Nothing British About the BNP reports:

So Nick Griffin has wangled a ticket from his friend, London Assembly member Richard Barnbrook, to join the 8,000 people invited to the Buckingham Palace Garden Party this summer.

It’s a grim reminder of what’s in store if the BNP win seats in next month’s Euro elections.

No one should be fooled by the BNP’s hollow re-branding. Racists in top hats and tail-coats are still racists. There’s no room at Buckingham Palace for the leader of party that wants to deport British people because of their skin colour.

Poor Queenie!

I’m sure Prince Philip will be able to make some witty quips with him. Or vice versa.

(i suppose there is a chance the police might deny him clearance: he does have a record of violence towards non-members of the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic-whatever Folk Community: and aren’t they, well, rather Germano-Greek?)

Queen: “And what do you dooo?”

Nick Griffin: “A spot of Holocaust denying here, a bit of inciting racial hatred there. I like to talk about defending rights for whites with boots and fists and all that. I want to send all the foreigners back. Apart from nice Aryan Germans like yourself ma’am!”

I’m looking forward to the photos. Nick Griffen in a yellow flowery frock, wide-brimmed hat wi’ a flower, white shoes and clutchbag, hanging on Richard’s arm.

Ye ever seen Hyacinth Bucquet and Nick Griffen in the same room?

What a shame the Queen Mum isn’t around any more – by all accounts she and Griffin would have got along like the proverbial house on fire.

So wouldn’t the Saxe-Coburg-Gothas be classified by Griffen et al as undesirables?

Her Royal Maj. can present him with the exquisitely carved erectile dysfunction ring for ’services to mindbending’.

@Alec

The latest revelations come after Commons leader Harriet Harman set out changes to MPs’ expenses she said would put Parliament “above reproach”.

Phew, that’s put my mind at rest. After all, Harperson has never, ever told porkies…in different accents…roughing up and plumbing her dulcet tones to match the demographic.

I was in the same room as the Queen once.

“The room” was the Albert Hall, the event was a Prince’s Trust fundraiser for projects in South Africa and the Queen was sharing the Royal Box with Nelson Mandela.

It’s like turning the clock back to the 1930s, when members of the Royal Family flirted with the Nazis amid an economic maelstrom. Look what happened next. We need a Battle of Cable Street to break the BNP.

Note that the Tories refuse to even name the party, preferring to refer to them simply as the ‘Nazis’ and mindful that over-egging the threat could shepherd the disillusioned towards the extremists. In contrast, Harriet Harman and others have done exactly the kind of things that are likely to inflate the BNP vote.

Given the views of some of the Queen’s relatives (and I think the Queen Mum was adorable!), why do you think she would be out of place?

Besides, she has spent her life dealing with low life scum bag politicians in a polite way (and that is not mentioning the Trots) so she can probably deal with two more.

I was once a few short metres from Her Maj, and Prince Philip, AND Tony Blair.

A friend of mine organized a miniconcert that was to mark both Commonwealth Day and International Women’s Day, celebrating “Black British Culture”, outside Westminster Abbey. I got to look after Joan Armatrading for a few hours, who was lovely.

But the best bit was when Caron Wheeler, of Soul II Soul, just before she started singing, shouted “Yo! Turn up the bass! I hope the queen feels the bass IN HER WOMB!”

Maybe Griffin could make this kind of banter.

Well there’s no reason to spuriously bring the Duke of Edinburgh into the discussion, and anyway, the fellow does live there!

Perhaps the Queen can simply turn away from Griffin & friend and refuse to acknowledge them. Surely that would be quite a royal snub of these fascists.

From the BNP website:

The BNP supports the traditional ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ attitude to homosexuality and is opposed to the flaunting or celebrating of homosexuality which ‘civil partnerships’ represent.

Hmmm…but they are perfectly fine with their leader going to the Queen’s Garden Party as the date of a man who’s CV includes directing homoerotic ‘art films.’

If only P.G. Woodhouse were alive to chronicle this event! Sir Roderick Spode (not sure I’ve got the name right) and the Black Shorts were quite a gentlemanly lot, weren’t they, at least as far as we were allowed the occasional glimpse of them at Blandings Castle. Even so, I don’t recall their ever hobnobbing with the Saxe-Coburg-Gothas.

She’s supposed to be above politics and all that, the government of the day made her pretend to pal up with the Chauchescus.

I don’t believe that Spode was ever at Blandings Castle. He was in residence at Totleigh Towers and visited Brinkley Court, but I don’t recall him being at Blandings.

If any of the major British parties and players were adequately defending British law and liberties the odious BNP would be irrelevant.

Prince Philip is not actually Greek, FFS.

Philip was born at the Villa Mon Repos on the island of Corfu on 10 June 1921, the only son and fifth and final child of Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenberg.[3] The Prince was baptised at St. George’s Church at the Palaio Frourio (Old Fortress) in Haddokkos a few days after his birth. His godparents were his paternal grandmother (Queen Olga of Greece) and the Corfu community, represented by Alexander Kokotos, Mayor of Corfu, and Stylianos Maniarizis, Chairman of the Corfu City Council.

Yes, he is Danish-German. His family were parachuted in as bogus “Greek” royalty.

I imagine Buck House’s flunkies are savvy enough to keep the BNPers away from the Queen. There will be a few thousand guests there, after all, and the Queen is not obliged to speak with them all. But I am sure the woman who has given honorary knighthoods to, among others, Mugabe and Ceausescu will know how to handle undesireables.

A DUCK ISLAND?????!!!

An island for ducks. Our ducks.

“Yo! Turn up the bass! I hope the queen feels the bass IN HER WOMB!”

I can confirm that one can indeed feel the bass there, but perhaps only when pregnant. In fact, I am wondering which out of the Pet Shop Boys and Nine Inch Nails will prove to be the infant’s most significant pre-natal experience.

The fact that Richard Barnbrook can openly make Nick Griffin his date shows how progressive the BNP are about same sex relationships.

“It’s like turning the clock back to the 1930s, when members of the Royal Family flirted with the Nazis…”

Yes, because Her Maj sent out a personal, handwritten invitation to Richard Barnbrook, urging him to bring along Griffin…

Idiot.

The Grauniad, with no sense of irony, has this silly business about the BNP attending Brenda’s Garden Party in summer frocks on the same page as the news that Ali Dizaei is to be charged with perverting the course of justice and misconduct in public office.

It is all a conspiracy, says the Black Police Association.

The White Police Association was unavailable for comment.

Jeez – what a load of untelligent twaddle on here. What you would really like is for anyone who disagrees with you to be silenced and dencounced, like they were in communist China. Mao was a communist and so – I believe – are many Labour ministers and supporters.

If anyone on here has an ounce of intelligence then I advise you to find out about the British National Party yourselves, rather than relying on discredited politicians and their media lackeys.

Erm – Leah, I think most of us have done a fair bit of finding out about the BNP for ourselves – some of us even bear the scars to prove it. We’ve even had the great Lee Barnes on HP expounding policy in forensic detail. And I think the HP crowd can muster a few more ounces of intelligence that all that no-brain-cells-in-here shaven-bonced bunch together.

“Jeez – what a load of untelligent twaddle on here. What you would really like is for anyone who disagrees with you to be silenced and dencounced… actually that is the policy of the BNP, the British Nonces Party. Don’t worry we have listened to them as in deed did Maureen Stowe

‘What a shame the Queen Mum isn’t around any more – by all accounts she and Griffin would have got along like the proverbial house on fire.’

Seeing as his ideological forbears tried to blow her (and millions of other Londoners) up in 1940, I’m not so sure.

I hear that the Queen has a very strong sense of Duty.
I don’t think it need extend to people who want to deport her husband.

“I was once a few short metres from Her Maj, and Prince Philip, AND Tony Blair. ”

If that’s a response to my comment about the Albert Hall, pardon me if I ain’t impressed.

I’ve a clear memory of my first (please note, name dropping only in the course of counter-attack!) meeting with Tony Blair. His wife brought him along to meeting.

At the time I would have been more impresssed if I’d known who her father was.
