The Insider

FUNNY how politicians pop up in the most unlikely places, isn't it? Take British National Party leader Nick Griffin, for instance, who was a surprise spectator during last week's Varsity boxing match between Oxford and Cambridge at the famous York Hall, in Bethnal Green, London. Well known is that Griffin and his party have some rather "interesting" views on controversial topics.

Less well known, perhaps, is that he is a former Cambridge boxing blue. That said, you would have thought his presence and that of his heavies would be enough to spur anyone to victory, but it wasn't. Oxford won 5-4.
