This is another example of how much the BNP is out of date with its misbegotten ideas of good old British imperialist patriotism. Well, Britain no longer rules the waves and this is no longer a land of hope and glory. Will they ever come to terms with these facts?
The more militant Protestant Ulsterman also still holds a very anachronistic idea of loyalty dear to his heart ... but it has always been conditional. Today, both North and South look towards the European Union for representation and a federal Ireland looks more realistic as a consequence. The extremists from both sides of what was once a divide need to rethink their positions within Europe and thereby discover reconciliation that way.
If the BNP thinks it has gained a foothold in Northern Ireland then it would not be one that is at all permanent. After all, its policy consists exclusively of Muslim-bashing. It has nothing else to offer.
I think Northern Ireland has already had a belly-full of religion hatred over the years ... which is, in this case, barely concealed racial hatred.
It was T. P. O'Connor who described Mosley as "the greatest friend of Ireland". That was over the Black and Tan outrages.

Thank you, Robert. The intention of the BNP to become more active in Northern Ireland is a real concern. While they may represent a joke party on the mainland UK, I believe they will be a real poisonous presence in Northern Irish politics. In recent years, far right groups have been associated with Loyalist Paramilitaries and criminal thugs in the region. We live in a time when people are at last talking together and trying to work for a better future. The last thing the people of Northern Ireland , Southern Ireland and the UK need, is a bunch of flag waving loudmouths, with ideas that date from the mid-seventies. Some of these people would learn something by reading about Mosley and the Union Movement, in regard to the Irish situation.

Welcome, David, to this QuickTopic forum. Your appraisal of the BNP is spot on.

First of all I would like to say hello to all those working for and supporting European Action. The concept of Europe a Nation is one I have always supported. What a contrast to the narrow nationalism of the BNP.
They are indeed a disgrace. As has been pointed out, their website consists of little Englanders, moaning endlessly about political correctness or lifting stories from the tabloid press, which usually consist of attacks on Muslims.
They have no vision, no policies (of any worth) and thankfully, no chance of ever forming a government.

Seems it is still activated.

So now we all know ... the BNP is the enemy.

In an online article 'Israel's Gaza Affair' Griffin disgracefully writes that Britain should ignore the oppressed Palestinians plight and supports the illegal bandit state's right to exist. What a turnaround from his incarnation as a NF Political Soildier when he supported the Palestinian fight for freedom and Black Muslim seperatists. In an interview with Israeli newspaper 'Ma'ariv' Griffin says he would welcome millions of Jewish immigrants to Britain. What a traitor and sell out! Some BNP members posted comments supporting the indigenous Palestinians but most supported Israel.
