Here’s Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP, sharing a stage with former KKK leader David Duke and speaking to an audience of American racists back in 2000. Griffin notes the difficulty of ’selling’ mass repatriation policies and ideas of ‘racial purity’ and explains how he would ’sell’ the BNP to the British public by using words such as ‘freedom’ and ‘identity’ instead. As you watch this clip, bear in mind the ‘modernised’ BNP’s main publications are a newspaper called ‘Voice of Freedom’ and a magazine called ‘Identity’.

Nick Griffin’s true agenda, in his own words:

There’s a difference between selling out your ideas, and selling your ideas. And the British National Party isn’t about selling out its ideas … but we are determined now to sell them. And that means basically to use the saleable words. As I say, freedom, security, identity, democracy. Nobody can criticise them, nobody can come at you and attack you on those ideas. They are saleable.

Perhaps one day, once by being rather more subtle we’ve got ourselves in a position where we control the British broadcasting media, then perhaps one day the British people might change their mind and say, “Yes, every last one must go.” Perhaps they will one day, but if you offer that as your sole aim to start with, you’re gonna get absolutely nowhere. So, instead of talking about racial purity, we talk about identity.
