Griffin is a racist. He also advocates far-left economic and social politics.

Fucking hell. Is he some kind of entryist? Someone should tell the BNP immediately. If he is advocating far-left economic and social politics he is in breach of every single one of the BNP’s manifesto commitments and should surely be expelled.

I think that most reasonable people would agree that George Galloway has more in common with Ahmadinejad than has Nick Griffin and the reasons why have been made clear by contributors above. Is this typically skewed leftist ‘thinking’ or is it uncharacteristic to be so wide-of-the-mark?

Harry’s place supporting anti democratic far left protesters violently attacking a democratically elected British party.
Next they claim that the BNP are carrying out violent attacks on the Muslim population of the UK, this is slander.
Lastly you are suggesting that the BNP are allied to the Iranian totalitarian regime.
Why do you continue to publish lies and slanderous material?

“As might be predicted, he went to meetings of the American Friends of the British National party,”

The British National Party DID NOT set up the American Friends of the British National Party, nor can the BNP prevent American psychopaths from attending political events in the USA.
The AFBNP was disbanded in 2001 after Mark Cotterill was deported out of the USA, he was kicked out of the BNP and the BNP have gone on record denouncing Cotterill. Cotterill has gone on to create the England First Party.
This VonBrunn farce is a smear campaign to discredit the BNP based on flimsy evidence, hearsay and lies.

At least nobody is trying to excuse Ahmadenijad – or Galloway.

If you notice, since HP took a strong line against the BNP, every now and again one of their apologists will pop up in the comments boxes, trying to excuse that nasty little neo-fascist, Griffin.

Crass and disingenuous David.

Griffin is a racist. He also advocates far-left economic and social politics.

However, he no longer denies the Holocaust, as he makes abundantly clear in interviews time after time. And where does he advocate beating up Muslims?

There’s plenty of truth attack him for, but I for one won’t be drawn into gloating over facile and inaccurate ad hominem attacks like this.

It actually diminishes legitimate criticism. And it legitimizes his claim of victim hood.

Pathetic.

That’s quite a disturbing picture. On another note, yesterday’s Times profile of Griffin carried a great illustration, It somehow managed to be just subtle enough and brutal enough at the same time.

Here’s a suggestion for another Odd couple cartoon: According to Nick Cohen, The Holocaust Museum white supremacist and Gilad Atzmon:

If he had been from the British National party, the festival would have had nothing to do with him, but as he was a fellow traveller of the Socialist Workers party, the literary ladies in their floral dresses and the bookish gentlemen in their ill-fitting jackets welcomed him to the quadrangles of Oxford.

its okay for us to criticise/mock Ahmadinejad because we are also mocking Griffin

I think that is exactly right.

I would be interested in hearing how an antisemitic rag like the Guardian can be considered ‘liberal’.
Plus what Judy, Allan and Cristo said.
This repulsive cartoon is fitting for a repulsive and racist newspaper.
