Lest we forget. God save us all!

Morning Strumpets.

"I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that six million Jews were gassed and cremated and turned into lampshades. Orthodox opinion also once held that the world is flat." Nick Griffin.

The British National Party was given a platform by the BBC on Thursday evenings "Question Time". It`s leader Nick Griffin, of the above quote, was given the opportunity in front of millions to publicise his Party`s opinions.

Many argued that this mans party should have the right to the arena as they have been democratically voted into power in many Councils throughout the United Kingdom. They also have two MEP`s.

I`m going to let you know my opinion.

He should never have been allowed within a hundred miles of that studio.

His Party believes that if you do not have Centuries of pure white anglo-saxon blood within your ancestry, you should be kept separate to the people who have. Or removed from Britain. His Party`s manifesto, which i have just read, also believes that the statement "humans are the same under the skin" is a myth and that men and women should be treated as equals is untrue. His Party believes that the Blacks and Asians, Homosexuals and Lesbians, have a negative impact on Society. Does any of this sound familiar?

At this time of year when we place a Poppy proudly on our chest, we pay respects at Cenotaphs, commemorating the millions who gave their lives in conflict. These bear the legend "Lest we Forget". So lest we forget, can anyone else remember the last time the Far Right jumped on the back of a nation battered by a world wide recession, and was given public platforms to spout it`s odious lies and propaganda.

The television show rightly showed Nick Griffins shortcomings in front of a multicultural audience. To me he came across as an awful ass. But I can guarantee you this. There were millions of Britons watching that night who didn`t. There were millions watching who will have thought he was talking sense. Millions who need an easy target to blame our Countries faults on. A target that look different to us. Millions who will have thought the audience full of left wing loonies who never gave him a chance.

This is how it starts. Them and Us. And it`s wrong. A poll published in the Telegraph today finds that since the edition of "Question Time" 1 in 5 of all the people polled would consider voting for the British National Party at some point in the future.

Nick Griffin admits that the BBC gave his Party a massive early Christmas present. Shame on them.

"First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me."
