Nick Griffin: Once a Nazi…

Nick Griffin, leader of the British National Party, could become the party’s first member of the European Parliament when elections are held on the 4th June.

Griffin’s progression from National Front organiser via the ludicrous International Third Position organisation to BNP leader has run the gamut from jack boot white supremacist to suited family man spouting dog-whistle semiotics of fear. In a culture of despondency and ignorance however, hatred and fear stem from the same seed and the BNP now have 54 councillors at district and borough level. Moreover, voter turnout at European elections is notoriously poor and worryingly the BNP could gain seats as voters vent their anger over financial meltdown and corruption in the Government. Certainly, in the hope of getting Griffin elected, all the BNP’s resources are now being concentrated on the European elections and in the North West, where Griffin is standing, they only need to add 2% to its 2004 vote of 6.4% to be virtually guaranteed a seat.
