Sympathy for the Devil

*** Update  at 19:27 *** How very wierd. I just went into my blog manager page and this blog is the 666th blog I've posted. I didn't realise when I named it - How spooky is that ???? Perhaps the twat  is more evil than we all thought
--------------------------------------------------------
Everyone seems to want to talk to me about Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP on Question Time (Pictured left). Many people are shocked that I've not seen it and have no interest in seeing it, given my strident criticism of him.

The truth is, I'm rather sorry for the useless Fascist numpty. Not sorry that he may have been given a hard time by the BBC, no I'm sort of sorry for him in the way I'm sorry for a sick animal. You see Nick Griffin has excluded himself, for no other reason than stupidity, from many of the best things about Great Britian.

Does he appreciate a Brick Lane curry? Does he dance to the sounds of Bob Marley? Does he listen to the poetry of Linton Kwesi Johnson, does he boogie to the sounds of Soft Cell & Malk Almond, would he go to the Roundhouse to watch Smokey Robinson? Would he let his hair down at a Pride festival? Would he sing along with the London Community Gospel Choir? Does he like a nice Chinese takeaway? Does he cheer when Rio Ferdinand scores a goal for England? Does he thank the Lord when he sees Johnson Beharry receive a VC? Does he say a prayer for all the brave Imperial troops who helped save this great Country from Fascism? Does he thank the Lord for the Polish Spitfire pilots in the Battle of Britain.

Well if he does, he keeps very quiet about it. What a sad little man.

As to his claims that he was bullied, given a hard time, the audience was unrepresentative, these deserve a bit of scrutiny and analysis.

1. Was the audience representative? Well the BNP got around 1% of the vote at the last general election, so if there were 200 people in the audience, then maybe 2 of them should be BNP voters. The BNP has a tiny membership, so to be representative, then if one of them was actually a member, they were overrepresented.

2. Did the audience represent London's demographic make up? Griffin conceded it did. As such his bleating was actually for an "unrepresentative" audience.

3. He complained that he was asked lots of beastly questions. Well sorry poor lickle Nicky Wicky, that's what people do on question time. Just suppose they had Gordon Brown on. Do you think he'd get asked lots of nice questions by the Tories & Lib Dems. I can't see Chris Huhne saying "Well Gordon, we'd really like you to explain to us just how lucky we are to have you here and we must give you every opportunity to tell us how you saved the world" or Baroness Warsi saying "Well Gordon, I think you are the greatest thing since sliced bread". They'd probably be far more beastly to Gordon.

4. He claims the audience were picked to give him a hostile reaction. If you picked 100 people off the street at Random in London, they'd give Griffin a far more hostile reaction than he actually got. Going back to the Gordon Brown analogy, Would he bleat afterwards that "There were lots of people in the audience who booed me when I gave evasive answers" I doubt it.

Griffin is a twat. If he'd had half a brain, he'd have claimed a great victory in the face of insurmountable odds. As it is, he's just shown that he can't take it when he has to play ball with the big boys.

The BNP on the BBC - An apology

I think I owe you all an apology. The whole concept of Nick Griffin of the BNP on question time was a concept I found to horrible to contemplate, so I ignored it. I went to the pub. This morning I woke up and I was confronted with the reason that I should have said something. You see when I got up at 6.45 am, I was confronted by the scene in our front room of my son, who is 9 years old, playing on the Wii with his best mate, who was having a sleepover. You may ask what all of this has to do with Nick Griffin? Well My son's best mate is 1/2 Chinese and 1/2 Croatian. If Mr Griffin had his wicked way, my son's best mate would be deported (or worse). I suddenly felt like a shabby, cowardly, good for nothing, who just hid my head in the sand. We can't stand by and give people like Griffin a platform, any sort of platform at all.

The BBC's justification for giving Griffin a platform? He's the Leader of an organisation which quite a few people are members of. So what? I read that there are more paedophiles in Great Britain than there are BNP members, but nobody would suggest for one second they should get a slot on question time, do they? Much of what the BNP advocate is illegal, many people have suffered violence at the hands of its members.

As I didn't watch his performance (why would anybody want to?), I can't comment on it, but I will say this. If he has to be on Question Time, I'd have liked to see a panel of good, solid working class Socialist activists. I sometimes think that the BBC just doesn't realise that "normal people" can and do have brains and can and do know how to get their case across. The likes of Griffin don't do irony and they don't get sarcastic. I'd like to get a few guys from the RMT down to have sorted him out.

If you talk to the chattering classes about the BNP, they fear that the great unwashed British public will be seduced by this bunch of numpties. They won't. You see the British working man views all politicians with deep suspicion. They quite rightly see the BNP as a bunch of nasty, vicious oddbods, best to be avoided. We have a tradition of live and let live. What is the best supported Football league in the World? The Premiership. What is the fourth best supported? The Championship. Teams brim with players from around the world. When someone such as Thierry Henry signed for Arsenal or Didier Drogba signed for Chelsea, did the British working class shun the teams? Of course they didn't.

Take music. Where did Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Sade, launch their career? In Great Britain. We love Music of Black Origin.

Take food. If you tell the British working man, he can't have curry, chinese or a Kebab, he'll tell you to get stuffed.

I once listened to a BNP councillor saying that Muslims had contributed nothing useful in the history of the planet. This was sadly not corrected by the presenter. I was amazed that nobody saw fit to point out that Arab scholars invented mathematics and the numbering system we use. Without it, there would be no science, engineering or anything else. Of course I wouldn't expect a BNP numpty to understand that.

I see from the press that Nick Griffin is going to complain to the BBC that he was bullied. Let me tell you what bullying is. In the heyday of the National Front, which Nick Griffin was a member of, I arranged to meet a mate of mine in Ladbroke Grove for a pint. He never turned up. In those days we didn't have mobile phones. The reason? He'd been severely beaten up by a bunch of National Front supporting skinheads, for having the audacity to wait for a bus. He spent the night in casualty and the incident completely changed his personality.He ceased to be a happy go lucky, carefree soul. He became sullen, withdrawn and started smoking far too much ganja. All because some numpties didn't like the colour of his skin. That is why I hate the BNP.

So what should I have written in my blog. Well it seems that 8 million people watched the vile circus. I'd have urged everyone to :-

a) Lobby the BBC to ban Griffin.
b) Urge everyone you know to not watch the show
c) Protest outside television Centre so they get the idea that it just ain't worth it

I'm sorry.

The most disturbing thing you will hear all week !

Picture - Johnson Beharry VC - National Hero

The country is sick of bare faced lying, cheating politicians. I think we all know this, but every Tory, Labour and Lib Dem politician in the land should click on the link below to the Vanessa Feltz show, forward the time to 2hrs 52 seconds and listen to what the clearly very honest, upset and intelligent lady of African descent has to say.

The Vanessa Feltz show

I have thought very long and very hard about posting this blog. Her message is so stark that it disturbed my nights sleep. There is a year until the next general election. Anyone tempted to call for an immediate election, should listen to this broadcast. I have come to the conclusion that parliament needs radical surgery to sort it out. They have 1 year to clean up the show. Here is my recovery plan. Believe me, if we don't do something radical, then we might end up with a Government that we can't sack at the election after next.

We've had about 50 or 60 MP's exposed by the Telegraph. Surely there must be a majority of decent MP's who want to sort the mess out. Here is my action plan.

1. Gordon Brown resigns tomorrow. Appoint Kate Hoey Prime minister & Frank Field as Deputy.

2. They should appoint David Cameron to head up a commission to reform expenses for once and all. A vote of MP's should be taken to give him sweeping and draconian powers to fire all MP's shown to have behaved in a dishonest or underhand manner. He will have this role for a 6 month period. MP's who have been dishonest will be given a stark choice. Resign & pay back the money or get the sack and be investigated by the police.

3. The Speaker should resign immediately. He must be replaced by someone with credibility on all sides.

4. All MP's expenses and accounts should be on line. Expenses should be just that. If they are genuine out of pocket expenses they can be claimed back. If they want a flat they can buy one, with their own money, like anyone else who has to work away from home. They would get travel, food, hotel bills & other related costs. They would send out accounts as part of their re election package.

This plan would give us all an opportunity to see whether David Cameron really can take tough decisions. Whether he can cut the mustard. He'd have six months to prove himself and six months to campaign. With Hoey & Field, we'd have someone trustworthy running the show and someone who knows what they are doing running the economy.

Finally a few words about the BNP and the African lady on the Vanessa Feltz show. She says that they are the only party who she can trust and the only party she knows where she stands with. I'm terribly sorry to disappoint her, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Their member on the GLA, Richard Barnbrook has shown that he's even more dishonest than the mainstream politicians. The Tory Troll has exposed how Mr Barnbrook has made false claims about murders in his borough. He faces a suspension of up to 6 months.

I would suggest that the lady in question watched Nick Griffin on the Daily Politics show. Mr Griffin clearly states that Coloured people are not British. He even says that Johnson Beharry, VC winner is not British, despite his bravery for Queen & Country. Who do I think can call themselves British? Well anyone like me, who was born here. My Dad was an immigrant, my mums Dad was an immigrant. Having said that, if you had to have the choice between me or Mr Beharry VC, I'd advise you to choose Mr Beharry, even though he's not born here. He has PROVEN his worth and the likes of Griffen have not earned the right to even question him. Where's your bravery medals Nick? You can see what a shifty, dodgy character Griffin is here, being interviewed by Andrew Neil.

Is Mr Griffin being honest about his views on the holocaust? I don't think so. His excuse "European Law prevents me from explaining why I changed my views". Since when has European Law forbade people from saying "I read a load of old tosh, got taken in by it, and in the face of overwhelming evidence, been forced to admit I'd got it all wrong".

There is a big debate at the moment on the Left. Do we ignore the BNP or do we confront them head on. I say that now especially, we must expose their lies. Pretending they don't exist just keeps ladies like the one on Vanessa's show in the dark as to what they are really like.
