To think that Nick Griffin is misunderstood and actually a nice chap?

I heard him being interviewed this morning on the Today programme.

Firstly, it turns out he's not racist or against immigration! Apparently, he says it's ok for French people to come here (there's not that many that want to so its ok). AND he says that Irish people can come here too because they're really all British! So that's nice. I was a bit confused because I thought they'd spent all those years bombing us because they didn't want to be British but I guess I've got that all wrong.

He's not going to let Algerian asylum seekers come though, but I don't think it matters because they'll just get killed where they are in their own country so that won't be a problem for them much longer.

And the best thing is... he's going to give £50,000 to anyone who's not "pure British" to leave the country and go back to where they came from! How cool is that! So I'm now deciding whether to go back to my Great-Grandmother's origins in Russia, or my Great Grandfather's in Finland. Now, apparently this money is going to come from what he called stupid anti-Climate Change projects so although much of Russia and pretty much all of Finland is a bit chilly, as the climate changes because they money is being spent on me, they'll get warmer and I'll be all toasty!

Brilliant!

I know Strictly, those lovely beaches and weather, the trodos mountains, good food, want my £50,000 though could help me get a nice little place

pigletmania · 29/04/2010 21:09

my mum hails from Nicosia so would be near there most probably.

EldritchCleavage · 29/04/2010 21:24

On slightly different note mother (accurately) observed that poor DS's hair is 'a bit Nick Griffin' today as it is straight at the front and flops down in griffin/Hitler-esque frine. What can I do, I am desperate! Do they do Studio Line for babies? Please help.

StrictlyKatty · 29/04/2010 21:24

oh you're so lucky Piglet

I wish DH would get posted to Cyprus, the people who do never want to come back.

Although his Dad hails from a wee Med Island so it won't work out too badly for us!

EldritchCleavage · 29/04/2010 21:24

Sorry fringe

StrictlyKatty · 29/04/2010 21:25

But then again what if they won't let me in?! Oh no they are not leaving the EU so they'll have to Happy days!

JustMyTwoPenceWorth · 29/04/2010 21:34

That's a very good point, SK. What if they don't want us? We'll all be stuck on boats in the middle of the atlantic.

After several generations we'll all grow gills and take to the oceans.

Maybe we'll find atlantis and set up there.

ImSoNotTelling · 29/04/2010 21:37

ha yes

turn into mermaids

build fantastic underwater paradise

watch as ng and pals decry climate change and uk sinks

refuse to let him and his mates in

that'll show em

StrictlyKatty · 29/04/2010 21:40

But I have nowhere else to go Hopefully DH's 'ethnic homeland' will be nice and let me tag along

I'm just asked him... he says no we can't take the money and run Spoilsport!

StrictlyKatty · 29/04/2010 21:42

Ohhhhh I'd love to be a mermaid!

pigletmania · 29/04/2010 21:53

I am sure the SK that the good people of Cyprus will let you in with open arms they are very welcoming.

Oh goody! I'm a huge fan of Greek food, and lovely weather and beaches

As I said to DH, if you come from somewhere like Cyprus or France, America, Germany, New Zealand etc I can see this policy actually working out very well for you. It's just those people who only have Sudan or Somalia to go back to that might not be quite so thrilled...

Now, where is that Greek dictionary

StrictlyKatty · 29/04/2010 22:03

sugarmouse do what I did, family tree looking a bit too pure? Find yourself someone with links to somewhere you wouldn't mind living and try and tag along

I bet the new craze won't be Thai brides, it'll be husbands from the Carribean or a nice Indian ocean island!

pigletmania · 29/04/2010 22:17

yum yum all that kofti,hummus,dolma, and of course fresh baklava

What about families which kept moving backwards and forwards between the UK and other parts in the olden days?

scottishmummy · 29/04/2010 22:24

look wise up honey you cant polish a turd,no amount of gushing and nice chap will make him or his odious views palatable

this poor misunderstood nick much berated by media is thoroughly risible

shame his public funded education at cambridge uni hasnt actually imparted any knowledge or wisdom

1998 he has conviction for incitement to racial hatred for material denying the Holocaust.

odious man

StrictlyKatty · 29/04/2010 22:25

sugar that's soooo funny! I'm thinking about upgrading from DH, why settle for the Med when I could aim for somewhere a bit more exotic? Anyone know a nice man, aged 20-40 that can emmigrate with me to somewhere like the Virgin Islands?

StrictlyKatty · 29/04/2010 22:29

scottishmummy what always gets me about Holocaust deniers is this... where do they think 6 million million Jews went?!

I will accept they are right when they prove they are all living on a nice sunny island in the middle of the Indian ocean. However, until that day I really would like to know where they are??? We know there were 6 million more of them than now so there much be an explaination of where they have gone right?!

scottishmummy · 29/04/2010 22:36

holocaust deniers are huge conspiracy theorists eg liberal media/jews conspire to manipulate truth etc

however i do believe in freedom of speech.give griffin et al a platform.most people can differentiate shite form fact

Lulumaam · 30/04/2010 07:23

and what about the holocaust survivors.. what about the Nazis who have been convicted thanks to men like Simon Wiesenthal... obviously the trials and convictions were just for fun.. the nazi diaries that have been found were all made up...?
