Harry's Place

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 [...]

A fully controlled threat to our freedoms

Today’s post by David T about the murder of Ilan Halimi is one of the most sobering I have read on Harry’s Place for some time.
One of CST’s main functions is to record and analyse antisemitic incidents – hate crimes – that are reported to us here in [...]

It is frightening how long this took them to do. The Brown government must have a special unit working on PR gaffes. They take their work very seriously.

Finally, home secretary Jacqui Smith has announced on behalf of the government that all Gurkha veterans who retired before 1997 with at least four years’ service will be [...]

It’s more of an essay [...]

The centre-right New Majority has a piece on Ilan Halimi, whose murderers are presently on trial in France.

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.

Imagine seeing a photograph of yourself in your regimental uniform with bigotted statement attributed to you - a fabricated quote -placed next to your image and distributed to thousands of households for your friends and family to see.
Wouldn’t you be [...]

Earlier this week I watched squatters crack open a flat on what was once one of the most deprived estates in Britain and, infamously, the cheapest place to buy heroin in Europe. The Ocean Estate in Stepney was built between 1949 and 1975 and is made up of at least 40 [...]

David Aaronovitch has just written a book on conspiracy theories titled Voodoo Histories. Much as the internet is awash with these, there is lots to take aim at. He claims to debunk all and sundry, but methinks he doth protest too much. In a candid moment, he admits [...]
