Typical leftie idiots...

No wonder you lefties love Islam so much. You have so much in common! A desire to murder those who disagree with you, and to murder those who questions your BELIEFS.

You have a slight problem though, lefties. MOST of the people in this country don't agree with you, and you can't even debate any right wingers in public to further your cause. Now why would that be?
All you can offer is "Don't vote BNP". Why aren't you telling Joe Public to welcome in ten million more muslims to this country over the next ten years? Why not? Because you know bloody well that MOST people want this country to be ALL WHITE again - you remember, like it's been for the past two hundred THOUSAND years?

"to murder those who questions your BELIEFS."

Like Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich, your political forbears Nazi?

Since when have the BNP won any 'debates', the vast majority of people in this country view you as the deluded Nazi cretins you are?

I am struggling to see why people who are opposed to state rely on that very state to deliver justice.

The judicial system was created and is perpetuated by and for the benefit of white men - how could Prick Griffin and that other little toe rag go wrong?

What an own goal!! Now they get loads of free publicity to peddle their rascist shite and convince all those fools who believe in our democratic system to vote for them.

bnp verdict....

11.11.2006 12:47

1. the actual charges themselves were very unlikely to stick- trying to say that an attack on religion is neccesarily an attack on an ethnic minority was very hard to prove. griffin in particualrly fough a tactically brilliant defence- quoting extensively from the koran

2. to actually get a jury in leeds to convict in anoter thing. due to lethargy by leeds anti fascists and socialists- the bnp have been able to build from polling 3.8% in 2002 in a single ward there- to getting a councillor in, a few near misses and a 17.5% average vote at the council elections where they stood in leeds in 2006. staisticlaly- there was likely to be a sympathiser or two in the jury

3. again- the dangers of the left trusting the searchlight agenda and searchlight scams like this one. we cannot trust the state, its asesets, collaburators and grasses to do the job for us in stopping the bnp.

4. this will probably result in even more recruitment and organisation at a greater rate than their already huge rate of growth (11 new groups formed last month). expect a huge electoral challenge in may off this (with griffin standing for the welsh assembly, i suspect)

5. the scariest thing. the jury probably aquitted them because of the widespread hostile mood amoung ordinary people agaisnt muslims

6. the response from uaf/swp etc has been the usual nonsense. they have learned not a single lesson fron the euronationalist slant of the bnp since 1999, and are becoming increasingly irrelevant

all in all, an depressing but forseeabel outcome. when will the left adopt the tactics which they know will stop the bnp?

Race laws a capitalist invention

11.11.2006 18:19

The Race Relations Acts were all introduced by capitalist governments, the most vicious being the 1986 one brought in by the THATCHER government.

If you're as anti-capitalist as you claim to be why support the prosecution of people just because the State decides it doesn't like them. The State takes its time in prosecuting Muslims with 'Behead anyone who insults Islam placards' (have any been charged?) but can you imagine the police standing around protecting BNP supporters with 'Behead anyone who insults Christianity' placards? No, they'd be arrested immediately.

The BNP are now heroes in the eyes of ordinary working-class whites because of the State's legislation, and you think that legislation is not powerful enough?

11.11.2006 23:15

They haven't escaped justice, they've got it. They escaped conviction because 12 of their peers think they are innocent of the crime they were charged with. Funny how all the tinpot revolutionaries who post on this site don't want to accept the verdict of 12 ordinary people and would have liked the big powerful, evil state to have imprisoned the charged men.

Weren’t so fucking noisy outside the courthouse were you!

Three hundred plus BNP v 12 SCUM! Fucking made our year that did, and was nearly as good as the actual result!

The left is now all but dead. The far-right is on the march, and it’s nearly time to start choosing the trees to hang you scum from.

escape?????

12.11.2006 00:24

some of you people have quite funny opinions. in my view, this should never have gone to court. in a free society people should be able to speak and say anything they like at any time they like. that's freedom. you mightn't like what they are saying, and it might even be repulsive, but it's a sign of a free society that they can still say what they like.

on the other hand, these 2 people are "useful idiots" in that they are promoting fear and hatred - things an authoritarian government love. i do wish the courts and law would be applied fairly. it would be wonderful if actual social justice campaigners could say what they like down at parliament square.

this verdict is essentially another sign of the law being used to divide people.

yes, i'm glad they can say what they like, i wish i could too....

Griffin and Collet may well have escaped the British State on charges of Racism. This does not stop them from being racists. Imagine a Griffin and Collet investigated by an American Court. Not for their petty Fascism but for collecting donations from the Far Right in America.
Ever wondered what the BNP detailed accounts look like? So do American investigators. Mark Cotterill set up the American Friends of the BNP in January 1999. He held a series of meetings in the USA to raise money for the party. And he raised cash - not all accounted for. Links between America and the BNP go back to 1995 when William Pierce addressed the BNP annual rally - and there are questions about financing that go that deep. Mark Cotterill resigned from the American Friends in mysterious circumstances in August 2001 - perhaps not unrelated to Green Card irregularities. Evidence from the Southern Poverty Law Center suggests that the American Friends of the BNP raised a minimum of of $85,000. Between January 1999 and April 2002. Cotterill claimed only $1,788.82 was raised. Far from pursuing the fund raisers, US investigators are empowered to investigate the beneficiaries.

When BNP head Nick Griffin was asked by CNN if the party had ever received checks as large as "$10,000 and $16,000" from the United States, Griffin replied, "We've seen some very useful donations, yeah."

Each of the AFBNP's members paid a minimum $10 in dues every month. An amount easily transferred by Paypal. Beyond the threats from former members, Nick Ryan's interview notes paint a picture of Nick Griffin that makes charges of racism seem frivolous. Laundering money for a foreign power is a serious and extraditable offence.

Nick Griffin, told Wales onSunday, "The politicians, those in charge of the mass media, police chiefs andothers responsible for creating this multi-racial hell hole must face trial and paythe ultimate penalty". (Wales on Sunday 11.8.96)

But just who is paying Nick Griffin?

---My thoughts exactly. i dispise the BMp and their pathetic Boot boys but we live in a free sociaty (or rather wwe should live in a free sociaty) and people should be able to say things we dislike as well as things we like.

if we don't alow one person to speak then we will be silences and anyway how do we ridicule people like this if we don't alow them to spew forth their pathetic drivle?
