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!

OMG Dp you vote BNP yet your DH's grandfather was black?

You are a vile individual' I have no doubt you will come back to justify your opinions but really you are just full of shit.
Nasty, nasty nasty. And without shame to boot.

SELFISH

DP is stirring again...don't provide her with a wooden spoon.

I still firmly believe she isn't all she seems to be, as she has a perfectly functioning brain on some threads.

Bumbleconfusus · 01/05/2010 05:14

or as DPs pictures suggest that it is infact her cat on these threads...

Lulumaam · 01/05/2010 08:09

DP , you did not answer my question! I know jews who've married christians, i know a muslim who married a christian and converted , i know christians who've married jews and converted.. i am married to someone jewish but he's non practicisng and an atheist, so it;s not really 'my kind'
i know some couples where one partner is not white. I know catholics who've married Cof E partners etc

and let's face it, the divorce rate is so high now, that sticking to your own kind is not necessarily a recipe for success

marrying someone you love and can build a life with regardless of their colour etc is a good start

posieparker · 01/05/2010 08:09

Hang on did I read that someone married to a man with close black heritage wants her children to marry white? Wow, what contempt you must hold for your husband DP....fucking disgusting. To deny your children's own heritage and demean it, why would anyone do that?

Lulumaam · 01/05/2010 08:11

also, DP, you say
'When I was getting to know him it never entered my head to ask him what colour his grandfather was.....mad of me I know..."

why is it mad? it would only occur to you if it was important to value racial 'purity'

why would it even matter? unless you were a bigoted racist...

noddyholder · 01/05/2010 09:31

Ha ha what bollocks DP talks!White christians!What white christain would be interested in your part cuban kids.Can you see the flaw in your argument.No pure white indigenous citizen would touch one of your children with a barge pole if they have VIEWS like you!

AitchTwoZone · 01/05/2010 09:34

so if he had mentioned his black heritage on that first date, dp, would you have called time on the relationship there and then?

i think it's time to stop saying your dp is mixed race as a marker for how un-racist you are. clearly you just think that he looks white and therefore is white. i hope nick griffin would be so 'generous'.

RunawayWife · 01/05/2010 10:20

DP you have made me think about my two sons marrying someone from a different race, religion.....and I have decided I would not like it and I would not like it because small minded people like ...well you know would be horrible to them, their partner and any children they have.
It would make me so sad to think they had to face such hate and ignorance.

DP do you really in your heart think the bloody nasty party are anything other then Nazis by a new name?
Do you think that anything they have to say is for the greater good of the people (any and all people) in the country?

Do you really think that every non white person will be rounded up and shipped out?
And while the extremist looneys carry on like this it does more damage to any real and sensible debate about immigration.

I do not like what you say, I will defend your right to say it though and to be honest I think the more you carry on the more you show what nutters the bloody nasty party are

"You reckon Jesus was a 'white Christian'?"

Yes, he was from Cambridge (sorry, too much Eddie Izzard)

But yeah, he'd be kicked out, he wasn't even Christian!

Tut tut, those awful forriners. Can't have them over here, they'll destroy Britain you know?

Marney · 01/05/2010 17:38

Nick has just been on tv saying in answer to a teenagers question the lib demswould introduce the education freedom act to set schools free!!!! I have seen how ofsted and league tables ruined my daughters education and think thats got to be one of the best reasons to vote for him.It could mean pupils picking their own subjects again at gcse pupils not being unfairly stopped from picking science at gcse because the school thing there might be a chance they might fail and affect the league tables .And all children even in the dodgy schools hopefully will have the opportuity to learn the a or b papers in so far as would be reasonable.Wow pupils wont be as likely to be held back!!! He also aims to cut class sizes so low the pupils might be known by their teachers and people wouldnt need to go to private schools

Kaloki · 01/05/2010 17:43

Marney which Nick are you talking about, Clegg or Griffin.. they are a leetle bit different..

daftpunk · 01/05/2010 17:46

Marney;

This is about Nick Griffin, not Nick Clegg....they couldn't be more different if they tried....lol

Kaloki · 01/05/2010 17:47

Marney · 01/05/2010 17:47

AnitaGoffradump · 01/05/2010 17:53
