blueski), Thursday, 21 April 2005 15:21 (twenty years ago)

Knick "Gryphon" came to Maidenhead to launch their campaign. I believe they stood on the bridge.

Why are we hiding his name? Don't we want random googlers?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Thursday, 21 April 2005 15:57 (twenty years ago)

It was apocalyptic nonesense. The music sucked.

― Masked Gazza, Thursday, 21 April 2005 16:22 (twenty years ago)

i don't remember the B-N-P TV election ad in 2001, but remember in 1997 they had filmed overlooking "the White Cliffs" of Dover - and mentioning the country had changed over the last 40 to 50 years.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 21 April 2005 16:23 (twenty years ago)

I would like to see Jeremy Paxman interview Griffin.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 21 April 2005 16:25 (twenty years ago)

The last part was Griffin making "stirring" speeches about telling the truth in or out of jail. The Martyr Approach.

― Masked Gazza, Thursday, 21 April 2005 16:27 (twenty years ago)

Ripe for pisstake.

Anyone who wants to see it again can visit the BNP website if they so desire. Please bear in mind that they will doubtless flaunt the however many thousands of hits they get in the coming days.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 21 April 2005 17:07 (twenty years ago)

I would like to see Jeremy Paxman interview Griffin.

He did in 2001. Griphon got smacked down hardcore.

Nice piece on Newsnight at the moment about the BNP's rising popularity in the Sikh and Hindu communities.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 21 April 2005 20:46 (twenty years ago)

James Lewethaite is a nasty nasty cunt. Likes his eugenics it seems.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 21 April 2005 20:50 (twenty years ago)

shit, i didn't realise that they'd gone full-scale on Muslims in particular. it's sad to think that such a move could be construed as shameless vote-grabbing in the current climate.

― Lee F# (fsharp), Thursday, 21 April 2005 20:52 (twenty years ago)

this party political broadcast was a camp delight.

laughter is a good weapon against racism, so the BNP have scored a real own goal with this one.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Thursday, 21 April 2005 21:12 (twenty years ago)

The BNP changed tack in the late 90s; they stopped saying 'white is right' and started on the line that they had no issues with the black Christian community; the enemy was yer muslim.

― Dave B (daveb), Thursday, 21 April 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

Now what rhymes with 'there'... hmm... got it!

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 21 April 2005 22:00 (twenty years ago)

It was a terribly made film and the arguments in it were odious.
So it's immigrants' fault that ex-servicemen are homeless is it? Nothing to do with the MOD?
And what was Frosty supposed to be muttering to himself? Is he a real homeless guy they paid to root around in bins? Poor bloke, being exploited like that.
The thugs gathering round Griffin in the final part gave the game away.
Nazi punks fuck off!

― Stew (stew s), Thursday, 21 April 2005 22:04 (twenty years ago)

I NEED to do hideous things to that song. If anyone gets a copy let me know.

― Failin Huxley (noodle vague), Friday, 22 April 2005 00:54 (twenty years ago)

Hey they really blew some money on that broadcast! Black and white, no dialogue, a news archive clip. And obv didn't have enough cash to get it edited properly. I was praying for a speeding taxi to knock Frosty over on the Embankment.

I saw the Lewthwaite thing on Newsnight too. Nasty piece of work. Kicking to death would be too good.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Friday, 22 April 2005 06:28 (twenty years ago)

The BNP changed tack in the late 90s; they stopped saying 'white is right' and started on the line that they had no issues with the black Christian community; the enemy was yer muslim.

Precisely because Griffin realised that by doing that they couldn't be prosecuted under anti-racism laws.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 22 April 2005 06:43 (twenty years ago)

which is precisely why we need anti religious hatred laws.

― MarkH (MarkH), Friday, 22 April 2005 07:35 (twenty years ago)

what MarkH said, minus the word "hatred."

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 22 April 2005 07:37 (twenty years ago)

No we don't. We need incitement laws. We do not need to create thought crimes.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 22 April 2005 07:37 (twenty years ago)

Also marcello otm.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 22 April 2005 07:38 (twenty years ago)

It was a terribly made film

According to the Guardian yesterday, Channel 4 objected to the originally submitted version, not on content but on poor technical quality.

Lewthwaite on Newsnight: a nasty, nasty man. Claiming that the "genetic load" and general inbreeding of Muslims means that they have much higher levels of mental and physical disability than white people gives the lie to the claim that their anti-Muslim rhetoric is non-racial.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 22 April 2005 07:40 (twenty years ago)

"Well, look at that bloke with 2 hooks. If that's not deformity..."

― nott me (mark grout), Friday, 22 April 2005 08:16 (twenty years ago)

Who needs the BNP when you've got Lynton Crosby's Tories/ UKIP/ Veritas? Yer average fucking pig-ignorant scumbag is spoiled for choice this election. You've never had it so good arseholes!

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 22 April 2005 08:22 (twenty years ago)

The good news is that focusing 100% on the immigration issue has probably driven the nail into the coffin of the Tories' hopes of winning this election (then again, remember 1970, and 1992).

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 22 April 2005 08:23 (twenty years ago)

Well, one election, I remember William Haig campaigning right outside my office window (literally) about how we shouldn't have a referendum about joining the EC, just not join.

I mean, how can you campaign for not giving a democratic vote about something, and expect people to go "hurray, no vote for me!" ?

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 22 April 2005 08:25 (twenty years ago)

I'm irresistibly reminded of that Monty Python sketch where the introduction of candidates for the Slightly Silly Party and the Very Silly Party helps to split the Silly vote leading to five more years of Sensible government.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 22 April 2005 08:26 (twenty years ago)

Or that episode of The Prisoner where McGoohan stands for election as No 2.

No 2: "Are you going to run?"
No 6: "Like blazes, the first chance I get."

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 22 April 2005 08:31 (twenty years ago)

Well, if they wanted to portray themselves as complete losers asking for the votes of complete losers, they succeeded. The question is, how many self-perceived losers does Britain contain?

But yeah, just seen this. What a classy fucker.

who are the guys he's threatening, and why?

tommy robinson what a shitcunt should of known he would betray the patriot movement

― nakhchivan, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 19:02 (twelve years ago)

kinda wanted to talk about this but there's football on

― Bap & Ounge (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 19:25 (twelve years ago)

Are there really people out there thinking he is a repentant sinner?

The Quilliam Foundation sounds weird as fuck and is surely some kind of MI5 controlled asset.

― "Left-wing" poptimism: An infantile disorder (oppet), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 19:37 (twelve years ago)

i suspect this is a pure career move on Robinson and co's part but it's hard to be fully cynical about any gesture towards a) reducing inter-community tensions and b) further marginalizing the EDL

― Bap & Ounge (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 19:40 (twelve years ago)

I think he'll be able to inflame tensions further once he's achieved a level of think tank respectability tbh. The EDL will probably disappear. Wouldn't be surprised to see his new 'street movement' become a semi-official paramilitary wing of UKIP. Basically going full Golden Dawn.

― "Left-wing" poptimism: An infantile disorder (oppet), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 19:45 (twelve years ago)

Quilliam's been going for a while tho, right?

― Bap & Ounge (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 19:46 (twelve years ago)

He's facing criminal charges, iirc, so that might be a factor. Obviously it's a good thing that he is explicitly rejecting violence but I'm wary about the mainstreaming of someone with such a clear far-right agenda. The Quilliam Foundation's statement that he will help them fight Islamism and neo-nazism makes me a little uneasy. The EDL was never really about fighting "Islamism", whatever that might be, but immigration and Muslims in general. What is Robinson going to contribute here?

― Inte Regina Lund eller nån, mitt namn är (ShariVari), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 19:47 (twelve years ago)

i think Robinson's motivation here is almost wholly monetary, plus maybe the criminal thing as you say. the temptation to keep his head down and take that think tank money might well temper his future pronouncements.

― Bap & Ounge (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 19:51 (twelve years ago)

Quilliam Foundation not really known for fighting the good fight - http://www.islamophobia-watch.com/islamophobia-watch/2011/7/24/norway-how-the-experts-at-quilliam-helped-to-stoke-fears-of.html

― opie dead eyed piece of shit (Merdeyeux), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 19:56 (twelve years ago)

There might be an element of just paying him to shut up and disappear for a while. Idk, though. Nawaz and Husein, as dodgy as they are, are meant to have rejected their beliefs. Robinson gives the impression that he just thinks the tactics were ineffective.

What impact it'll have on the EDL will be interesting to see.

― Inte Regina Lund eller nån, mitt namn är (ShariVari), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 19:57 (twelve years ago)

https://twitter.com/Ed_Husain/status/387563547913646081 is notable in its stupidity but amount of similar liberal celebrations of an extremist being brought into the mainstream is disturbing.

― opie dead eyed piece of shit (Merdeyeux), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 19:58 (twelve years ago)

be interesting to see what shape the EDL's funds are in. Robinson has been very conspicuously touting for big donations over the last 12 months.

Obviously a lot of his views already exist in the mainstream, they just look less acceptable when it's a load of thugs bellowing in the street.

Suspect the EDL as political entity is actually tiny.
