The Dewsbury and District Press newspaper last week reported an extraordinary verbal attack by Roger Roberts on the BNP leader Nick Griffin.

Roberts, the lone BNP representative on Kirklees Council was interviewed regarding Griffin's shambolic appearance on the BBC's Question Time.

Roberts who quit the Conservative party after 40 years said of his leader "The problem with Nick is that he is not a politician. He is used to going to meetings and being treated with adulation "

Once described by Griffin as the party's "jewel in the crown", the BNP foothold has crumbled in the past few years.

At its peak the BNP had three councillors sitting on Kirklees council.

However the BNP in Kirklees has collapsed and has now turned into a complete laughing stock.
