BNP leader Nick Griffin: Lots of Hindus, Sikhs and Ethnic Minority Britons Support My Anti-Immigrant Views

DAILY MAIL REPORTER 18th October 2009

Large numbers of Sikh, Hindu and other ethnic minority voters support the British National Party's hard-line anti-immigration stance, its leader Nick Griffin claimed today.

But he said the BNP's purpose remained to stand up for 'indigenous Brits' which did not include ethnic minorities, even those born here who had fought for their country in the armed forces.

He also declared that 'Islam and our society don't mix' and said he wanted to swap 'the very large number' of al Qaeda-supporting British Muslims for former Gurkhas and their families.

Mr Griffin was speaking after pledging to lift a bar on non-whites joining the party in response to court action by an equalities watchdog. Enlarge

BNP Leader Nick Griffin said the British National Party will amend its constitution so its rules on membership do not discriminate on the grounds of race or religion

Interviewed on Sky News' Sunday Live with Adam Boulton, he denied that the party was racist and insisted that the new membership rules would not undermine its fundamental aims.

'There are three different groups of people in this multicultural Britain now,' he said. 'There's the indigenous Brits, people like you and me; there's settled ethnic minorities populations who are here legally and legitimately and they are civically British and we have no problem with them at all; and then we have the third block, the colonists, people wanting to change our country into something completely different,' Mr Griffin said.

It’s often a good thing to be on the same side as the Sikhs

'Islam and our society don't mix'

Even a broken clock....

Unfortunately, some Muslims have also realized this and now try to overturn that society. As in many other western countries.

BNP economic policy is fascist. They really shot themselves in the foot with their racial rheoteric. Being British is more than skin color. Gurkhas are more British than the yobs running wild on the street.

Well said!!!!! There are many people on Free Republic who think the BNP are patriot conservatives. They are socialist and fascists and have no part in the conservative project of a civil society.

Gurkhas are more British than the yobs running wild on the street.

From the article, in case you missed it:
"...and said he wanted to swap 'the very large number' of al Qaeda-supporting British Muslims for former Gurkhas and their families."

It is a good thing the British have a variety of non-BNP political parties as alternatives that will stop immigration, political correctness, and Islam... Oh wait...

Which is funny, ‘cos just a few weeks ago the BNP said Ghurkas shouldnt be allowed in to Britain after their service. They also stated that Johnson Beharry, who won the Victoria Cross in Iraq for incredible bravery, only won it because he was black.

The BNP are not patriots, they are neo-Nazi fascists. They are not the answer.
