BNP leader could set up office in Lancashire

BNP: Nick Griffin BNP: Nick Griffin

LANCASHIRE could become the North West headquarters of the British National Party if Nick Griffin is elected at next month’s European elections.

Mr Griffin, the BNP’s leader, is standing for a North West seat at the elections, and has confirmed it is “quite likely” they would open an office somewhere “between Colne and Preston”, if elected.

More than 90 candidates, representing 12 political parties and an Independent, are set to stand for the eight North West MEP seats.

Over five million people will be eligible to go to the polls on Thursday June 4, to choose the region’s representatives in Europe.

Mr Griffin said: “It would be wrong to second guess the electorate, but we would probably be looking at two offices.

“One is likely to be in the major conurbations of Manchester or Liverpool and the other in the central belt, somewhere between Colne and Preston is quite likely.”

As well as the BNP, candidates representing the Christian party, the Conservatives, English Democrats, Jury Team, Liberal Democrats, No2EU: Yes to Democracy, Pro Democracy, Socialist Labour party, the Green party, Labour and the United Kingdom Independence party are standing for elections.

Chris Davies MEP, who represents the Liberal Democrats, is standing again next month.

He said: “This year’s list is thick with Eurosceptic candidates and we are proud to represent a pro-European party, we think it is positive for the UK to be in the European Union.

“It is important people use their vote as it is people who vote who make the difference.

“If you don’t make the effort to vote for someone who you think reflects you then you will almost certainly end up with someone who doesn’t reflect you.

“The BNP stood five years ago and there was lots of talk of them winning seats but they didn’t get anything.

“UKIP ended up with 12 seats but look at the sorry mess they have become.”

Griffin is a failed Tory with no more leadership in him than Gordon Brown. He is not the image to lead anyone and for him to come to the North West and stir up trouble with his views is the most backward step anyone could take by voting for this man. Look at your image BNP and the people who were given a chance in Burnley, wife beaters, villains and thugs and you expect to take votes with people coming from that background. You must be joking. Get UKIP in and to hell with Griffin.

BNP and Nick "Glass Eye" Griffin are just scum that i incapable of doing any form of public service. Just look at Burnley and Pendle - they have incompetent councillors who can't even string two english sentences together. Voting for BNP is a wasted vote and only comparable to a terrible dose of diahorrea. This picture of Nick Griffin tells you everything about him and his party: BLOATED; UNHEALTHY; UNEQUAL AND BAD FOR HEALTH (AND VERY SMELLY BY THE LOOK OF HIM).

CIAO PUTTA DE MADRES.

How many of these BNP politician wannabe's have truely served queen and country?
What are thier views on Gurkha soldiers who have fought and died for this country?
If they get rid of all the NON-WHITES then were are we going to fill the void that is left by them being re-patriated, in the NHS?
Are the BNP members going to run the hospitals?
How come ONE MILLION white eastern europeans can comeover and find jobs, yet members of the BNP struggle to find work???
And finally if all NON white people who will be asked to leave as they are allegedly such a drain on the system, will they be replaced by all the white people who have settled in far off NON-WHITE lands???

Voting the BNP is a wasted vote...they have no real policies other than the vile racist thuggery that they spurt time after time...what is their take on education,health service,pensions,tra
nsport links, logistics,the economy...they dont have one, why? Because they are not intelligent enough to understand it. From this photo of Nick Griffin it looks like he has been eating too many pies...get on a treadmill Mr Griffin and whilst your there get a life!

Hi All.

Take a step back for a moment here.
If Griffin is to set up base here in Lancashire, then it means that lancashire has been chosen as the county the BNP are aiming to gain the most support. Call me old fashioned...but I wonder if this is because we have a large Muslim population, and the BNP are not racist?

Your average BNP supporter has the mind capacity of a cow pat fly, they can neither understand reality, and are totaly based in the lower nature.
They are the old football hooligans, the 70's skinheads.

The fact is the BNP is an operation directed by the Anti Defamation League, itself controlled by B'nai B'rith.
And for the interesting bit, which adds to the real reason Lancashire is in the sights of the BNP....B'nai B'rith are controlled by the Jesuits, at least according to Jean Baptiste Janssens; Superior General of The jesuits 1946-64.

He also stated the jesuits control :

Sovereign Order of Malta

The Scottish Rite Shriner Freemasonry

The Order of the Illuminati

The Knights of Saint Columbus

The Knights of the Klu Klux Klan

Opus Dei

The Mafia

The Nation of Islam

The Fruit of Islam

So I am not asking you take me at my word here.

Anger, frustration, the inability to get your voice heard, are all reasons why people vote for the BNP.
Worse than that is the fact all those who despise the BNP, are apt to see only the BNP as the party with Nazi connatations, when the real facism is coming out of Whitehall under direct command of the Knights Templar Church, The Crown... regardless of which political party is in power.

So while it is important BNP supporters fully understand who controls the BNP, it is essential the majority of healthy people ignore these numties and focus on the present leading parties doing all they can to usurp this nation under the EU monster.

Face facts people, Israel is but the front for the Crown, and through Mossad are infiltrating the UK to destroy her.
Listen to this interview with Natalie Bracht explaining to my collegue; Tony Gosling what is really going on in Blighty :
http://www.bilderber
g-mirror.org.uk/nb_l
ong_story.mp3

What she exposes is the creation of a spy ring within our universities, its command centre in Sunderland involving David Abrahams the sinister Labour doner, and Jeremy Beecham.
She also exposes that this network has control within Social services headed from Glasgow.

Good God man it's an election to elect people to represent our views in the EU and County Hall - do we really need all this tripe?

Best way is to look at the literature produced by all the parties (ignoring the back biting and 'doing down') and decide who to vote for based on whose policies you agree most with.

They all have them (despite what Lancashire Lass says) just decide which sounds most sensible and put your cross next to their name.

Take your lefty blinkers off & look at the BNP policies.They are there for all to see.
You really do need to get yourself updated.


lancastrian lass says...
10:22am Tue 12 May 09

akon..it is not me who needs to take my blinkers off...I have studied politics in-depth at university, I understand the system far better than you probably do...but i wont bother wasting my breath on the likes of you!

Lancastrian Lass - with an attitude like that perhaps you should go into politics yourself - you seem admirably suited.

lancastrian lass sounds more like asian lass, the bnp may not be knights in shining armour, but they are a hell of a lot better than lib lab con, if anyone votes for these muppets you need your head seeing to, theve ripped us off left right and centre and you still get joeys still voting for them baa baa baa.

12:39pm Tue 12 May 09

why is it that as soon as you stand up to racists such as yourselves on here you must be non-white? Im not a socialist and neither am I leaning towards the left in my politics...what I am saying is that to vote for them is a wasted vote...and if it isn't then please folks ask yourself why they are not obtaining seats in the majority of the country given that they have been a political force since as far as i can remember??

At the end of the day if the bnp are elected whats the problem?

lancastrian lass says...
4:08pm Tue 12 May 09

there is no problem at all...i just said it would be a wasted vote, that is my opinion..some took exception to that on here and started to refer to me as a "lefty". Is this thing that we call democracy all about "I will not defend what you say but will defend until death your right to say it" so if i think it's a wasted vote, that's my right..

anyway im bored with some of the retards around, im outtie

I dont think bringing the bnp to the north west will benefit anyone.People in the north seem to get the worst deal when it comes to political
intervention.But because peoples hopes are low at the moment i do fear they will get in.I never see any candidate walking the street on a day to day basis unless its electrol time.I would like to ask nick griffin what his party has got to offer.Maybe he could come from behind his desk and meet the people he is trying to persude to vote for him.We have been lied to from every goverment that has ever stood.So what will the bnp do thats any different.Or will the good people of the north west be left to pay the bill for another spitting image dummy

dont play victim lancastrian lass, your the one calling people racist thugs just because we can think for ourselves, im not racist and im not a thug, im not a sheep either, ive had to listen to your sort of rubbish all my life, ive had to feel guilty cos am white working class or i should say white underclass, well your multicultural society as failed we dont live in harmony, we have to constantly watch our backs, watch what we say, watch how we behave and forever run around apologising well not me sweetheart, enough is enough its time for a change its time for a party thats puts its own people first

5:32pm Tue 12 May 09

Mitty, Blyth - are you for real!!! You sound like a poster child for a constapation pill. BNP are there to help no one - not working whites, white underclass (whatever that is) and not definitely you. They have the brain span of a gnat (apologies gNAt!!) and cannot string two sentences together - what does that leave you with - WELL JUST LOOK AT BURNLEY WERE BNP HAVE SOME REPRESENTATION ON THE COUNCIL - THESE DUDES ARE SO THICK THAT EVEN THE LIBERALS ARE LAUGHING AT THEM AND THE LIBERALS ARE A TRUE JOKE IN NATIONAL POLITICS.

SO I SAY OFF WITH YOU NICK "GLASS EYE" GRIFFIN AND BACK TO THE SEWERS YOU GO AND AFTER JUNE 4TH WE WILL NOT HEAR FROM YOU FOR A LONG TIME.

CIAO U BNP PUTTA MADRES.

The fascists and racists are alive and well.
Do not be deceived by their policies and words.

Agree with Smooth's sentiments.

BNP are feeding on people's fears and uncertainity in the current depressed economic climate.

Peace and love to all.

well thats what you think spoon, oops sorry im thick smooth, hey the only thing smooth about your thinking mate is the diahorea you talk, oops am at it again soz that was my thuggish side, by the way the BNP doesnt run Burnley council usually any faults with the council are usually down to the people who are running it. But dont think to hard smooth your might burn your brain cell out.

ooh milty i am not playing a victim at all, im just merely stating facts..I can say what i want, that is what GB democracy is all about isnt it so to hell with the likes of you & akon who think they can boss women around like this...you need to get into the 21st century & realise that firstly women have rights & secondly the BNP are NOT going to ever rule this country.

As for you having to bow down as white underclass,dont blame that on immigrants or non-whites,blame that on ourselves for not being organised enough to have groups set up to fight our corner, blame it on us for being apolitical & sitting on our fat backsides instead of voting on election day, turning up to local meetings etc, i tell you what us brits are good at folks, to sit in the pub,have a few pints and moan & complain about the world & how we were once the workshop of the world & how britain was once great...how we won the world cup in 66...

We need to get up & graft like the poles and the asian shopkeepers who do 12 hour shifts and start taking responsibility, not blaming all & sundry.

PEACE TO MY FELLOW BRETHREN, GOD BLESS YOU ALL AS MY MATE DAVE SAYS!

Lancastrian lass did I dream it, or did you say you studied politics at uni? If that's right, perhaps you should have attended more lectures than you did becuase you show a fundamental lack of understanding about what politics is about.

Your last post is also full of contradiction (so perhaps you might make a good politician).

You berate the BNP for example for having no policies - actually they do because I've seen a leaftlet of theirs that sets out policies on many issues. Then you call them racist and thuggish. Yet you go on to say the 'Brits' are guilty of not organsising and fighting their own corner. You appear to be advocating doing something that you also say is a bad thing?!

As for returning to working 12 hour days to make Britain great again... I thought we'd left the victorian age well behind us and lived in a society where work life balance was taken seriously.

I'm sorry but your arguments seem to be veering all over the place and contain very little substance other than an assertion that people should be told not to vote for cetain parties - well the same democracy you claim gives you the right to express your opinions also provides the right for every individual to vote for any political party they wish without threat or intimidation from those that disagree with their views.

9:56am Wed 13 May 09

David from your comments on a number of issues it is apparent that your views are towards the BNP.

Why is it that so many middle class professionals such as yourself do not openly admit to being BNP supporters/members?

Outline their policies on here as you have a lot to say for yourself on this topic.

Would you oppose fascists and racists?

Have any members over last 5 years of the BNP in Burnley had convictions for violence of any form?
(convicted thugs)

What are you afraid of in this land of democratic rights and freedom?

Admit you are supportive of the extreme right wing views from the comfort of your middle class environment

ganja man says...
10:50am Wed 13 May 09

DavidBurnley, the educated and respectable hidden face of the BNP in Burnley have the courage to come on here and answer the questions put to you above.

Do not hide behind the veneer of middle class respectability pretending to be a supporter of the BNP.
It is time for you to be "outed" and for all to see you in your full glory.

Be a man and do it yourself before other forces overtake you.

About fellow BNP members you have stated-

In your own words
"These are ordinary people expressing their own views, not racists"

For all your buorgeoise credentials you seem to have gone quiet.
The chattering classes are never short of an opinion, are they?

Another one bites the dust........

DavidBurnley says...
1:12pm Wed 13 May 09

Ganja, I'm not going tobe drawn into another pointless debate with you about your comments that hold little substance.

I merely defend the right of any individual to express their opinion without being accused of being racist or anything else.

For the record, I have no affiliation to any political party. I will cast my vote based on what I beleive the various parties are offering as policies.

Neither am I middle-class.

Neither will I be drawn into answering specific yet irrelevant questions from you. The debate is not about that and discussion of personal and private matters has not place on such a forum.


ganja man says...
1:29pm Wed 13 May 09

David, you would make a good politician as you do not answer the question posed.

What are you afraid of?

As a matter of interest which party would you stand for?

DavidBurnley says...
1:36pm Wed 13 May 09

You really don't listen do you Ganja.

I have no intention of discussng my personal politics here with you or anyone else - they are a private matter. Re-read above and you will see that I have already said I have no affiliation to any poltical party and will cast my vote according to how I percieve the policies of all those standing in an election. My vote may would not necessarily be for the same people at different elections.

That, for any normal fair minded individual who respects the principles of democracy and privacy, should suffice - unless of course you wish to push the matter and demonstrate that you are less enamoured with the democratic rights of UK citizens than I am.

DavidBurnley says...
1:43pm Wed 13 May 09

Absolutely agree Lancastrian Lass - but there is a difference between expressing an opinion and badgering individuals to reveal private and personal information - something I notice Ganja has a tendency to do on a number of occasions.

Why was my comment removed?

All I said was vote bnp to get rid of johnny foreigner.

With the riddance of such, we will have to close our hospitals 3 days a week because of lack of doctors?

What is wrong with that?

If you don't believe me, read the latest report published in the British Medical Journal. We already have a shortage of doctors due to immigration laws being made more stringent.

I want Owain or Akon to be my doctor.

As a staunch supporter of the bnp I fully support the British jobs for British workers campaign.

However when I received my BNP election leaflet for the european elections through the door recently, I was devastated.

Why? You ask.

I was not upset because the soldier, the doctor, the young mother and the elderly couple on the leaflet were models.

I was not upset because the BNP the pictures used without permission.

I was not upset because the models never said the things attributed to them on the leaflets.

So why was I so devastated by the leaflets??

The models the BNP used in the leaflets were foreigners. What happened to British jobs for British workers.

I'm devastated!

The whole issue of the BNP is getting rather dull. It's a minor party that offers nothing positive for Britain, yet gets free publicity endlessly from politicians using it as a bogey man to scare the electorate.

If you aren’t a nazi and genuinely want to protest without resorting to extremists like the BNP and UKIP, can I recommend Libertas? We recently launched five Stamp Out Sleaze pledges that are leagues ahead of anything that the other parties have to offer.

I'm not a regular member of this site, and I just went through the process of joining so i could leave this message.

for the record i support the BNP, to an extent. But to call them all Racist thugs is just wrong. They stand for the one thing the British working class belive in, but are not allowed to say they do anymore. That thing is Patriotism. Those evicted from seats in the Lancashire County Council in my opinion, dug there own grave. Personally, i'm sick to death of this Politically Correct nonsense that tells me- I can't put an England flag up in my garden, even my window, because it may hurt the MINORITY's fealings. That there will be no Christmas lights in the Centre of town this year because it may hurt the MINORITY's feelings (you know for a MINORITY they sure do hold a lot of sway in our every day lives). These kind of actions, although they may sound good on paper, in my view, incite racism. All these actions serve to do is anger the MAJORITY. The people who let these things happen only have themeselves to blame when an angry public vote them out. I fight for this country, i would die, for this country. I'm proud of its heritage and its history and i am proud to be English. It saddens me that I regularly have to justify what i'm doing to myself because Britain is no longer British. Its time to get someone in who can take it back.

If you are just an observer of politics you will realise that theose electorates that form the "balance of power" will receieve the biggest cash injection from the ruling party to keep/change their voting habits.
BNP are the small bump on the skin; Absolutely going nowhere in the polical game. They will never rule in England; will never forn the power base.
So--what's all this bulls-it about?
Conned BNP voters have no logevity. Burnley will not have money sunk into it by either Labour or Conservative.
You loss - you stupid fools. But you will continue to loss bigtime.
You small percentage idiots have resigned Burnley to the scrap-heap of history. And you don't even know it.

I would really like to answer navy_colner because I understand his views.
Not being able to put up the flag; not being able to celebrate Chistmas is an absolute joke.
Of course you should be able to do both with pride (and I'm not even Christian!)
But political correctness is now probably enshrined in legislation. Even the BNP are controlled by it and have to abide by it.
If Political Correctness is now riddiculous and anti the common view change it! But don't change it by letting in scum with the bathwater!!
I, too, am VERY proud to be English but how do you know that there aren't nmany many non-english born immigrants who are equally PROUD to be English?!
A protest vote is fine, but if you want to REALLY change things get down to a mainstream party and lobby like hell. Raise the debate; fight for what's right. Don't surrender to a facist mob who promise everything but can/will deliver nothing but hatred rhetoric. We want change but do not adopt the BNP lazy man's approach which is PLEASE DOBN"T ASK ME TO GET OFF MY BUTT TO MAKE CHANGE DO IT FOR ME". And that, my friend, is what you are doing.
