Interesting. Here we have Jared Taylor crying about how threats prompted hotels to cancel their contracts with him, and the organizers of the two college speaking engagements for Nick Griffin crying about how threats similarly caused their events to suffer the same fate, and while no one can be sure of who was responsible or even if such things occured, it is folks they are working with and are supporting them that are doing all the violence. We have this bonehead from Fredericksburg, VA named Drew Kellison who is telling people that something should go down at Taylor’s American Renaissance Conference, and the other day a reporter gets assaulted by members of the British National Party who didn’t like what his paper wrote about them. What’s more, Nick Griffin, the man who was supposed to be above all this violence and everything is defending the attack, saying that it shows his party is not “soft”! Now do we need to go through the scores of complaints when Griffin has to deal with “hard” antifa? This article comes with video of the reporter himself detailing exactly what happened when the melee went down. The next time you hear this silly crowd crying about violence, just remember to tell them to look in the mirror if they want to see the problem. And this scumbag Griffin wanted to come to the States?<\/p>\n

Nick Griffin has defended the violent ejection of a Times journalist from the British National Party\u2019s extraordinary general meeting on Sunday, insisting that it would not go \u201csoft\u201d on political correctness.<\/p>\n
The BNP chairman told members: \u201cMillions of viewers will have seen the report of us ejecting a lying Times journalist from the press conference. That\u2019s not the actions of a snivelling PC party, but of an organisation that has had enough of being lied about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Richard Barnbrook, the BNP\u2019s London Assembly member, had objected to an article in The Times on Saturday, which reported that he had been spat at in his local area and that some of his black and Asian neighbours were worried about visitors to his home. The Times reporter \u2014 Dominic Kennedy \u2014 was photographed being manhandled out of the meeting by BNP security guards on Sunday, one of whom grabbed the journalist\u2019s nose.<\/p>\n
Yesterday the Labour Party described the BNP\u2019s actions as a \u201cNazi stormtrooper attack\u201d and \u201cfascist behaviour\u201d. The incident raises questions over whether the BNP has set itself back in its attempts to re-create its political image. Related Links <\/p>\n

While Mr Griffin once called for a defence of white rights with \u201cwell-directed boots and fists\u201d, the party began changing course in 1998. He told the BNP: \u201cWe must at all times present [the public] with an image of reasonableness.\u201d But Denis MacShane, the Labour MP, former minister and ex-president of the National Union of Journalists, said the attack showed the party\u2019s contempt for freedom of expression.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir Nazi stormtrooper attack on the journalist in front of Richard Barnbrook, their so-called law and order spokesman, shows the true anti-democratic face of the BNP,\u201d he said. \u201cThe excuse that the physical violence against the journalist was simply an attack on political correctness is a cynicism too far.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chris Huhne, the Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman, said: \u201cThe BNP\u2019s commitment to democratic values such as freedom of speech and expression was always skin-deep, and this episode shows that their attempted makeover is entirely phoney.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eric Pickles, the Conservative Party chairman, said: \u201cThe values and views of the BNP are abhorrent. The BNP remain an extreme racist nationalist party, which wants to divide our country over the issues of race and colour.\u201d<\/p>\n
David Campbell Bannerman, deputy leader of UKIP and head of policy for the party: \u201cThe press has a vital role to expose the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n
BNP members agreed on Sunday to remove the part of its constitution that had restricted its membership to \u201cindigenous Britons\u201d \u2014 essentially those with an Anglo-Saxon background. Mr Griffin was given extra powers to make further changes as needed to comply with race laws.<\/p>\n
The changes must still be considered by the Equality and Human Rights Commission and will then be the subject of a further court hearing.<\/p>\n
The commission has already expressed concern that the BNP\u2019s principles are \u201cindirectly discriminatory\u201d because they required members to pledge to oppose integration if it might affect the unity or maintenance of the \u201cindigenous British\u201d.<\/p>\n
It was unclear last night whether amendments to the principles were made on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Mr Griffin is understood to have made amendments to the constitution shortly before Sunday\u2019s meeting, which raises questions whether the vote is valid. Members must be given 14 days\u2019 written notice before they vote on changes.<\/p>\n
Yesterday a Sikh explained why he wanted to be the first non-white member of the BNP. Rajinder Singh, 78, said he would not approach the BNP for membership but would join if it was offered. Speaking to The Times, he said: \u201cI can\u2019t say no. It is like dinner \u2014 if they invite me to dinner I will go.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is the very basic nature in human beings to be racist. A child is born with discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n
He supported the BNP because of concern about the encroachment of Islam in Britain. \u201cFundamentalism is part of Islam,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
