Assuming they don’t have a change of heart, Nick Griffin, BNP Leader,  is to be interviewed on the BBC Newsnight programme, 10:30pm - in connection with the BBC’s “White” series.

Intrepid BBC journalists may have only just discovered the existence of the indigenous, white, working people of Britain, but it is a subject upon which, Nick Griffin, is an undoubted expert.

The BBC interviewer may be in for a rough ride!!

Righteous anger & political action:

The British National Party believes in telling the truth, even if it is sometimes uncomfortable to hear or offensive to those who would rather bury their heads in the sand than face real problems in our society. But while we often pass quite critical comment on the impact of immigration, multi-culturalism and alien religions on the indigenous people of our lands, we have no animosity towards immigrants, their descendants or the followers of non-native religions. Nor do we intend to encourage others to feel such animosity, or believe that anything we have to say is likely to 'stir up hatred' against anyone.

In fact, we believe that by providing a peaceful and Constitutional outlet for the anger and the frustration felt by millions of our people over the undemocratic transformation of our country by our political masters, the BNP actually defuses tensions. Where there is 'hate' we seek to turn it into righteous anger and political action against the only people who deserve to be hated - the politicians who use our taxes to turn our country into a place where we often feel like strangers in our own land.

    Looking forward to seeing Nick give the Beelzebub Broadcasting Company a lesson tonight. This man speaks pure common sense - something this country needs more than food to eat, water to drink and oxygen to breathe.
    Best wishes!

    Am I the only person who feels physically sick when I hear of a ‘white’ season on TV? I feel like a guinea pig for there little social experiment. Its so patronising and degrading. I feel humiliated. I am not just some statistic. I am a member of a distinct group of people. I have a right to an ethnic homeland, and I don’t want to share it with Indians, Africans or anyone else. Am I really asking too much to want a country of my own? I am native British and my skin colour is just one of many features that distinguish me from the many other peoples of the world. How can the BBC be so offensive? Why do they hate us so much?

  3. Winston on March 6th, 2008 3:58 pm

    Be prepared for some dirty tricks like the plug being pulled as Nick is speaking or the lights going out. It will be no ordinary, without-incident interview. The BBC are experts at spinning the blind truth into a blatant lie. I hope it is going out live but suspect it will be a pre-recorded piece of Newsnight?
    Rule Britannia Nick!

    The BNP is growing by the day and is gaining a reputation as a moderate centre-right Party whose leader speaks common sense. We have a right to have a voice on programmes such as ” Newsnight”. I for one am in no way saying a big thanks to the BBC for allowing our leader to speak on their show. The BBC have lost the public’s support as they stem free speech and their hierarchy is full of out-of-date extreme lefties. We as a Party will grow with or without the BBC.

  5. Fatso on March 6th, 2008 4:47 pm

    Like others, I fear that this will merely be an opportunity for the BBC to lampoon Nick, and you can bet he will not get a fair hearing or be allowed to speak. Contrast this with the red carpets that are laid out by the BBC for the apologists of Islamic terror!

  6. PJD on March 6th, 2008 5:19 pm

    Best wishes to the Chairman of our Party, Mr Nick Griffin in your interview. I’m sure your lucidity and grasp of facts will prevail with viewers, most of whom now regard the BBC as a propaganda tool. “The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.” (Proverbs 15 v 2)

  7. Mr Average on March 6th, 2008 5:22 pm

    Good luck, Nick!

  8. militarycoup on March 6th, 2008 5:23 pm

    I agree with Winston. The Liblabcon are well aware of their treachery against the indeginous British population, and the growing support for the BNP at the detriment of their Liblabcon party. All trust is lost for them. This will be a wounded elephant moment for them: they will be looking to kill the hunter. There are millions of people out there waiting to hear a strong clear strategy and policies to match, to help make up their minds. Truth and right is on our side. All they have is lies and deceit.

  9. jao7 on March 6th, 2008 5:24 pm

    I listen to Talk Sports in my working day and I did hear that our Chairman, Mr.Griffin would not be on because other guests would not converse with him. Any politician with conviction would of course share a platform with any other politician to be seen to win a debate, and humble his opposition. Clearly Mr.Griffin is feared for his common sense, logic, great intellect, and knowledge of our history and culture. I hope I am proved wrong and he is on.

  10. WelshPatriot on March 6th, 2008 5:52 pm

    Good comment by davidcopperfield. I hope they give Nick a fair crack. He is doing a fantastic job of modernising the party. We are becoming more and more electable by the day. Even Labour are talking about voluntary repatriation now! How can they go on stealing the BNP’s clothes, and then say they will not share a platform with us!

  11. iiwn on March 6th, 2008 5:56 pm

    Great news. Forget BBC dirty tricks - the *significant* fact is that the BBC feel compelled to give Griffin a voice. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t. I feel at last that we are turning a corner. Indigenous Europeans are waking up to the threat that they face on their own continent, and soon the likes of the BBC will be clinging to their shirt tails.

  12. LANCASHIREMAN on March 6th, 2008 6:03 pm

    My thoughts exactly, CORINTHIAN. You are not the only one who feels disgusted in having a ‘white’ season screened by our anti-British Broadcasting Company. This strikes me as being much more than a little bit patronising. We shall see. NICK on NEWSNIGHT! Well, I never! I just hope that it’s not a one-off token appearance, and they allow him a fair chance to put his opinion across.

  13. carolfarrell on March 6th, 2008 6:09 pm

    The BNP are very brave people indeed. They are putting our country first and being demonised because of it. Come on, all you from the old fashioned Workers Unions who I used to work alongside 30 odd yrs ago, support the BNP and take your country back.

  14. PT on March 6th, 2008 6:17 pm

    Good luck Nick, the BNP is the ONLY party in the UK that has the guts and integrity to stick up for us.

  15. medion on March 6th, 2008 6:18 pm

    Good luck Nick, and give them hell!

  16. John L on March 6th, 2008 6:20 pm

    Once again, will people kindly stop talking in terms of “white”. We are ENGLISH, or SCOTS, or WELSH or IRISH. Others on these islands of a recognisably different provenance and ethnicity may be accurately described as “Afro-Carribean”, “Asian”, “Oriental”, or whatever, but they will, by definition, never be English, Scots, Irish or Welsh. Our cultural identities cannot simply be reduced to a matter of skin pigmentation since this alone does not define us. In any case, so-called “white” skin pigmentation is shared by all other European nationalities, as well as by Scandinavians, Slavs, Russians, Japanese, Chinese, and not forgetting our North American and antipodean cousins of European extraction. To label all indigenous “non-ethnic” individuals on these islands as merely “white” is ignorant, insulting and offensive.

  17. toby on March 6th, 2008 7:57 pm

    I hope that Mr Griffin is given a fair interview, and the chance to say what he has to say. I fear, however, that the BBC will distort what he has to say

  18. billy on March 6th, 2008 8:16 pm

    At last the tide is turning. The BNP is like the call for a EU referendum. They know people want it, so the traitors in Westminster just ignore it. I don’t think they can afford to ignore the BNP any more, and they know it. There are too many British people who agree with BNP policies, that even the traitors know now that the BNP is a huge threat to them. Good luck tonight Nick

  19. the likes of us on March 6th, 2008 9:31 pm

    So the liberal elite finally realise how out-of-touch they are. I for one refuse to commend them for essentially shutting the gate once the horse has bolted. This is simply a cynical attempt to relate to the forgotten masses and will no doubt be a hatchet job. As i’ve previuosly remarked; BBC we see through thee.

  20. Lautoka on March 6th, 2008 9:42 pm

    I hope that Nick Griffin is aware of the overwhelming response to the BBC’s “Have Your Say” question about whether the white working classes are ignored: http://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thread.jspa?forumID=4418&edition=1&ttl=20080306213719 At the last count the responses were coming in at over 400 an hour. It might be worth mentioning.

    Jonh L said…
    “Others on these islands of a recognisably different provenance and ethnicity may be accurately described as “Afro-Carribean”, “Asian”, “Oriental”, or whatever”–Does whatever include ‘locals’?

    ‘LOCALS’ ABUSE AIRMEN: “Airmen at one of Britain’s most famous RAF bases have been advised not to wear uniforms when they visit a nearby city, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said. Senior officers at RAF Wittering near Peterborough, Cambs, fear that servicemen and women will be abused by locals who oppose British involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq. An MoD spokesman said the decision was a local one made by station commanders. He said generally soldiers, airmen and sailors were encouraged to wear uniforms in public.

    Defence Secretary Des Browne described the situation as a “great shame”. “We must defend our forces’ right to wear their uniforms in public,” said Mr Browne. “It is a great shame that some individuals in this community don’t respect our forces - who are daily doing a great deal for this nation. This is not a situation we should tolerate. We are investigating it as a matter of urgency. I hope that by working closely with Peterborough City Council and the local police, service personnel at RAF Wittering will soon be able to wear their uniforms freely about the town with the support of the local people.”

    A spokeswoman for Cambridgeshire Police said she was not aware of any incidents of servicemen being attacked or abused in Peterborough.” From http://www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/31448

    Who are these ‘locals’? Are they indigenous, or similar to the ‘locals’ in Birmingham?

  22. englishboy on March 6th, 2008 10:32 pm

    I am watching Newsnight right now. He’s up against that vile traitor Margaret Hodge. It should be great if he’s allowed a word in.

  23. Mendal on March 6th, 2008 11:56 pm

    Nick hardly got a say in the debate…. None of the four being interviewed had a clue on what they were on about. Hodge answered everything except the question being asked (like most politicians do) and kept waffling on about “listening to everyone”. The bald twit could hardly string two English words together, let alone present an argument. The black man spoke total and utter rubbish about how ethnic groups are also suffering. He must have forgotten about all the benefits that are claimed which, on top of everything else, are sucking this country dry. And the large man in the middle had absolutely no clue at all about what is going on.

    After I realised that the 5 minutes shown of Nick Griffin were all we were going to get, I switched the channel. The other four twits had absolutely no clue and only made my blood boil.

  24. UprightMan on March 6th, 2008 11:57 pm

    Well Nick was on, but segregated in a pre-recorded interview with Kirsty Wark. The idiot from Talksport was gunning for Margaret Hodge, who looked like a Toby Jug sitting there, making me think that he was pretty reasonable, but then he savaged Nick, calling him a knuckle-dragger, and saying his words made him puke. The RMT guy wanted a multicultural working class world, and the black guy was there so that Talksport guy could say that the Union Jack was his and their’s but not Nick Griffin’s. Nick sounded fine and wasn’t intimidated by Kirsty Warks attempts to belittle the BNP.

  25. Peter on March 7th, 2008 12:03 am

    NEWSNIGHT - Well done Nick - I think you aquitted yourself very well in the face of such hostility. The fact that Mr ‘Talksport’ Gaunt found it necessary to abuse you speaks volumes. What are these people so scared of ?

  26. ianpenrhyndd on March 7th, 2008 12:05 am

    There was only one that reason Nick was on TV, and that is that the BBC got loads of complaints from the people who pay for them. Remember, keep complaining and keep campaigning for the abolition of their subsidy. It was a pity that BNP councillors were denigrated as useless with no comment. Barking and Dagenham Budget Proposal Ignored. Also why was Nick interviewed separately? Let’s see how the reporting goes for the May elections.

    The figures 2006 to 2007 was an increase of 28%. If you want a change, we must increase this. Did I hear “NO PROBLEM” (?)–well, make it happen.

  27. falcons1988 on March 7th, 2008 12:07 am

    I thought it was appalling that Nick did not contribute in open debate. Instead he was recorded earlier and as usual the clip was edited.

  28. WHISTLE on March 7th, 2008 12:07 am

    After watching Newsnight, I think that Nick was not given a fair crack of the whip. When he spoke of drug dealing with the Muslim community, he was dismissed as a ‘Racist’, but we know that he is right and they dare not admit it. As for that TRAITOR Crowe, he thinks he speaks for the workers, but he has his head stuck fair and square up his own backside. John Gaunt, who is he? Hodge has completely lost it. WE MUST do well in London, and show that lot what real people are like, and what we are capable of doing. I am still having trouble logging on to this site in the evening.

  29. Ernald on March 7th, 2008 12:14 am

    Why was Nick Griffin kept out of the general studio discussion? Couldn’t be because they were afraid that he would outclass the other speakers could it?

  30. Artorius on March 7th, 2008 12:15 am

    Brilliant job by Nick. Gasps of horror when he said that heroin is a weapon of Islamic jihad (I’m suprised that got through)

    Margaret ‘come and fiddle the kiddies’ Hodge came across as a complacent, sneering, arrogant, hypocritical, lying intellectual snob and a totally worthless waste of space.

  31. LividTech on March 7th, 2008 12:28 am

    I think that this site needs a faster web server or connection, to better cope with growing traffic. I had trouble getting any page to load!

    I thought that Nick Griffin made some fair points. It was a pity that he was isolated and could not have a proper debate with those hypocrites. I think the panel either had irrational hate for him or feared that he would steal the limelight. I thought that Margaret Hodge was quite evasive and condescending, and as the panel stated, she confirmed how out-of-touch and arrogant she is, as she only barely admits that there are problems with multiculturalism.

    I do agree that this BBC White season is insulting and divisive, because it muddies British identity and nationalities. I also agree that the concerns are not limited to people with white skin.

  32. John L on March 7th, 2008 12:45 am

    Thanks, Artorius, bit I’m not quite sure I follow you. My “whatever” label was simply meant to include any other non-indigenous group not deemed to be included in the groups I listed, and who cannot be guaranteeed not to be antipathetic to the mindset of the indigenous groups. The “locals” you speak of seem to be that obnoxious, mindless, sogggy left-wing
    element who have been so indoctrinated by the incessant anti-british, marxist propaganda excreted by the current established media and education system that they have lost all notions of respect, loyalty and consideration for those who have responded legitimately to the call of their(ostensibly) properly authorised democratic agencies acting for and on behalf of the majority in this country. Whatever the rights and wrongs of these “democratic agencies” in implementing whatever policy, our friends in the armed forces deserve the consideration and respect due for selflessly doing their duty and implementing the (theoretically) democratically formulated intentions of the majority in this country. If there is a discrepancy here, it is not the fault of those in uniform at the business-end of this little scenario; they are simply doing what they’re told by those who purport to represent the majority in this country. Any attack on them is disgustingly cowardly and inappropriate and typical of those who haven’t the backbone to put themselves in the firing line and tackle the (sic) “big fish” (politicians) who are really responsible for any perceived misdemenours.

  33. Alex on March 7th, 2008 1:48 am

    “Am I really asking too much to want a country of my own?”

    No corinthian, you’re not. But sadly if you’re white you’re not entitled to your own race, nation or culture. That’s racist. Although it would be called pride if you weren’t white.

    Is the program live? If not then it’s very easy to edit and make Nick look bad. In any case i wish him the best of luck and i’m sure he’ll make a great interview.

  34. littletimmy on March 7th, 2008 2:11 am

    Blimey! Well done Nick… You notice that these useless foul mouth gits are quite happy to call Nick names when he is not there to defend himself. Brave people these ha ha Nick was a paragon of what we believe to be true this evening well done to him. Again, the only answer these goons had was to call him (and by proxy US!) horrible names. I don’t think that an hysterical outburst is any valid contribution to a constructive and logical debate. Well done Nick we are all with you pal. The truth prevails … the goons only help our cause with every piece of twatty drivel they utter..

  35. AgentIron on March 7th, 2008 2:24 am

    Margaret hodge`s soloution on newsnight:

    `come in, have a coffee and a chocolate biscuit with me`

    Unbeleivable!

  36. Gamlegorm The White on March 7th, 2008 6:33 am

    Most of the programme was taken up by a small odious but vociferous group of unintelligible bickering criminals, hedge-hogging on each other.

    As an aside reading through yesterday’s newspaper I noticed that yet another BBC criminal radio and TV news reporter Jonny Dymond was arrested at Lithuania Airport for serious drug offences.

    Nick Griffin without doubt was the only honest and decent person to take part in the BBC Newsnight programme yesterday.

  37. Mister J on March 7th, 2008 7:06 am

    I thought Nick was very impressive. The BNP are very lucky to have him as leader.

  38. Fly on March 7th, 2008 7:55 am

    After watching last night’s BBC Newsnight, the most heartening message is, the middle classes are now feeling the pain (as we all knew they would - given time) there is now almost a complete consensus of opposition to the race replacement programme.

    Anyone posting or reading these comments who are Sun readers, now you know where their loyalties lie.

    All in all, this was a bog standard BBC effort, well done, another 100,000 supporters for this site - keep it up.

  39. BC1959 on March 7th, 2008 8:43 am

    What a performance… not Nick of course, as that goes without saying. I’m talking about that fat lazy parasite, John Gaunt. He called Nick Griffin a ”nuckledragger”. Now that’s like calling Enoch Powell a ”dumb fool” who could not string a sentence together. Nick Griffin was not even allowed in the same studio as these buffoons. On the other hand, why spoil a good suit… well done Nick.

  40. Winston on March 7th, 2008 8:44 am

    Anybody who wants to send an email to Jon Gaunt, after his totally uncalled for and scurrilous remark about Nick Griffin and the BNP, should send it to: jon@gaunty.com This ‘Gaunty’ pr*ck was vocal in the extreme throughout and it says something about his outrageous behaviour when Kirsty Wark had to almost come to Nick’s defence to remind Gaunty that the BNP was a legal and democratic party! Send him an ‘ebomb’ everyone. Well done Nick. Got it on DVD for all time.

  41. UK friend from Serbia on March 7th, 2008 9:21 am

    I’ve posted the following comment on BBCs’ ‘Have Your Say’ debate called ‘Are white working class people ignored in Britain?’:

    “Actually, the sole title of this HYS splits those who are ignored the most in modern New Labour Britain. It’s not only about ‘white’ or ‘working class’, it’s about those good indigenous British people who care more about their children then about immigrants, who care more about Britain then about EU, who care more about London then about Baghdad. People of Britain, I hope you all start being more BRITISH correct then politically correct.”

    That’s about all I have to say on this subject.

    Greetings from Serbia….

    Barnes’ view of the Newsnight prog -

    http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2008/03/bbc-newnight-interview.html

    The term “Smirking class” is spot on. I suggest we all use it to describe those types from now on.

  44. mark_rossendale on March 7th, 2008 10:00 am

    I saw Nick on Newsnight last night; he made a really good point he said something about Islam and heroin having a connection in the uk. They had a guy on with glasses, I don’t know his name, anyway this guy said Nick was talking rubbish about Islam and drugs having a connection and he said Nick was a knuckle dragger kind of implying he was some sort of thug, I’m guessing to discredit Nick, make him look bad, but it never work’s. All publicity is good publicity. My point is Islam clearly does have a major role in the drugs trade. Afghanistan is an Islamic state and a hugh producer of heroin. For anyone to deny Islam and drugs are not connected is just totally ridiculous.

  45. Ragnar on March 7th, 2008 10:00 am

    I fail to see the point of the previous poster’s comment that the label ‘White’ is “ignorant, insulting, offensive”. It’s not ignorant because how otherwise can one refer to the race as a whole?

    The comment that the term is “insulting” and “offensive”, which are virtual synonyms, is scarcely intelligible. With Britain under attack from uncontrolled mass immigration and hence the Bitish identity subject to severe stresses, surely the one thing these “Afro-Carribeans”, “Asians”, “Orientals” et al can’t be is White. Indeed I would argue that race is a more fundamental category than gender, as some individuals have managed, through surgical manipulation, to change their sex; in all history, however, ther has been only one person, Michael Jackson, able to change his colour.

  46. esselliott on March 7th, 2008 10:29 am

    What is a knuckle dragger?
    Gaunt keeps calling me one. I am beginning to get a complex.
    When Nick was invited on Newsnight I knew that he would not be given a fair hearing and he wasn’t.
    What cowards the BBC are, scared to face the truth unless it is ” their truth ”
    Anyway enough of that I’m just going out to beat the **** out of Jon Gaunt.

  47. pat_riot on March 7th, 2008 10:37 am

    The BBC feared that by highlighting the plight of the white working class people might actually come to their senses and vote BNP. To counter this they rigged up an interview with demon possessed Margaret Hodges and the three ‘alright me ‘ol Mullah’ stooges to woo the white working classes into anti British National party sentiment. Fortunately Nick shines with so much truth, common sense and practicality that its impossible not to empathise wih him. As for Hodges – what a laugh! Certainly the humour in this comedy/tragedy piece of theatre. She did nothing but deflect questions by grinning and blabbering ‘it’s a cross party problem’ and ‘it’s too complex to discuss’. Her only solution is that betrayed Brits bow down to the pagan god of the chocolate hob nob and sip from the tall skinny cafe-latte of life. What a joker!

  48. THELMA H on March 7th, 2008 10:39 am

    I watched the ‘Newsnight’ programme with interest to see what the Broon Broadcasting Company were going to pull out of the hat.
    I saw Margaret Hodge prattling on about how her party listens to the people (at this point nobody butted in and asked her that if that were true then why have we not been allowed an election on the EU) thus missing a golden opportunity. I saw a bald guy that was not making a lot of sense. A black guy who was probably the best speaker of the trio but was totally missing the point. Then there was Gaunty sitting there mouthing off like an absolute yobbo who only seemed to make his point by trying to put other people down. He came across exactly as I thought he would - an uneducated mouthy prat. Which leads me to my question - Can anybody out there please tell me what a knuckle dragger is ? I was never taught this word at school and I am wondering if it’s a word that the idiot John Gaunt has made up himself!

  49. Stephen Scarborough on March 7th, 2008 10:39 am

    Those childish little twerps at the BBC have been at it again. Surely I’m not the only person to have noticed the way in which the studio lighting was deliberately manipulated to give Mr Griffin a somewhat cadaverous pallor. I’m certain that this was a feeble act of sabotage on the part of the Newsnight editorial staff. But it’s the kind of petty vindictiveness we’ve come to expect from the BBC.

    The “debate” that preceded Mr Griffin’s appearance was predictably banal. I can’t even be bothered to comment upon it. Suffice it to say, Bob Crowe is one of the nastiest pieces of work I have ever encountered. As for that turd John Gaunt, who does he think he is? He likes to style himself as a straight talking, common-sensical patriot who detests New Labour and all its works. In reality he is a pathetic mealy mouthed little coward who hasn’t got the guts to stick his neck out for fear of losing his cushy little number at The Sun.

    Let’s not forget that this creep is an employee of Rupert Murdoch. Gaunt’s job is to say just enough to sell newspapers to thoroughly decent, yet, sadly misguided, Britons who think he is “one of us”. He is not! Anyone who repeats the absurd cliche that second and third generation Third World immigrants are “as British as I am” is nothing more than a traitor, and a moronic one to boot!

    Third World immigrants are not “British”, they never were and they never will be!

    I was very pleased that so many contributors referred to themselves and their compatriots as English rather than “white”. This is very important. We are not just some other “ethnic group”, who happen to inhabit these islands. We are an ancient people, and we are the masters of this green and pleasant land. This is OUR country and it’s about time we took it back!

  50. Fly on March 7th, 2008 11:01 am

    After watching BBC Newsnight last night it is clear the BBC is beat, they are a spent force on this subject, they are tired and their rhetoric is beyond its sell by date.

    After trotting out the tired old race card they are mentally bankrupt, bereft of further ideas, they they are at a complete loss, other than to be as offensive as the odious Sun of Gaunt.

    We’ve got them on the run, there is nothing more than they can do to, ‘cept put us all in prison (or worse) The BBC are naked, they’re has beens, why the hell do we keep paying our licence fees for such trash.

    We’re having to buy the rope they hope to hang us with - dipsticks!

  51. GTB on March 7th, 2008 11:28 am

    Email to Mr Gaunt:

    Dear Mr Gaunt,

    As a member of the BNP I found your comments on Newsnight disgusting. To label Nick Griffin (and his party members) as knuckle draggers when he could not defend himself in person is childish school playground behaviour.

    I am a successful businessman running 3 companies and have worked hard all my life. It was my privelege to meet Nick Griffin at a local meeting 2 weeks ago and shake the hand of the only politician in this country who has the balls to address the real issues facing this island of ours.

    If you class me as a BNP knuckledragger then you really don`t have a clue about the BNP or its growing number of members.

    The tide is turning and it`s time that people like you crawled back under the stones you emerged from.

  52. Winston on March 7th, 2008 11:32 am

    mark_rossendale: it’s name is Jon Gaunt jon@gaunty.com and I urge everyone to send this ignoramus a sweet email. His totally unprovoked (Nick was not there and had no chance of reply) remarks were a disgrace. He even questioned Newsnights decision to allow Nick into the ‘debate’ and had to be reminded that this was a democracy and BNP were a legal political party! Gaunty the dope is a knuckle dragger without a brain himself, who also likes the sound of his own voice too much.

    Notice Nick standing with the background to the “The Crescent, Bath” Beautiful Architecture. Not one Polish builder needed to build it!

  54. norfstar on March 7th, 2008 11:47 am

    Well done Nick - the “no platform for the BNP” policies employed by various liberal-left organisations such as the BBC seems to be beginning to fall apart at last - I hope the trend continues as we continue to gain strength, support and numbers.

    On a side note, I posted a comment on the BBC’s “Have Your Say” question about whether the white working classes are ignored - and it didn’t get published (despite being fairly tame). I wonder whether the individual moderating the responses has any concept of irony!

  55. Ragnar on March 7th, 2008 12:29 pm

    While everyone here is congratulating Nick Griffin on his performance last night, and I would certainly want to add to this, I would like also to praise the Blatantly Biased Corporation for the subtle yet powerful air of ‘menace’ they conveyed, through the magic of studio lighting, during the Wark interview. Did you notice the long shadows and the dishevelled hair of the Wark woman? It was if she had been up all night trying to make this racist see sense! I’m surprised the BBC didn’t play menacing background music, like the Jaws theme, to emphasise the mood! All this, of course, contrived to disuade the average punter from voting BNP. That and the hired ‘Littlejohn’ Gaunt- whose position could, superficially, be most associated with the BNP- who was the most vocal in his rejection of Nick Griffin, in order, no doubt, to create the illusion of a viable alternative to the BNP.

  56. samba on March 7th, 2008 12:39 pm

    Jon Gaunt made me vomit, and that Crow wanted MORE rights for migrant workers. I hope his union members see now and sack him. However my friends we must not lose sight of the bigger picture. Although it was a great coup to get our leader on prime t.v, we must remember this was the same organization that was colluding with the police, seachlight, and a undercover reporter with the help of a unspeakable traitor, to get Nick and our publicist Mark Collett in jail. So with the huge support we are getting, now are the BBC trying to make amends for their ghastley actions by giving our future P.M a fair crack of the whip.

  57. Stanley Aetion on March 7th, 2008 12:43 pm

    I thought that Nick Griffin carried off the interview with dignity and authority, quite unlike Jon Gaunt who by shouting down any other speaker he disagreed with and resorting to abusive, unfounded remarks about members of the BNP showed who the real “knuckledragger” was.

  58. the likes of us on March 7th, 2008 12:47 pm

    Scoop! “Jon Gaunt loses half his audience in ill-judged, idiotic tirade.”

  59. pat_riot on March 7th, 2008 1:06 pm

    I’m sure Jon Gaunt is too preoccupied gratifying himself with the five knuckle shuffle to even think about what a knuckle dragger is!

  60. Defiant on March 7th, 2008 1:16 pm

    Shame really. I think Nick could have shut Gaunty up by pointing out the countries were the drugs come do happen to be Muslim ones. Gaunty couldn’t have tried shooting him down then because this is a fact!

  61. baz on March 7th, 2008 1:17 pm

    Must have been white hot at eleven last night. I have a fast computer but couldn’t get on site. So I have had to wait until now to have my say.
    It was the first time that I had seen Gaunt in the so called flesh after only hearing his screechy high pitched voice on Talk Sport. I will not descend to his level by derogatory name calling, ………….. yes I will, What a prat he is! I’m supprised, he looked all most human. That was probably because he was seated between the other two automatons, and facing that Foreign born harridan M Dodge the Question at any cost.
    Thats better of my chest. Now back to the interveiw. We as a party must get savvy to the techniques employed by broadcasters who wish to show the subject in the worst possible light. On this occasion the three subjects in the main interveiw were seen in a well lit studio whilst Nick was interveiwed in a room with a dark back drop, only light on his face.
    THIS GIVE THE SUBLIMINAL EFFECT OF DARK FORCES AT PLAY. And secondly makes the interveiwed look pasty.
    Now people out there may think this is somewhat paranoid. It isn’t, its first year broadcast schooling, and as I said before we must get savvy. I have raised these issues before with both **** and * ******* and the response was that getting our point across on tv outweighed their negative aspects of the broadcast. I do understand that we are at a dissadvantage when they run the system, but I think that now we are so important in the whole political game that we must demand that the press treat our leader with common respect. Even though they may detest the truthful message he delivers.

  62. Defiant on March 7th, 2008 1:19 pm

    Don’t forget Gaunty has to be careful because of the liberal/left.
    I remember what happened to another DJ who let rip after a Muslim phoned in his show and ripped the British.
    I’m sure there will be people who remember James Stanage?

    This is the same John Gaunt who slunk away from confrontation and said nothing when
    accosted by three teenage black youths in his first class train compartment at Clapham junction.
    Quite the typical loud mouthed bully when there is no opposition isn’t he ?

    -

    Gaunt is the typical loud-mouthed, hide-behind-others bully and coward.

    Being a nationalist and former member of a now anti nationalist, PC and social democrat SNP, I have had experience of being demonised for my nationalism by the lib/lab/con.
    The answer is to be firm in your national identity, disciplined and persevere in the aim for an England for the English and friends, and beware of entryism.

  65. essemess on March 7th, 2008 3:51 pm

    Although the references to Pakistan, Islam and drugs were poorly worded, they were factually correct.

    Afghanistan, a 99% Muslim country, is the worlds number one producer of heroin and the majority of opium stockpiles in Afghanistan have been shifted into:

    Pakistan (population Sunni Muslim77%, Shi’a Muslim 20%)
    Uzbekistan (population Sunni Muslim 88%)
    Tajikistan (population Sunni Muslim 85%, Shi’a Muslim 5%,)
    Kazakstan (population Muslim 47%).

    The facts are that the worlds biggest producer of heroin is almost completely Muslim, as are the surrounding states that are used in the first steps of the supply chain.

    Nicks comments could have been put (or edited?) a better or perhaps not made at all. But, taken in terms of the where the drugs are produced and shipped from, what he said was factually correct.

    (Population figures from from CIA world fact book - https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html)

  66. RedWhiteandBlue on March 7th, 2008 4:00 pm

    Nick, congratulations! BNP gets my vote.
    Now we just need the beeb or other platform to allow a proper debate about the issues.
    With Nick in the same room as the half-wits they choose to pit against him.

  67. Strider on March 7th, 2008 4:01 pm

    There are some important points to be made here.

    Firstly we all know the BBC is a New Labour mouthpiece. Therefore without the BNP, the ‘White Season’ would never have even been considered.

    Secondly, the series will run right up to the May elections. If the Financial Times article is anything to go by, this series may be good for us. At the very least it will put the letters ‘BNP’ on the lips of voters at just the right time.

    Finally, if the series pulls in viewers, the Beeb may capitulate slightly and put viewing figures before politics, and produce more of the same. Competition is fierce in the TV business.

    Remember, we don’t need the media ‘on our side’; we merely need to be seen and heard.

    Very soon, if not already, the British Public will be completely ignoring the media slurs as they become second class citizens in their own land.

    Then we can make the most of the change in attitude.

    -

    A reasonable enough, and probably accurate assesment of the situation and its further development, Strider. - Ed

  68. ronaldot on March 7th, 2008 4:12 pm

    Gaunt had a few odd points but no courage of his convictions, had to have a go at Nick and the BNP as I am sure scared of his job. As for the nutter Bob Crow I am certain a BLACKBIRD has a bigger brain then he has what a no no.

  69. militarycoup on March 7th, 2008 4:22 pm

    John Gaunt , what an idiot! All these safety valve writers that the one sided press employ **** their pants when it comes to the punch line and end up making themselves the joke by failing to state the obvious. The 1970’s union leader was consistant, but with added 1990’s political incorrectness when it came to indiginous workers. I thought he was gonna start singing “I’d like to teach the world to sing” whilst swaying from side to side. Margaret Hodge, she just doesn’t seem to understand the REAL people or anything that happens outside in the REAL world. Reminds me of someone like Marie Antoiunette. Its like she’s only ever read about the outside world in book, and never had to go out in it herself. The black bloke just looked bemused by the behavior of the other three. Probably thinking, why are these British people always rubbishing each other and ruining their own country.

  70. PJD on March 7th, 2008 4:58 pm

    Well done, Nick Griffin, under trying and biased circumstances.
    This was just a caricature of democracy and free speech by the BBC.
    Coupled with the recent exclusion of the BNP’s mayoral candidate, Richard Barnbrook, from debate on an excuse so flimsy as to be obviously biased.
    Plus the frequent invitations to debate issues that go out to liblabcon politico’s and that lie unanswered.
    1) they are getting scared as this knowledge is spreading.
    2) Gaunt calling anyone a “knuckledragger” has to be good for a laugh; this man could be the role model for the yob the media is so fond of portraying.

  71. Lickyalips on March 7th, 2008 5:10 pm

    Ironically, news elsewhere on this site concerning the jailing of two of the adherents of the religion of peace for distributing hard drugs, exonerates Nick’s much criticised assertion that they are responsible for distributing drugs.

    That should wipe the froth from the critics’ mouths.

    You couldn’t have timed it better, Nick.

  72. Winston on March 7th, 2008 5:24 pm

    Ernald asks, “Why was Nick Griffin kept out of the general studio discussion?” I’m kind of relieved that Nick was not there and for once the BBC have unwittingly done us a favour.

    Nick would have been the only normal person there and it would have taken the patience of a Saint, for a normal person not to stick his fist down Gaunts throat while others got a word in edgeways - even though the others had nothing useful to say, except, “Anyone for coffee and a chocolate biscuit”? …while Nick was asking Gaunty “One THUMP or two?” after the Sun swine made those disparaging remarks about us. It would have been a fisticuffs riot caused by motormouth Gaunt but who would have got the blame?

  73. Guy Gibson on March 7th, 2008 5:36 pm

    Great to see the rancid BBC score yet another “own goal”.

    By only allowing Nick to appear in a video clip and not amongst the awful bunch of 4 in open debate they have confirmed what the whole nation is complaining about - THE LACK OF FREE SPEECH !

    I dare say the irony of it all went well above their heads but let us hope this discraceful episode will awaken yet another few thousand Brits out there that are slumbering.

  74. Ray Boyd on March 7th, 2008 5:42 pm

    Gaunt is a fool if he doesn’t think that Muslims are involved in the drug trade.
    It is well documented. It seems to me that both the media and the police want to keep the truth from us.

    I am not a BNP supporter but I heard nothing last night that I didn’t agree with.
    Go to my blogsite for a full account of Nick Griffin on Newsnight with a link to the vid I uploaded to YouTube today: Link from my login name.

    Drugs, Immigration and Jihad -

    http://leejohnbarnes.blogspot.com/2008/03/drugs-immigration-and-jihad.html

    Nick spoke the truth.
    Interviewer - “Some people would disagree with that”
    Of course they would dear, of course they would.

  76. paladin2 on March 7th, 2008 6:25 pm

    Margaret Hodge made me laugh, she should take up stand up comedy.

    “I invite people in for coffee and biscuits”

    WOW.

    No wonder the county is breaking apart, she came across as such an out of touch idiot!

    I think Nick did ok, his segment was short but he got in a few key points.

    The other idiots on the panel really annoyed me, the worst was the Trade Union tosser, he thinks he’s in pre-revolution russia. Idiot.

    As for the Sun columnist (Can’t remember his name, because I don’t read the Sun) He attacked Hodge ok, but came out with the usual vague rubbish.

    I find the whole idea of the “White Season” very very insulting, the programs they have selected look like Labour PR or marketing spin, everything has to apologise to people and promote Labour ideas and constantly looks down upon Northerners.

    Oh wow, the BBC have decided that the majority in Britain need a couple of little films making about them: I feel so much better!! - Do they think we’re all totally stupid??

    I’m planning on writing to the BBC to complain.

  77. baccy_tin on March 7th, 2008 7:05 pm
  78. neversurrender on March 7th, 2008 7:15 pm

    Wark said that there were people who would dispute Nick’s statement about the connection between Pakistani immigration and heroin, including it emerged, the slovenly yobbo Gaunt.

    I am sure we would all like to know on what grounds they deny the connection, when it is absolutely crystal clear.

    Wark’s following line was that working people were made insecure by globalisation but she failed, quite peversely, to connect mass immigration with globalisation. This is absurd because the globalisation coin has capital movement on one side, and labour movement upon the other.

    Nick’s rejoinder in the very, very short passage of time the PC crew allowed him was brilliant, he fingered the nation destroying, so-called “free trade” policies favoured by Old Gang government.

    Nationalism is absolutely ahead of the game here, and Nick’s comments were extraordinarily perceptive. I think few people in this country realise just how perceptive and ahead of his time Nick’s views actually are. As the economic house of cards collapses Nick thus stakes out nationalism’s territory on the upcoming central battleground which the pathetic and supine Old Gang have already vacated, although most of them are simply too stupid to have realised it.

    What could Nick do with an hour on prime time TV? Nothing the Old Gang would like that’s for sure. This is a flame which will grow into a beacon for our people!

  79. jao7 on March 7th, 2008 7:50 pm

    Well done Mr Griffin.
    The first thing I noticed as others have noticed was the poor lighting. I expect any public with a bit of savvy would have noticed it too.
    Gaunt made an absolute idiot of himself. No chance of an intellectual conversation there.
    Hodge is an out of touch patronizing snob.
    Next time your in my area Mr Griffin pop in and have a cup of tea and a choccy biscuit! Apparently they solve the countries culture problems!

  80. AndrewB on March 7th, 2008 8:01 pm

    I taped the programme, but after reading the comments here I dont think I want to watch it. Lets face it the BBC are never going to do us any favours and would we honestly want them to? The day we are accepted by the likes of the BBC or the liblabcon axis of evil is the day its all over and we might as well jack it in.

  81. Oldfatandloaded on March 7th, 2008 8:04 pm

    John Gaunt:

    “I don’t mind admitting it — I was bricking myself. What was I, a 46-year-old, overweight, out-of-condition bloke meant to do against these yobs ?
    Yes, that’s right. I got up and slinked out of the carriage to the relative safety of the standard class and the company of other passengers who had also been ignoring these thugs’ behaviour.

    What would you have done? Was I a coward? A bottler? ”

    —————

    I’m 10 yrs older than John Gaunt and just as out of shape, the difference is my self respect would not have allowed me to slink away from 15yr old yobs like a frightened rabbit, sadly this country is full of hot aired politicians and media windbags like Gaunty, only too happy to say anything they think the gullible public might like to hear as long as they can preserve their jobs long enough to save for that nice house abroad.

    And yes Gaunt you are a bottler and coward !

  82. Kieronus on March 7th, 2008 8:20 pm

    They don’t make it easy do they…
    A few rapid fire questions segregated off in a side room with no opportunity to reply to slander or even take part in the debate.

    It was fun to see Hodge take a verbal battering.

  83. cynewulf on March 7th, 2008 8:23 pm

    I have just watched a recording of Newsnight. Nick did well and I believe that I detected a certain degree of fluster from Ms Wark. I didn’t think the comment about Pakistani Islamists was necessarily a faux pas. Those who live in areas dominated by them will relate to it. Wark’s response to the effect that ‘not everybody would agree with the statement’ was a stock answer when you haven‘t got a real reply.
    I think much work needs to be done to train more spokesmen and women under simulated hostile conditions to get them used to thinking on their feet and not be intimidated by the occasion or the interviewer.
    The movement also needs to be less defensive in these situations than it has been in the past. For instance when faced by a question like ‘are you racist?’ or ‘do you agree racism is wrong ?’ the answer has been to deny the party is racist or even to condemn racism. This is playing the game on the establishments terms. The response should be ‘racism is a much misused word and is in the eye of the beholder. You define what it is and then I’ll tell you if I’m a racist’ and ‘If racism is the desire to preserve ones own kind, identity, culture within ones own living space then I am a racist and you tell me what is wrong with that???

  84. falcons1988 on March 7th, 2008 9:32 pm

    What Nick Griffin said about drugs and Islam is right. My mates are out in Afghanistan at the moment, and you have a lot on the news about ‘opium’.
    Islamic militants out there grow opium, sell it todrug dealers in Europe, and use the money to buy Arms.

  85. PT on March 7th, 2008 9:54 pm

    Jon Gaunt made himself look a real fool last night. And what a hypocrite. His Talksport show bangs on about FREE SPEECH and yet he questions the BBC’s decision to give Nick Griffin air time. Yes Gaunt, the same airtime you’ve given to Islamic fundamentalists and their supporters. I used to respect Jon Gaunt, but he lost every ounce of that last night. 14 of us watched the show. And every single one singled out Gaunt as by far the worst at the end. At least the others make their stand known. Gaunt hides behind a mask of telling it as it is, and then goes all PC! What a loser.

  86. Winston on March 7th, 2008 11:41 pm

    A little off topic but I did go to Ray Boyd’s blogsite which is very good. I cannot believe that Ray would vote Tory (as he implies) with the views he expresses on that site. I’m somewhat confused because absolutely nothing will change under Cameron and the Islamic Tory Party - and Ray must know this. The Country and Party need people like Ray on board, so why isn’t he? It’s baffling.

  87. Fly on March 8th, 2008 11:11 am

    During Nick’s interview with Kirsty Wark, Nick said (something like) that, our New World Order bosses wanted a universal coffee skinned populace to rule over (more compliant than whites). If this is right, this means that the white race is to be absorbed into the non-white race, which begs the question, is this what mass non-white immigration into white nations is all about, and if it is, how is to be achieved?

    The mind boggles at such a thought.

  88. englandforever on March 8th, 2008 1:48 pm

    Way to go Nick, good stuff, well presented, a good account. Shame that they segregated you from the studio panel, but probably just as well they did–otherwise John Gaunt may have fainted or had a heart attack brought on by being so close to his secret hero.

  89. Ray Boyd on March 8th, 2008 2:36 pm

    I have utmost respect for our Web Team and Moderators. They do a first class job - a job they do willigly and freely. I am not sure what I said to ruffle Ray_Boyd’s feathers but anyone saying ‘I am not a BNP supporter’ is asking for a reaction as to why, when they hold the views that they do. I too have never had the privilege of voting BNP but it does not in any way stop me being a Member and Supporter.

    There is not a single other party that will save this Country of ours from certain catastrophe. Voting Tory because the BNP is not represented on the b
