And Now, The End Is Near...

[Gromit]

Farewell Nick Griffin. Your party has all but disappeared. And hopefully you will too.

Might this guy be in the line to take over Mr Griffin's job?

[askyourgran]

No one will miss him imo.

[naomi24]

He did it his way .... didn't work though.

Did UKIP shoot the BNP's fox?

[jeffa]

"Nick Griffin has taken up the position of president."

Never thought I'd ever see that!

[Farriercm]

Does he look a little bit like Hermann Goring ? are they related ?Nick Goring.
or Nick Boring.

[keyplus90]

Racist bastard.

[naomi24]

You're not going to vote for them again then, Keyplus? ;o)

From the link:

"The BNP blamed its poor performance on the rise of UKIP, which it said had become the party of choice for protest votes about Europe and immigration."

I think Mr Farage might take exception at that theory.

[cassa333]

Well so much for being party leader since 1999. I had to read the article to find out who he is!!!

That's either because I don't take any notice of politics or more likely don't care about the BNP therefore don't know who is in it :)

[mikey4444]

It was inevitable that the BNP would be in decline as soon as UKIP was on the rise. Good riddance to Mr Griffin but we must be wary of the far right. They always return, in some form or another. Watch out for BNP, Mk 2.

I'm actually kind of sad to hear this - I prefer Nick Griffin as King of the Crazies than Farage. Griffin is much funnier.

Did anyone see the full, uncensored version of the BNP's cartoon song at the European elections? It was bizarre, incredibly offensive and absolutely hilarious. Plus there was that time he abjectly humiliated himself on QT. Despite the paranoid conspiracy theories at the time, he really needed no assistance from the BBC, he hung himself with his own underwear with a level of genius that no comedy writer in the land could reach.

I will miss Nick Griffin.

[mikey4444]

Personally I find Farage much funnier. To quote Woody Allen, its always difficult to satirize Nazis...its the jackboots apparently. I wonder where Griffin will go now...no Euro MP seat, bankruptcy, and now no real job to do ?

[ToraToraTora]

Well EDs looking for some new lads mikey......

[mikey4444]

I'm not sure that the EDL have room for any more nutters TTT !

The best thing that the BBC ever did was to allow this racist twit to appear on Question Time....he exposed the BNP for what it really is and the Party and Griffin has now paid the penalty.

[DrFilth]

Kromovaracun the question time show was a farce as the audience was clearly rigged to just have a go at him, it was to improve the ratings which the bbc never ever bother about according to some

normal people who had tickets for the show were turned away because the bbc had given tickets to others they wanted planted in the audience

[mikey4444]

The BNP hasn't gone away however. Here is the new Leader...another odious character. Where do they get them from ! Might be better if Griffin stayed.

[mikey4444]

Aren't "normal" people mostly not racists Dr F ? What should the BBC have done....advertised for racists and thugs to turn up ?

Griffin was hoisted by his petard, and needed no help from the audience. He got everything that was coming to him.

[Kromovaracun]

"Kromovaracun the question time show was a farce as the audience was clearly rigged "

What do you mean "rigged"? The audience kept having a go at him for saying stupid things. e.g....

- "my grandad fought in the war and yours didn't so I'm obviously right"
- "we have been involved with a non-violent section of the KKK, so that's okay."
- "European law will not allow me to say my opinions on the holocaust [that it did not happen] even though the justice secretary is right here saying that's not true."

Griffin wasn't set up, and it's paranoid nonsense to suggest he was. He put it some idiotic bilge and got treated like the idiot he is.
