Nick Griffin: "It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to."
From the New York Times:
Mr. Griffin denies that the British National Party is racist, though he admits that it operates a “restrictive membership policy” and that it is therefore not open to all races or ethnicities.

Well, the New York Times, et al, may forget to mention that angle, but we report such items all the time, and we just reported such yesterday:

"it is therefore not open to all races or ethnicities" but it's not "racist"... Nick? Please see Rand's comments on the nature of definitions, posted above.
That being said, what a nightmare that so many of the people of Britain have so despaired of their pleas being heard by their government that they feel they have no other resort but the BNP. Phillips has it right, but I fear the MPs aren't ready to learn that lesson yet.
How can someone both discriminate based on race and not be racist at the same time? That's impossible. I think this is a sign of desperation on behalf of Nick to get the spot light off some of his parties least popular beliefs and goals.
Revereridesagain,
I think that Nick is just a horrible liar. Like Jihadists, white supremacists can lie, and than in the same breath contradict their lie in such a way as to accidentally show their true intentions. It happened all the time with David Duke.
