The police aren't allowed to be BNP members because police officers are supposed to support the entire community, no matter ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion, and the BNP's explicitly stated policies run counter to that.

Trying to make sense of your post makes my head hurt.

That's because your brain has been a victim of lobal warming.

Griffin is on live on Sky News in 5 minutes, I think it's to do with the BNP using military imagery as their backdrop saying "Battle of Britain 2009", it has angered Generals and army top brass.

I like how the sky news presenter cuts Griffin off when he doesn't get the soundbite that he's looking for.

Shit, I must be watching a different interview.

You must be.

I liked the way he said how "Our Boys" are left to rot on the streets or in jail by the government and then later on referred to prisioners as "Criminal vermin".

Where's the mistake in that?

It's never that black & white Keith.

He mentioned how a lot of ex servicemen are in prison then referred to prisoners as vermin, thus referring to a lot of ex servicemen as vermin.

A lot of ex servicemen are vermin.

That's not the point though, is it? You asked where the mistake was and I pointed it out. Those words came from the man who claims to be in touch with the forces more than any other political party and how squaddies vote for him and his party. Do you see what I'm getting at or have you moved the goalposts again?

In other words, he made a mistake?

I think the problem people probably have with the BNP using pictures of the spitfire and of Churchill has something to do with comments made in the past, by leading BNP members, about how Churchill was 'a fucking cunt' and the RAF were 'mass murderers' in a 'pointless war against other white people'.

They will be digging up the old Big Nick being gay rumors next.

BNP Compares Generals With Nazi War Criminals

Nick Griffin has compared the army generals who attacked the BNP for "hijacking" the military to Nazi war criminals.

"Those Tory generals who today attacked the British National Party should remember that at the Nuremburg (sic) Trials, the politicians and generals accused of waging illegal aggressive wars were all charged - and hanged - together," he said on the Party's website.

Earlier Mr Griffin rejected accusations from General Sir Mike Jackson and General Sir Richard Dannatt, among others, that political extremists had no right to share the Armed Forces' proud reputation.

"The Nuremburg (sic) War Crimes Trials set the precedent when the leaders of Nazi Germany were charged with invading other countries which represented no military threat to Germany," Mr Griffin added.

"Along with the political leadership of Nazi Germany, the chiefs of staff of the German army, Alfred Jodl and Wilhelm Keitel, were also charged with waging aggressive war.

"Sir Richard and Sir Ken (sic) fall squarely into this bracket, and they must not think that they will escape culpability for pursuing the illegal wars in Iran (sic) and Afghanistan."

Mr Griffin told Sky News the generals' intervention had been "questionable" and "in bad taste".

He said the BNP shared the values of the "old" British military, not necessarily the new "PC British defence establishment".

He added: "Almost everyone at the coalface, out there in Afghanistan especially, the rank-and-file, vote British National Party and support the BNP.

"The generals might not, but of course some of these generals are in the pockets of the Conservative party."

The generals' letter - seen by Sky News - says far-right groups were "fundamentally at odds" with the values of the British military.

The move follows the BNP tactic of using images of Winston Churchill and wartime insignia during recent European election campaigns.

The letter, seen by Sky News, reads: "We call on all those who seek to hijack the good name of Britain's military for their own advantage to cease and desist.

"The values of these extremists - many of whom are essentially racist - are fundamentally at odds with the values of the modern British military, such as tolerance and fairness."

General Jackson specifically attacked the BNP for using the Army's image.

He told The Times: "The BNP is claiming that it has a better relationship with the Armed Forces than other political parties.

"How dare they use the image of the Army, in particular, to promote their policies. These people are beyond the pale."

The letter forms part of a campaign, titled Stolen Valour, by leading military figures and Nothing British, an organisation that monitors the BNP.

It is supported by a YouTube video featuring SAS hero Andy McNab and titled Andy McNab against the BNP and a similar offering by Simon Weston, the Falklands veteran.

James Bethell, who set up Nothing British, told Sky News Online that he was hoping to appeal to the British sense of "fairness and decency" to attack the BNP.

He is urging veterans to sign a petition against the BNP at the organisation's website.

The move by the generals comes after the BBC rejected a call from Cabinet minister Peter Hain to drop BNP leader Nick Griffin from the panel on BBC1's Question Time this Thursday.

"The Nuremburg (sic) War Crimes Trials set the precedent when the leaders of Nazi Germany were charged with invading other countries which represented no military threat to Germany," Mr Griffin added.

"Along with the political leadership of Nazi Germany, the chiefs of staff of the German army, Alfred Jodl and Wilhelm Keitel, were also charged with waging aggressive war.

"Sir Richard and Sir Ken (sic) fall squarely into this bracket, and they must not think that they will escape culpability for pursuing the illegal wars in Iran (sic) and Afghanistan."

The Nazis were invading countries for their own ends though, not fighting a heroic war on terror like us.

Silly Nicholas.

(I'm guessing Iran was a typo in the report)

"Sir Richard and Sir Ken (sic) fall squarely into this bracket, and they must not think that they will escape culpability for pursuing the illegal wars in Iran (sic) and Afghanistan."

So not only does Griffin think that we went to war with Iran, he also misspelled Nuremberg more than once and mixed up Sir Mike Jackson with Sir Ken Jackson?

So not only does Griffin think that we went to war with Iran, he also misspelled Nuremberg more than once and mixed up Sir Mike Jackson with Sir Ken Jackson?

Those Tory generals who today attacked the British National Party should remember that at the Nuremberg Trials, the politicians and generals accused of waging illegal aggressive wars were all charged — and hanged — together.

This was the reaction of Nick Griffin MEP to the announcement that Tory lackeys Sir Richard Dannett and Sir Mike Jackson had broken all military protocol with their statement attacking the BNP.

Mr Griffin also pointed out that it was under Sir Richard’s tenure as Chief of the General Staff that the British Army put a limit on the number of serving foreign troops so as to preserve the “British essence” of that force.

“There is a prima facie case for charging Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, William Hague and David Cameron with waging aggressive war against Iraq,” Mr Griffin said.

“The Nuremberg War Crimes Trials set the precedent when the leaders of Nazi Germany were charged with invading other countries which represented no military threat to Germany.

“Along with the political leadership of Nazi Germany, the chiefs of staff of the German army, Alfred Jodl and Wilhelm Keitel, were also charged with waging aggressive war.

“Sir Richard and Sir Mike fall squarely into this bracket, and they must not think that they will escape culpability for pursuing the illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Mr Griffin said.

“These two gentlemen are Tories who have seen the traditional Conservative vote in the army, from private level up to senior officers, dissolve away and turn into BNP votes,” he said.

“These same generals said nothing when the news broke that Tory and Labour politicians were spending millions on personal expenses courtesy of the taxpayer, despite the army being underfunded.

“Sir Richard said nothing when Mr Cameron charged the taxpayer £680 to clear wisteria from his house’s chimney. Sir Richard said nothing when Jack Straw charged the taxpayer £8000 for a new plasma screen TV.

“Sir Richard said nothing about the fact that low-paid British soldiers have to buy their own kit because the Government has deliberately underfunded the army, despite sending our soldiers to foreign conflicts which have nothing to do with us.

“Yet now Sir Richard sees fit to wade into the public arena with a statement about the BNP. This exposes his typical disgusting Tory hypocrisy and his utter disregard for the ordinary British soldier,” Mr Griffin said.

“It is ironic that in September 2008, the British Army under Sir Richard’s watch, issued instructions to limit the number of foreign recruits,” Mr Griffin continued.

“At the time, official army documents said that the nation must maintain ‘Armed Forces which are predominantly British and whose members reflect and share the culture and values of British society’.

“This is BNP policy, as endorsed by Sir Richard when Chief of Staff. Yet now, because he has been given a job with the Tory party, these same policies are now reprehensible in his eyes.

“This hysterical attack on the BNP is nothing but a dying Tory toady gasp as the ordinary brave and loyal soldiers turn their backs on that party,” Mr Griffin said.

* Mr Griffin also dismissed as “sour grapes” complaints about the use of the Spitfire and quotes from Winston Churchill during BNP campaigns.

“The Spitfire represents the British fighting spirit against Continental totalitarianism. Winston Churchill’s comments on Islam, the European Union and unrestricted Third World immigration are the same as BNP policy, and he would have been expelled from today’s Tories for those views,” Mr Griffin said.

* Mr Griffin also dismissed as “disgusting” the launch of a Poppy Day appeal by Gordon Brown today.

“The Poppy Day appeal is supposed to go to help maimed and injured ex-servicemen, Mr Griffin said. “Mr Brown is the one who has sent our soldiers to war in unfit-for-service vehicles. He is the primary cause of so many injured soldiers in the first place. It is outrageous.”

Mr Griffin said he continued to wear a Poppy Day badge because he was asked to do so by injured soldiers, black and white, at the Birmingham Selly Oak military hospital. He was requested to do so to highlight the fact that these soldiers are charged money to watch television despite being bed-ridden while recuperating from serious wounds.

“I will not stop wearing my poppy badge until this disgrace is rectified,” Mr Griffin said. “This is something else ignored by Tory General Sir Richard who is totally out of touch with the rest of the army.”

* Both Sir Richard and Sir Mike received BNP information packs during the run-up to the June elections.

The original article did feature on their website, Sky News were talking (and laughing) about it then said that the website had been updated with the corrections.

He's fast becoming a national figure of fun, and really laughter is the best way to defuse and dismiss any real danger that he and his party represent.

Well, you and I move in different circles _harry, as everyone I know is looking forward to Question Time in the way Romans looked forward to seeing Christians fed to the lions.

I can't help feeling that laughter might not the best medicine and that pandering to people looking to have a smug laugh at the BNP is just gonna further piss off already disenfranchised potential voters that might decide to do something about, like the guys you're talking about Harry.

You had me right up until Danny Dyer............................He's never the answer, unless the question is "You have five apples in your left hand, you give your friend two and then move one over and hold it in your right hand - how much fun would it be to kill Danny Dyer?"

Even so, it's more laughable for the likes of Sky News to even suggest that Griffin doesn't know how to spell Nuremberg etc

That isn't what caused the mirth, it was getting the names wrong.

The fact that the presenter was asking him questions, and Griffin was easily answering them isn't really too funny.

Instead of coming across like idiots "trying to catch out" a man who's been putting up with this type of questioning for the past 20 odd years they should maybe try treating him like any other politician, and start asking him some real questions.

Let's see if he can answer those.

As far as the old race questions go, he's got every base covered, and always will have.

We know they are a bunch of twats. We don't need the media constantly telling us.

And yet you voted for those bunch of twats.

Any gains the BNP make from this weeks events lie squarely at the feet of the media. Plain & simple.

And this weeks events are only really occuring because dopes like you voted for them.

How many Scottish councillors do the BNP have again Joe?

This Prime Ministerial debate coming up is exactly what I'd like to see more of.

So because they didn't win your particular seat you are absolved of any responsibility for your insane decision to vote for a bunch of racist scumbags? Given that every single minority party in the UK is firmly on the PR bandwagon that logic is doubly wrong because every vote smaller parties receive at every level of government is acknowledged and counted as part of the justification for changing the first past the post sytem used in the General Election..

Indeed I did.

The EU is far more relevant to the future of the UK than some tinpot fucking fringe party like the BNP.

My opinion is that the media are shooting themselves in the foot by giving them as much coverage as they have.

Griffin is going to be on television for one fucking hour tomorrow night. One hour.

Unless they decide to turn it into the BNP show he'll have around 17 minutes personal talking time.

More than half of the country wouldn't even have known he was on if it weren't for the numpties at Sky News and the like, interviewing him, giving him four fucking screens on their interactive screen and mentioning their names every 20 minutes.

Any gains the BNP make from this weeks events lie squarely at the feet of the media. Plain & simple.
