BNP fall out
posted by: Nick Lowles | on: Thursday, 10 December 2009, 12:00
There were quite ridiculous scenes at a council meeting in Barking & Dagenham last night when leading BNP members publicly fell out with each other. In front of about 40 BNP supporters packed into the public gallery, including BNP leader Nick Griffin, Bob Bailey, the leader of the BNP group on the council tried to stop GLA member Richard Barnbrook from raising the Africans for Essex issue in the chamber.
Barnbrook refused to be silenced and continued, much to Bailey's annoyance. Bailey was heard to tell Barnbrook to shut the **** up. Barnbrook replied that he would say what he liked, to which Bailey retored: "not as long as I'm leader."
Is there trouble ahead? Can Barking & Dagenham accommodate both egos?

Wow. Well, I guess it's okay if they act like fascists to each other.

Has anyone re-considered the idea of "no platform" since Question Time? It seems to me that Griffin exposed the ideas of the BNP through questioning, and through Dimbleby quoting holocaust-denial and the like. Also, those who had concerns about immigration, and felt that British culture IS being eroded - someone who sees an srgument to support indigenous Britons... is disgusted at the BNP's attitude to homosexuals. I would never have known about the BNP's homophobia without Question Time, nor the holocaust denial, nor the homophobia - and when I heard him make his comments about homophobia, it made me more sympathetic towards other concerns. Maybe you only really get it when they come for you.
