Okay American Antifa, it is time to contact the State Dept. and alert them to this one. Nick Griffin (pictured here in happier times for him wearing the “White Power” T-Shirt), the head of the white supremacist British National Party, is to speak at the American Renaissance (AmRen) Conference in DC taking place Feb. 19-21, but he seems to be in big trouble over the party’s policy that they accept non- whites. See, that’s a no-no for political parties, and they are supposed to comply with a court order by Jan 28 to correct this. It is unlikely they will, and that may mean jail time for Griffin. That means if this guy thinks he is going to come to the US with this hanging over his head, he has another thing coming. Two years ago at the last AmRen Conference, they brought Ashley Mote, another British politician that just six months before was convicted of fraud and had no business here. Now here comes Griffin, who by they way had a major fan in James von Brunn, the white supremacist Holocaust Museum shooter. von Brunn had attended DC-area meetings put on by the American Friends of the British National Party, two of which Griffin spoke at. No, this guy is going to have to stay home, and if the WPs are so worried about criminals and terrorists crossing our borders, they won’t mind if we make the effort to keep Griffin out of the US.

The British National party is facing a crisis in the run-up to the general election after it emerged that Nick Griffin, its leader, could be jailed over its illegal “whites only” membership policy.
Whitehall officials believe Griffin will be unable to comply in time with a court order forcing him to change the BNP’s constitution to admit Asians, blacks and members of other ethnic minorities.
They say the BNP’s membership is not due to vote on the constitutional change until after the court deadline expires towards the end of this month. Trevor Phillips, head of the government’s equalities watchdog, which won the legal ruling three months ago, has instructed his lawyers to be ready to ask the court to impose crippling sanctions, including a heavy fine or possible jail term against Griffin and Simon Darby, the BNP’s deputy leader.
If successful, the move could paralyse the right-wing party at a time when many at Westminster believe it is on the verge of winning its first seat in parliament with the support of disillusioned former Labour and Tory voters.
Officials question whether the head of a political party who has been imprisoned, fined or has had his assets sequestrated could continue to be its leader.
“The BNP is very much Nick Griffin’s party,” said one official. “Were he forced to stand down three months before an election, then what are the prospects for the party? He could be replaced by someone who was much more hardcore. They would potentially be in disarray.”
The legal action began last year when the Equality and Human Rights Commission issued county court proceedings against Griffin, Darby and Tanya Lumby, another senior BNP official.
The watchdog argued that the BNP’s constitution was unlawful because it restricted membership to particular ethnic groups and those whose skin colour is white.
Last October Judge Paul Collins agreed and awarded costs against the party. Griffin was forced to order a freeze on membership applications. The court gave him until January 28 to persuade the party to change its constitution and allow non-whites to join.
However, Griffin is unlikely to be able to deliver the change in time.
