Many of the BNP polices are fairly attractive, the problems is that they are a bunch of cunts. Antisemitism is very foolish, that's what they were obsessed with before, despite very few Jews in the UK, they've moved on now, but only because Muslims are more effective targets.
Griffin has put out material like The Rune (from one issue):
'the front cover, displayed a drawing of a large white hangman's noose with the words "What has a rope got to do with WHITE UNITY?" on a black background. The editorial to which the cover referred called for the unification of all "white nationalist" organisations into a single body with the purpose of achieving "final victory over those who wish to destroy us so that they can rule forever over a mass of mongrel slaves." Then "payback time" would come, and "we can put the rope to capital work". '
'an article entitled "Inconvenient facts", claimed that Jews held positions in the media and Hollywood vastly disproportionate to their numbers. A cartoon of hens with "Jewish noses" were saying things like "Hens are special" and "Hens are chosen". The cartoon's caption referred to "greedy, pushy power-mad hens". ... the magazine denied the Holocaust, which it called the "Holohoax"'
'When the police were searching his home, Mr Griffin had taken a telephone call and had said that "They're very civilised, not like the Met at all. No Pakis or Jews."'
The policies of the BNP, which are constrained by what they can get away with, are basically indistinguishable from UKIP anyway.
Compare:
Immigration:
BNP:
"we call for an immediate halt to all further immigration, the immediate deportation of criminal and illegal immigrants, and the introduction of a system of voluntary resettlement whereby those immigrants who are legally here will be afforded the opportunity to return to their lands of ethnic origin assisted by a generous financial incentives both for individuals and for the countries in question."
UKIP:
"?We will freeze immigration for five years, speed up deportation of up to a million illegal immigrants by tripling the numbers engaged in deportations, and have ?no home no visa? work permits to ease the housing crisis."
Europe:
BNP:
"we believe that the nations of Europe should be free to trade and cooperate whenever it is mutually beneficial. We stand for British withdrawal from the European Union. In place of the EU, we intend to aim towards greater national self-sufficiency, and to work to restore Britain?s family and trading ties with Australia, Canada and New Zealand, and to trade with the rest of the world as it suits us"
UKIP:
"?UKIP will leave the political EU and trade globally and freely. We will re-embrace today?s fast-growing Commonwealth and we will encourage UK manufacturing so that we make things again."
Crime:
BNP:
"the Human Rights Act would be repealed during the first term of a British Nationalist Government."
"make criminals serve their full sentences"
"Put police back on the streets and remove the political correctness shackles from them"
UKIP:
"?We will give people the vote on policing priorities, go back to proper beat policing and scrap the Human Rights Act. We will have sentences that mean what they say."
Education:
BNP
"Reintroduce grammar schools"
"Abolish full fees and restore full grants to university students studying proper subjects"
UKIP:
"?We will have a grammar school in every town. We will restore standards of education and improve skills training. Student grants will replace student loans."
etc.
They are very similar indeed. The only difference is that the BNP are staffed by violent racists. UKIP are a perfectly viable right-wing party, and one that beat the Labour party in the last election (2009 Euros), with three times as many votes as the BNP, so what is the appeal of racists who sound somewhat reasonable in public, but when amongst themselves get back to their usual ways of violence and racism.
