Nick Griffin is in the High Court tomorrow to explain why he hasn’t complied with orders compelling him and Simon Darby to remove the whites-only membership articles from the BNP constitution. Griffin denies foot-dragging and in a long, dog-ate-my-homework list of excuses cites the snow amongst reasons for not holding the necessary EGM.
Defying the courts is a serious matter. Nonetheless, Nothing British would offer this advice to the EHRC:-
- The idea that a government quango might be behind stories suggesting that an elected politician (however obnoxious) should be sent to prison is quite inappropriate and plays into Griffin’s Lonely Patriot narrative.
- Griffin’s suggestion that the EHRC is using court fees as an instrument to browbeat political parties is obviously self-serving; nonetheless, such an intention would represent a repressive measure and should be avoided.
The EHRC is performing a great service by giving a clear signal that whites-only membership policies are not compatible with British values or law.
They should not spoil the moment by over-doing it.

I notice how you say “whites-only” membership is not compatible with British values or law.
So you are telling us black or muslim only membership is compatible with British values or law?
Hot debate. What do you think?

Oh Davey – you reckon those “black only” organisations such as the National Black Police Officers Association are racist ? Don’t you know it is only racism when whites do it ?!

Well it is strange that as soon as the BNP start to enter the mainstream, they get hounded by the EHCR, honestly there aren’t that many (if any) non whites who are complaining about not being allowed to join the BNP!
Most whites don’t want to join either but that’s their choice.
This is politically motivated to try & stop the BNP making any headway at the next election.
Anyhow are there many non white or female faces in those clubs down Pall Mall way yet?

Actually most white people probably don’t want to join any political party.

If the beastly BNP persist with these unspeakably ghastly policies, the Black Police Association and the Muslim Police Association and the Lesbian, Gay, Transgender and Bisexual Police Association ought to be put on a war footing and, after an adjournment to the nearest mosque for multifaith prayers, should arrest every known and suspected member of the BNP and send them off to the Isle of Man for internment under Regulation 18B.

I guess they will have a bit of a debate about where the lesbians & transgender types go in a mosque & as for the homosexuals….
Must admit I fancy a trip to the Isle of Man (Person these days?), apparently they still have horse drawn trams there!
