For sure Nick and Co have support amongst the people too mono-syllabic to understand what is being said or worse, understand perfectly and agree with it. And what is all this nonsense about middle class whites and blacks not caring about working class whites? I’ve spent a good deal of my time helping people worse off than myself and none of them have been black or brown. The BNP do talk a lot of crap.

But at least I understand their agenda – they are just racist and enjoy being so. It’s a sort of lifestyle choice.

What has become apparent to me is people like Lee Barnes (and possibly Nick) hate what I would call normal middle class white people (who embrace multi-culturalism) more than they hate minorities. That scares me. They state they want freedom of speech, but many white people I know would not be allowed to live freely if the BNP ever controlled the country.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

I have a different take on this. I know what Nick Griffin thinks. I know his mental framework on issues. That does not alarm me as much as the closet guys,who hold similar views but strut around as perfectly amiable human beings.

What you have to know, is the BNP have become so media savy, that they dominate a lot of the forums, with a call centre action group. It is about 30 BNP members in a room with Internet access laptops. They all start with the same line. “I am not a racist or support the BNP, but I do agree with ?”

So when you hear the news on TV, like today on the BBC and GMTV and look at the comments page on Sky news and they say a lot of emails coming are in favour of the BNP, you now know why.

Question Time didn’t go too well for NG after all. That’s good. But looking at Twitter feeds and some comments on newspaper blogs, the people who would be swayed by the BNP still are. The supreme efforts of the panel were lost on them. But the rest of us are quite happy.

We’re just a small tea shop in Brighton but we had a very recent encounter with the BNP. Read about our experience of Nick Griffin and our take on the Question Time debate here: http://bit.ly/3CJcaQ

Hmmm – the BNP’s webmaster has taken the site down. I wonder if that’s got anything to do with the fact most of their internal documents were exposed and he didn’t know. Not such a great webmaster after all.
