Griffinitis

It's an awful virus. And I'm only observing it; I don't speak as the affected.

I sort of had this echo of a prediction in the back of my mind, just before the broadcasting of the Question Time episode with Griffin, that after all members of the panel would unanimously tried to stitch up Nick Griffin (And Slack Jaw/Jack Straw making a balls of it), Nick Griffin would play the victim card, and complain to the BBC about "unfair treatment". And as it happens, that echo came to be. Oh no!!!!!!! We've all played into Griffin's hands! Run for the hills!!!!!1111111

Perhaps the move was an admission of guilt, on Griffin's part, that he handled his performance piss poorly? Nobody thought of that, that it was an indicator that even Griffin was aware that his performance was shit. But no. Let the headless chickens run around, in the rotating insanity of the BNP hysteria, overplaying these already overplayed coalition of thugs. (I'm refraining from calling them a "party")

Then there's the YouGov poll, where 22% of people who participated the poll (For the fucking Telegraph, mind you), CONSIDERED voting for the BNP.

Considered? Run for the fucking hills! The idea crossed their mind, by Jesus! Hey, maybe we can have another poll, saying 80% of people CONSIDERED voting UKIP. That's fucking it! A four-gone conclusion that UKIP will WIN the next General Election! "Considering", has absolutely no bearing on whether they'll do it. You may "consider" something for five fucking minutes; it means Jack Shit on whether it'll actually amount to anything substantial.

Ugh.

I actually hate talking about the BNP, because they're so fucking boring. At least Adolf Hitler was charismatic. Nick Griffin is a sack of shit in a suit, who couldn't even remotely pulverise me to any of his causes. And the most laughable factor of all, is that he's the most intelligent member in the BNP. Who's likely to succeed Griffin in leadership? Mark "Hitler will live forever" Collett. A fucking nutter, who is about as eloquent as Father Jack Hackett. It's patently obvious that the BNP are a bunch of racist, Nazi hallions, lead by the worst of demagoguery and imps. They couldn't convince me, even if they had Jimi Hendrix spreading their filthy message. I can call bullshit when I fucking see it, and so can many of the British public. 66%, of people within that same YouGov poll, in fact, wouldn't vote for the BNP under any circumstances.

Oh, but still, people are considering voting for them, just like people would consider voting anyone who's on the ballot. Run for the hills!!!!!!!!!11111111111111 Outrage! Frenzy! Pandemonium!

I'm just not buying it. Sorry, but my mind provides the antigens for Griffinitis. I just don't buy into the hype, and I'd love it if I could continue without having to think about the BNP. To be honest, I don't particularly want to talk about them now, but I just wanted to break the silence, and break the habit of me wandering round rooms, imposing my pathological neatness onto them. So I sat down to write.

And whilst the mainstream newspapers bang on about the BNP, they'll still be trotting the 70 million UK population scare PREDICTIONS. Fuck me. Please tell me I'm not alone.

Nick Griffin On Question Time? Perish The Thought!

BBC Question Time Directors are doing the scandalous thing of actually reaching out to all sides of the political spectrum, by inviting Nick Griffin on the panel. Time to create another faux moral outrage to get respect from the equally ridiculous "anti-fascist" clique!

....Oh, wait, never mind; Peter Hain has already filled this slot, with his pathetic attempt at boycotting Question Time.

Actually, Peter Hain, a man who I have as little respect for as I do for a slug, shouldn't be singled out; the entire traditional Labour position on the BNP, to refuse sharing any platform with them, is absurd and unrealistic.

We've gone for so long leading an immigration debate which has been nothing but speculation, 2 bit analyses on the subject, and an incoherent and mundane ramble about the past, and the perceived future. Yawn.

An example of every bleeding immigration debate I hear:

Person 1 (Reactionary shitehawk): Well, uhm, you know, immigration is a fine thing for this nation, but needs control. New Labour has opened our floodgates, let in every Tom, Dick and Abdul (Supposed to be Harry, but, hey, since it's about Johnny Foreigner, we'll include a typically ethnic name. Anyway, onto immigration being to do with nothing on race....) in. Our GREAT British Values of drinking a Chine..er, I mean India...er, ahem, 'scuse me, GREAT BRITISH beverage, known as tea, Christianity (Like that wasn't put into Britain by force!), fish and chips (Depending on where you live, fish and chip shops were spread by Irish immigrants), democracy (House Of Lords isn't exactly a beacon of that), and freedom (Too silly to comment on), is being eroded by Mass Immigration, and it needs to be controlled! Multiculturalism is the problem! Fit in or ship out, I say!

Person 2 (Faux multiculturalist dipshit): Well, I mean, back in the day, I remember the all white societies (Nothing to do with race, eh?), and it was a far less interesting place! (Since when has racial diversity meant more interesting environments?) Thanks to immigration, we now have things like plenty of Indian restaurants! (We had them before mass immigration, doh) Immigrants also do all the jobs that British people don't want to do! I welcome other cultures coming in, as opposed to when it was an all white society! And it's not like we kept within our country; we deserve these immigrants coming in, from our days of British Imperialism! (File under: non sequitur)


Even IF we manage to eradicate the issue of race in immigration, we still won't be able to hold a sensible debate on its economic or social values, or even how stringent border policy should or shouldn't be. Every debate now is just a yawnfest on the most basic of issues, and correlating unrelated things with perceived improvements or declines in society. Idiotic.

Anyway, to link the digression; the reason we have such mundane immigration debates, is exactly because of letting the BNP preach to an audience where politicians fear to tread. It's their kind of Lowest Common Denominator shit that leads to a watered down debate on immigration. And frankly, it's getting annoying. It's about time we, as in, the public, AND the politicians, confront and QUICKLY demolish the mistruths of the BNP. THEN, after they've been thoroughly refuted enough to where their kind of propaganda is dormant enough, we can move to an actual intellectual debate on immigration, with NOTHING to do with race, culture, or "British values" and all that shite.

So, uhm, yeah, let Nick Griffin go on Question Time, and make an ass of himself. My only hope about this, is that they actually have strong panellists on with Nick, unlike the usual wishy washy politicians.

Oh, by the way, any Question Time archives would be appreciated, for me to watch. Thanks :D
