BNP go into lie overdrive with insane July 7th fantasy

British National Party in story that’s even more crap than the fake ‘assassination attempt’ story shock

The BNP has surpassed itself with a vengeance! Nobody would have expected it to have come up with even more inane (and insane) lies and rubbish after the ludicrous story that claimed that Nick Griffin was the target of an assassination attempt, but they’ve done it – only this time it looks more like the plot for a straight-to-video film.

Claiming a mole in the uniformed officers branch of the Met, the BNP states that; ‘one of them has come forward to tell us what really happened’ in London on July 7th last year. Bearing in mind the BNP’s fanatical hatred of Muslims, you may not be altogether surprised at the plot of the film, sorry – report.

The plot revolves around a team of terrorists with a fifth bomb – but this one was apparently intended to explode in the tube network directly under the River Thames, blasting through eighty feet of packed earth, solid rock and concrete and releasing the Thames into the tunnels, thus killing thousands of people. ‘This plot was halted when a patrol car stopped the vehicle carrying the terrorists. Within minutes of notifying HQ, the uniformed plods were ‘swamped’ by plain-clothes police, Special Branch and/or MI5 officers and the whole affair was taken out of their hands. They were ordered to tell no-one about the incident and several who have since tried to find out what happened to the small group of Islamics they arrested have been unable to do so. The men have vanished without trace.’ Blimey.

Relying on the need for strict anonymity for their mole (and thus ensuring that the story can’t be confirmed) the BNP goes on with the tale at great and tedious length. One of the more interesting bits of the story (and there aren’t many unless you’re a conspiracy theory nut) is this bit; ‘…the London bus bomber had originally been supposed to strike on the northern line, quite possibly at Stockwell, so as to form a rough symbolic cross’. This presumably is to give support to the BNP’s hatred of Islam – clearly the implication being that Islam is attacking Christianity. The BNP, by the way, never pose the question – why, if the bus bomber was supposed to detonate his bomb at Stockwell, did he detonate it on the bus?

All joking aside – the person who wrote this tosh should be banged up for their own safety. If Nick Griffin and/or the senior figures in the BNP approved this rubbish, they seriously need to take another look at their gullibility levels. Just the idea that someone could carry enough explosive in a rucksack that could blow its way through those incredibly thick and steel-reinforced tunnels, is so nonsensical that it defies imagination.

Not content with a plot that wouldn’t convince a ten year-old, the BNP goes on to state the ‘evidence’ for its belief that all this is true, claiming that this story accounts for ‘the otherwise inexplicable presence and ruthlessness of the police marksmen who ‘just happened’ to be at Stockwell two weeks later.’ Er, no. Take a look at the news reports from that time. Armed police officers were everywhere in London, not just at Stockwell. They were particularly noticeable around tube stations, naturally enough.

They then go on to question the fact that the bombers traveled to London rather than setting off their bombs in Yorkshire or on a train between Yorkshire and London. Erm yes, London’s the capital city.

The possibility of a terrorist attack has been heightened, obviously, since the attacks on New York. In that time, numerous exercises have taken place in the city as training and planning for what some people have seen as an inevitable attack. Yet the BNP seem to see exercises taking place as supporting evidence of prior government knowledge of an attack, regarding the fact that an exercise was actually taking place on July 7th as ‘incredibly coincidental’. Not really. I doubt if there’s been one day in ten over the past four or five years where some kind of possible terrorist-related scenario hasn’t been played out somewhere in the city. Fine, it was just a lucky coincidence that there were emergency services and anti-terrorism officers training that day.

The BNP report gets even more bizarre at this point. Examining the possibility that July 7th was planned and carried out by the government, it then disses the whole idea, stating that, ‘those keenest on this tale were neo-Nazi cranks in the USA, who are fortunate enough to have no experience of living next door to people like the arrogant, hate-filled ‘religious’ thugs like Khan and his gang, and so have no idea of the things of which they are capable’ and goes on to describe such accusations as ‘barking mad’. Note the casual way it throws out its bile-filled comment in an unusually subtle attack on Muslims with that ‘living next door to people like the arrogant, hate-filled ‘religious’ thugs…’

The report questions the fact that the mobile networks were closed down within moments of the blasts. Of course they were. That’s part of the procedure, to stop other bombs being detonated via mobile phone. Why the BNP would question this at all is inexplicable. That this was done swiftly is a compliment to the anti-terrorist training that the security forces undergo, not an indication that, as the BNP outrageously claim, the police knew all about the impending attack.

The BNP then descends into the most ridiculous speculation. ‘Had the fifth bomb (which was going to be planted in the most vulnerable place, rather than exploded in a moving train) succeeded in breaking the tunnel roof, the resulting torrent of water and shorting out of the electricity supply would have knocked out even the pumps that keep the normal leaks under control, thus making things even worse. Tens of thousands of people at least would have been caught like rats in a trap, or like the men in the engine rooms of torpedoed ships in wartime.’ How do the BNP know where the bomb was to be planted? Or is that just another bit of fantasy fiction?

Avoiding all the other speculation and fantasy in the article as too stupid and irrelevant to be worth typing out, we move on to the great cover-up – and at this point, the BNP reveals its real agenda.

‘Putting all this facts [sic] together it seems to us that the answer could well be that the scheme would have worked all too well. Such a conclusion would also account in part for the Powers That Be’s determination to keep the whole plot secret so as to avoid a politically damaging increase in Islamophobia. The death toll, and the TV footage of soaking, terrified survivors staggering out of stations all over the centre of Britain’s great capital city, could easily have outstripped the impact of the Twin Towers attacks. 7/7 could have dwarfed 9/11 as a triumph for Islamic fundamentalism, anti-white racism…to leave our people in the dark about the risks brought upon us all by a lethal combination of Islamic extremism, mass immigration…’ etc.

The British National Party has laid it on the line with this piece. Its blatantly out of control racism and hatred of Islam is so rabid that it’s prepared to produce so-called news items that are clearly fabrication, speculation and fantasy from beginning to end. After being caught out lying over the farce of Nick Griffin’s fake assassination attempt, it’s now trying to drum up hatred by spouting the kind of nonsense you’d expect to find in a third-rate paperback.

We’ll finish off this load of tosh with the most sensible comment we’ve read on a nazi forum for months. It’s a direct response to the BNP’s story and it was made by an irate member of the party. Apart from describing the story as ‘palpable nonsense’, he stated; ‘This is ****ing embarrassing.’ He’s not wrong. Rather less politely, another supporter (or maybe ex-supporter now), stated; 'Strikes me as utter wank. It might make national news but only to highlight how nutty the BNP are.'
