Is it possible for DNA testing to accurately show a person's ethnic background; and if so would Griffin be willing to take such a test and, should he prove to be anything other than 100% "indiginous", will he stand by his own policies and bugger off?
Griffin's now hijacking and mis-using the term "ethnic cleansing" for his own pathetic means, bleating about how he didn't get a fair hearing from the capital's nasty coloured folk:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2...-question-timeQuote:
"That audience was taken from a city that is no longer British ... That was not my country any more. Why not come down and do it in Thurrock, do it in Stoke, do it in Burnley?
"Do it somewhere where there are still significant numbers of English and British people [living], and they haven't been ethnically cleansed from their own country."
He added: "There is not much support for me there [in London], because the place is dominated by ethnic minorities. There is an ethnic minority that supports me: the English. But there's not many of them left."
Yuk. Thank goodness for Boris (from the same article):
Quote:
"Nick Griffin is right to say London is not his city. London is a welcoming, tolerant, cosmopolitan capital which thrives on its diversity. The secret of its long-term success is its ability to attract the best from wherever they are and allow them to be themselves – unleashing their imagination, creativity and enterprise.
"The BNP has no place here and I again urge Londoners to reject their narrow, extremist and offensive views at every opportunity."
I don't know about accuracy, but this could give some indication:Quote:

You'd need something to match it against, so Dave, keep looking for that pure 100% British person then we'll be able to hit the ground running.Quote:

Anyway, quite why people are so afraid of Griffin is beyond me. Last night the other panelists and audience continually shouted him down whenever he tried to make a point. The best tactic would be to let him answer and hang himself! Holocaust denials? Homophobic views?
I hope the "success" of the BNP acts as a massive kick up the backside for the mainstream parties. If they don't get in touch with the British public and actually start to address the problems, then Griffin and his ilk will get in at the general election.
An absolute tool, Great Leader failled to acknowledge his own council representatives in East London.Quote:

Or the Normans....they only have their DNA in about half the people of England...including members of the BNP. Sounds like the racial purity crap the Nazi's used to spout.Quote:

Didn't he include the Sun and the Daily Mail in that ultra-left wing media conspiracy against him?Quote:

The other thing to remember is that he's the leader of the BNP because he's by far the most articulate, logical telegenic guy they have. The rest of them must be troglodytes.
On the other hand the mainstream parties barely touched on why the BNP has become popular, its not so much about race and immigration as about poor white working class people feeling totally disenfranchised by society and politics. Uneducated and unable to get work, can't see a future, no wonder many turn to them. None of the mainstream guys really tried to address that issue so the BNP can rest assured there'll be a vacuum for them to operate in for some time yet.
The BNP exists because of the faliure of the mainstream political parties to adequately represent the people.
The issues which cause people to be pushed into the grubby clutches of Nasty Nick and his brethren have been consistently ignored, because they are difficult to properly deal with. Jack Straw and others were right to point out and ridicule Griffin's holocaust denial, but at the same time, they didn't adequately engage with the working class people who would have formerly been Labour supporters, who now might be leaning towards the BNP. But then I guess that it's no surprise that gesture politics and opponent bashing take precedence over the provision of solutions to social problems...
I personally know a number of people who work in the food industry in Eastern England, and who have seen their wages plummet over the last 5 or so years, because of mass immigration. I would not be one to blame them for feeling dissatisfied with a government who have failed comprehensively to look after the interest of those who in days gone by would have been its most ardent supporters.
What about all those people you know in the pub, or at work who pepper their speech with enough clues to let you know that they would be voting BNP given the chance. I bet most English people here know a few of those?
Changing the attitudes of people is always hard. I guess the knack is to be able to do it without it appearing to be propoganda.
I guess my real fear is to imagine that someone with skills of oratory and charisma were to be the leader of the BNP, that would be extremely dangerous. Nick Griffin will never be a leader of men, or women for that matter, to be reconed with, he just hasn't got the talent.
