Today in his blog, Simon Darby, deputy head Honcho at the BNP admitted that his party are unattractive and unpopular. Simon is moaning about the fact that the Police are using a surveillance drone to monitor their annual festival "The RWB". In his blog he says
Fancy our relatively tiny festival also requiring such unique surveillance when these measures are not even employed in the annual crime-fest also known as the Notting Hill Carnival.I do wonder if Simon has ever actually been to the Notting Hill Festival? If he had, he'd know that the percentage of people arrested to the percentage of people attending is actually rather low. The majority of trouble doesn't occur as part of the festival, but after the festivities for the day have finished and when the gangs come out to play, usually around pub chucking out time.
Lets just take his statement at face value, for one second. If his RWB fest is so unpopular compared to the Notting Hill Festival, which Simon feels isn't a nice environment, doesn't it occurr to Simon that maybe it's because most people don't like his party or it's policies.
Maybe it should occur to Simon that the police tend to go to these sort of lengths only when there is a gathering of known criminals or troublemakers. If anyone from the BNP is reading this, I have a genuine question for you guys. What percentage of your membership has a criminal record and how does this compare with the other parties? Maybe this explains why the police feel the need to go to these extreme measures.
I suspect that if the BNP's membership behaved themselves a bit better the need for this "War of The Worlds" technology might go away.
