The BNP- always lifes losers.........

Now that the dust has settled a little bit since Question Time, I thought I'd take a look at the BNP, the performance of their leader on that programme and where, ultimately, the BNP are headed.

In a word, nowhere.

I post fairly regularly on the Sun forums and try and get a nosy on other forums as well. The thing that strikes me most often is the apparent cult-like set-up of the BNP.

Don't get me wrong, in many ways I think that Nick Griffin is a very clever man. He has been able to manipulate and brain-wash the party supporters so that any criticism of him as a leader from non-BNP people, is met with fierce opposition.

Unfortunately for the BNP, their racist and xenophobic politics aside,this will ultimately prevent the party from ever becoming a serious party in the future.

A sizable number of people, in the aftermath of Question Time, have tried to say that the BBC played it wrong and have actually garnered sympathy for Nick Griffin and his mucky little party.

I disagree.

The principle reason that the BNP are a minority party in this country is because of their outdated views on race. Because of this, the issue of race and the BNP was always going to be the 'hot topic' on Question Time. Even Nick Griffin should have been able to work that one out. He MUST have known what was coming. He MUST have known that his previous commments about the Holocaust were going to be raised. He MUST have known that his links with the Ku Klux Klan were going going to be highlighted. And despite all this, he was still unable to provide suitable explanations.

Forums immediately after the programme was aired were electric with debate and yet from the BNP side, Nick Griffin came out smelling of roses. And that brings me back to my point that as long as Griffin is able to manipulate the minds of his supporters and create a siege like mentality around the BNP thus keeping himself in power, then his party is always doomed to failure.

Griffin had the chance, on national TV, to put to bed the general consensus that his party and its principles AREN'T built on race and white supremacy. Fortunately, he failed dismally which only confirmed for the right-thinking British majority what we suspect of Griffin and his party.
