Interviewed by Dominic Carman, LibDem candidate for Barking, Nick Griffin’s parents explain how their son financially destroyed them.
Nick Griffin borrowed very heavily on several properties in the early 1990s, especially on a large country house in France. Edgar Griffin, the BNP leader’s father, guaranteed the borrowing – at Nick Griffin’s request. Edgar Griffin explains that they had to sell their own substantial country house in Suffolk, ‘quite a lot of shares’ and a flat left to Griffin’s mother in order to meet the high interest payments and negative equity.
‘We came out of it very badly’ explains Edgar Griffin. ‘My father had left me a rich man….I was very, very comfortably off.’ Everything went to pay Nick’s debts.
Despite the enormous financial sacrifices made by his parents, Nick Griffin was still declared bankrupt – ‘because of a fine imposed upon Nick’ as explained by Edgar.
This video is potentially very damaging. Griffin wants his party to govern the finances of Barking and Dagenham council, but how can you trust a man with a budget of almost £200 million who almost ruined his parents through his own profligacy.

The first thing that strikes me is if this is Dominic Carman’s video on his YouTube channel why is it videoed off a TV?
Why not put his original tapes onto “YouTube”, it would make the audio clearer for a start.
Secondly as I said before this is now old stuff as Dominic can’t get near Nick Griffin now.
It is probably at least 2 years old, so a lot could have changed by now.
Maybe Nick has paid all the money back?
My understanding is that Nick’s Father was very influential in shaping his views & therefore willingly backed him.
Maybe Dad protests too much?
I think Nick has fulfilled his Father’s political ambitions.
It is also self evident that they have not been destroyed by their son, they’re better off then me & plenty of others.
I can see James & others wincing about the loss of inheritance, isn’t that what Tory toffs think they are entitled to?
In fact there is a new play on, called “Posh” which is about that very subject with a thinly disguised Dave & Boris in their exclusive dining club.

I heard Eddie Butler say that if they have control of Barking it will have to be a showcase & well run so as to be trusted with other such councils.
Plenty of other parties have been shown to be a bit cavalier in their handling of things.

“Sheltered accomadation that was freehold” seems unlikely to me.

Griffin is obviously willing to completely shaft his own parents and destroy their lives. What would he do for the citizens of Barking? Dominic Carman’s video should be shown to everyone
in Barking and Dagenham as a warning of what to expect if they vote BNP.
