Mark Collett, head of publicity at the BNP and editor of Voice of Freedom, the party’s tabloid, and Joey Smith, managing director of the BNP’s record label, Great White Records, are to appear in an uncritical interview with BBC Radio 1 at 17:45 this evening.
An extract of the interview has already been released. Smith is asked if he considers England Defender Ashley Cole British, he replys: “He cannot say that he’s ethnically British.” And said that to call non-whites British was to deny “our heritage. It’s taking that away from us.”

But this quote from Collett on inter-racial relationships was the most bizarre: “I would be upset if there were no more giant pandas, I’d be upset if there were no more lions, if there were no more tigers, so equally I’d be upset if white people weren’t here any more.”

Collett and Smith appear on Radio 1 @ 17:45 this evening.

    I think on its own, Mark Collet’s quote isn’t that bizarre & I agree with it as it stands but I don’t know the context in which it was spoken.

    Most reasonable people would agree with at least most of the quote but if they then said “I’d not be upset if white people weren’t here any more” then surely that is as racist as saying “I’d not be upset if black people…….”?
