Mukul Devichand assesses the British National Party's Chairman, Nick Griffin's bid to become the party's first MEP in the forthcoming European elections in June.

There are those who may be howling with delight at this latest "revelation" that the BNP deny the existence of Black and Asian Britons.

For anyone who has read their constitution and is aware of their membership policy, this should come as no surprise. The BNP do not regard non-white British citizens as part of the British nation. In this way they are undeniably and incorrigibly racist.

I have listened to the programme and in the interests of objectivity and fairness highlight the following statements made by Nick Griffin to Mukul Devichand.

Non-whites are "racial foreigners" in civic terms.

Griffin ontends that "British" is an "ethnic description", ie a racial description.

[I would contend that it is not, simply because white Contintental North European peoples are racially indistinguishable from white British people.]

He goes on to say:

"You can be part of our society and be entitled to the protection of all our laws", but we cannot have large numbers of foreigners coming here and calling themselves English or British without denying the right of the white Briton to his own identity or diluting it to such an extent that it becomes worthless. To do so would be morally wrong.

My elegant solution of using police race identification codes in the previous post is intended to make both the racial purists and the civic nationalists happy, but I anticipate objections.

I also wish to highlight what Hazel Blears, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, said around the 17th minute of the programme. It is quoted verbatim simply because it is so ungrammatical and incoherent:

"The BNP have divisive pernicious polices that will do the working classes no good at all. What we need is a proper discussion in this country about making sure British people have a chance to get the skills and education to get the jobs of the future. If we don’t have it and pretend somehow it might be construed as racist and therefore we are not going to talk about those issues, then where is politics?"

I think she is agreeing with me that decades of failed education policies has resulted in the increase in BNP support. Sink-school comp-educated "locals"/ "white trash"/"CHAVs" - call them what you will - finding that employers in fact prefer a foreign workforce who are better-trained and have a better work ethic, will be voting BNP in droves, and will continue doing so, unless something is done about the parlous state of British "education", whose products British employers and businesses shun.

I do hope she liaises with Ed Balls, the Secretary of State to the Department With A Silly Rainbow Logo, about just this matter.

Again, I have an elegant solution for this too, which is to be found at
