From the Sunday Express:
ONE of Nick Griffin’s most trusted lieutenants sparked fresh outrage last night after he warned British Jews to “show respect” or “reap what you sow when we are in power”.
Lee John Barnes, the BNP’s legal director, produced the outburst as he debated Mr Griffin’s appearance on Question Time.
While Mr Griffin tried to claim his party had ditched its anti-Semitic past, his inept sidekick exposed its true colours on an anti-extremist website.
Goading opponents that the BNP had won a massive propaganda coup, he aimed his threats at lawyer David Toube who runs Harry’s Place, the website which campaigns against the BNP and Islamic extremism.
When Mr Toube, one of Britain’s most prominent Jews, told Mr Barnes, 43, not to get “too smug”, the BNP man replied: “That’s fine. Just remember though, ‘You will reap what you sow’.
“The way you treat us now is how we shall treat you in the future. The example you set us is the example we will follow when we are in power.
“The many different pressure points are beginning to converge towards a ‘tipping point’, a moment of political equilibrium when revolutionary social and political change occurs.”
He added: “Best you show us some respect, some day you will want us to respect you.”
Mr Toube said: “Lee John Barnes has shown us what leading members of the BNP really believe.
Luckily, we live in a free society in which even extremists are allowed to peddle their message of hate.
But if the BNP came to power, freedom for all British people would come to an end.”
Pastorius,
ReplyDeleteMah29001 doesn't even think they are really opposed to Islam, Islamism or Islamitization.

Pastorius,
ReplyDeleteYou might want to tell Shiva.
Damien,
ReplyDeleteI tend to agree with Mah29001 on that one.
I don't think Shiva would care much about this. He thinks the BNP can be used and tamed and brought into the mainstream.
Pastorius,
ReplyDeleteIf he still thinks that this party can be denazified, and mainstreamed he's wrong.
But if they're not really going to fight the Jihadists in the first place, what good would it do anyway?
At least what good would it do if you want their help fighting the Jihadists?
ReplyDeleteThe BNP are a bunch of phonies when it comes pretending to be opposed to Islamic radicalism. Nick Griffin openly met with Libya's own Islamo-Marxist/socialist tyrant and even promised to help fund his cause in Britain.
ReplyDeleteThis just adds to Britain's coming Balkanization which people like Griffin and his open far left counterparts whom also worship Gaddafi really want.

ReplyDeleteThere is no denying Griffin went to Libya
But does any one know what was said between the Gadaffi and Griffin.
No
At the time was Gadaffi inviting any organization that that was opposing the governments in Europe.
It doesn't occur to any of you that Griffin did not receive any funding, because griffin was not prepared to betray Britain for a handful of shekels.
And lets not forget the insult that that Gadaffi gave to griffin by sending him home with a pile of Gadaffi,s what ever coloued book
I forgot to mention
ReplyDeleteGriffin took an all-expenses-paid trip to Libya, as guests of the Gaddafi regime.
Good on Nick for not Betraying Britain, like so many other politicians in Britain and America are doing
The current panic among the Left about the BNP is not about them being elected to government - Nick Griffin has as much chance of becoming Pope as he has of becoming Prime Minister.
ReplyDeleteWhat's happening is the BNP is drawing away enough traditional working class voters from Labour to allow the Tories and Lib-Dems the chance of winning previously safe Labour seats.
Tories and Lib-Dems don't like the BNP, but they're useful as long as they don't get too powerful.
You cannot shed ignorance.
ReplyDeleteYou CAN shed, with great discipline, the stupid ways you refer to that ignorance.
And then over time, people wish to believe what they wish to believe.
Shiva,
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the following comment:

How is taking an all-expenses paid trip to Libya "not Betraying Britain"?
My point is there is no evidence either way really. And, at the time, Libya was a true pariah on the British stage because it was right after Lockerbie.
ReplyDeleteAnd ostensibly, he went to ask for help (in the form of alliance) and possibly money.
I don't understand your assertion.
What do I say
ReplyDeleteWell say this is just two dick heads ruffling their feathers
Who? You and I, or Nick and Moamar?
ReplyDeleteJohn lee Barnes and the guy from Harry,s post
ReplyDeleteHow is taking an all-expenses paid trip to Libya "not Betraying Britain"?
ReplyDeleteGriffin went to Libya in the hope of funding, found out Gadaffis agenda and decided he was not going to be one of Gadaffis goons.
At the time Griffin went it was not known who was behind Lockerbie.
It may have not been known Gaddafi was behind Lockerbie, but it was very clear that he was an enemy of the United States, if I am not mistaken.
ReplyDeleteOne wonders if such considerations matter to Nick Griffin.
Gaddafi was not alone, if i recall correct Sweden had cut off diplomatic relations to USA. The general feelings towards USA at the time was very icy
ReplyDeleteBecause of Ronald Reagan.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of that, in retrospect?
To me, that just seems like more evidence for why Americans ought not trust Europeans on political and moral issues.
ReplyDeleteDURING THE 80'S ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENT WAS VERY HIGH IN EUROPE.
Wow.
That's a ringing testament.
What happened at the end of the 80's and the early 90's, and why did it happen?
Lech Walesa
Margaret Thatcher
Ronald Reagan
Pope John Paul II
And, what was Europe mad at Reagan about?
ReplyDeleteSabre-rattling
putting missiles in Poland
Well, now you have an American President who is doing the opposite. Does it seem to be working out well for the world?
"Well, now you have an American President who is doing the opposite. Does it seem to be working out well for the world?"
ReplyDeleteAmerica gets blamed no matter what you guys do. I talk about this all the time but it won't hurt to mention it again. Pakistan: Protesters were burning a Danish flag because of the Danish cartoon thing but that wasn't it, they were also burning an American flag!
That should tell you, people don't like America and I think it might, just might, be because they can't be, even though they aspire to be, what America already is. That might not be the reason but it is very plausible.
