Shame on the BBC for daring to impartially reflect democracy. These fuckers want the nanny state extended to every fucking level. There's a massive sign at East Croydon station, always makes me laugh as it is at the bottom of a ridiculously shallow incline, probably put there after some daft neckender slipped when pissed and running for a train. 'Please be careful on the slope' Says it all tbh. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/polit...ht-1806874.html 10 things you should know about the BNP when you watch Question Time tonight 1. Nick Griffin is a convicted racist who said Hitler 'went a bit too far' The man who will achieve a first for the extreme right-wing in Britain by taking his place on the BBC's flagship debating programme tomorrow is a convicted racist who once said that Hitler "went a bit too far" and fraternised with the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan. Since attending his first National Front meeting at the age of 15, the privately educated leader of the British National Party has been imbued with the doctrine and practice of the far right from an early age. He read 'Mein Kampf' when he was 13. The 50-year-old father-of-four has been assiduous in recent years to distance his party from the thuggish, neo-fascist image of the extreme right. But his insistence that neither he nor his party are racist sits uneasily with his past. In 1998, he was convicted of inciting racial hatred for articles that denied the Holocaust and given a suspended nine-month prison term. While in the witness box, he said: "I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that six million Jews were gassed and cremated and turned into lampshades. Orthodox opinion also once held that the world is flat." 2. Party's constitution is committed to restoring white supremacy in Britain After two decades in which the party actively excluded any members from ethnic communities, Griffin last week accepted a review of its governing rules to allow black and Asian people to join its ranks after a legal victory for the Equality and Human Rights Commission. But the 12-page constitution of the BNP remains unashamedly a manifesto for an ethnically cleansed nation. It reads: "The British National Party stands for the preservation of the national and ethnic character of the British people and is wholly opposed to any form of racial integration between British and non-European peoples. It is therefore committed to stemming and reversing the tide of non-white immigration and to restoring, by legal changes, negotiation and consent, the overwhelmingly white make-up of the British population that existed in Britain prior to 1948." 3. Send the Olympics back to Athens – and other flagship BNP policies Alongside its pledge to offer Britain's ethnic minorities voluntary repatriation and its leader's description of Islam as a "wicked and vicious faith", the BNP has tried to broaden its electoral appeal with a raft of new policies. In the 2008 London Assembly elections, the party took its "send them back" theme a stage further by offering to repatriate the 2012 Olympics. Its manifesto read: "We... believe that the Olympics should be held in Greece on a permanent basis. That is their birthplace and it is wrong for athletes to be forced to roam the world like homeless vagrants looking for a new venue each four years." Griffin has long warned of the risk of a civil war in Britain sparked by racial tensions. In 2005, the party's general election manifesto called for adults who had completed a certain amount of military service to be "required to keep in a safe locker in their homes a standard-issue military assault rifle and ammunition". To this list has now been added the return of the birch for juvenile offenders and hanging for paedophiles, rapists, drug dealers and murderers. 4. Billy Brit: mascot that glorifies Powell "In 1912 a lion was born./Enoch was his name./A gentleman. A British hero./Through truth, the man found fame./He gave a speech called 'Rivers of Blood'./And never gave up the fight./Enoch Powell spoke for me and Enoch Powell was white". So sings Billy Brit, the official mascot of the youth wing of the BNP, during a campaigning video for the 2009 European elections. Aimed at children as young as eight, the flame-haired puppet features in videos posted on YouTube and the BNP website reciting a series of "educational poems". Children have been sent photographs of Billy or encouraged to download his picture along with a comic, 'The Comet', delivered to "all you eight- to 12-year-olds out there who love your country". Youth members of the BNP are invited to regular camps where they discuss ideology and are encouraged to perform up to eight hours of "political activism" each month. 5. Encounters with the Ku Klux Klan in America In 2000, Nick Griffin travelled to the US to address an organisation called the American Friends of the BNP. Members of the group included David Duke, at the time leader of the Ku Klux Klan, and James W Von Brunn, a white supremacist who killed a security man in an attack on Washington's holocaust museum earlier this year. During Griffin's visit, he outlined his blueprint for making his party electable by dropping its lexicon of "racial purity" and Jewish conspiracies: "The BNP isn't about selling out its ideas, but we are determined to sell them. Basically, that means to use saleable words such as freedom, identity, security, democracy." Griffin continued: "Once we're in a position where we control the British broadcasting media, then perhaps one day the British people might change their mind and say, 'yes, every last one must go'. But if you hold that out as your sole aim to start with, you're not going to get anywhere. So, instead of talking about racial purity, we talk about identity." 6. Griffin's pride in his 'strong, direct link to Mosley' With more than 900,000 votes cast in its favour in the European elections, the BNP insists it is part of mass politics. Founded in 1982 by John Tyndall, the party grew from a schism in the National Front, of which Nick Griffin was, at one point, national co-ordinator. Griffin joined the BNP in 1995 and, by 1999, had taken over as leader, deposing Tyndall. Griffin, who was introduced to the works of the 1930s British fascist leader Oswald Mosley from his grandfather's bookshelves, is unabashed about tracing his political DNA back to an avowed admirer of Hitler. He told one interviewer: "There is a strong, direct link from Oswald Mosley to me." 7. The party membership that dare not speak its name The BNP has been regularly rocked by internal disagreements and security breaches, including the leak of its entire membership list by a disgruntled former activist. As part of the overhaul of its image – described by Nick Griffin as "put the boots away and put suits on" – and efforts to thwart entryists, the party adopted a system of secure emails and secret rendezvous points as well as embarking on a recruitment drive beyond its blue-collar heartland. The success of the campaign was revealed in 2006 when it was disclosed that Simone Clarke, the principal dancer of the English National Ballet, was a member. Two years ago, a dispute over the actions of three senior party figures led to the resignation of more than 50 local and national officials. In November last year, the BNP suffered a further blow when its 10,000-strong membership list was published on the internet. The revelation led to the dismissal of at least three police and prison officers. 8. The Italian terrorist Griffin names as an influence In August, Griffin cited Roberto Fiore – a convicted criminal and member of the Italian terrorist group implicated in the 1980 Bologna bombing that killed 85 people – as an important influence on the party. Mr Fiore was sentenced in absentia to 10 years in prison in 1985 for his membership of the political wing of the party. His conviction has since "timed out" under Italian statute of limitation laws, allowing him to return to his homeland where he is leader of far-right party Forza Nuova. He recently took up the European Parliament seat vacated by Benito Mussolini's granddaughter, Alessandra. 9. David Copeland: London nail-bomber and BNP member In 2007, London nailbomber and former BNP member David Copeland was sentenced to a minimum of 50 years in prison for setting off three explosives, killing three people and injuring 139 others. Other BNP criminals include Ian Hindle and Andrew Wells, convicted of having sex with a child and engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child respectively. Former BNP candidate in Coventry Roderick Rowley was sentenced to 15 months in prison after admitting to fourteen charges of making, distributing or possessing obscene images of children. 10. Some of those other members who have resorted to aggression In 2006, Kevin Hughes, election agent for the BNP Redditch councillor David Enderby, was sentenced to 30 months in prison – reduced to 24 on appeal – for assaulting an Iraqi asylum seeker. Earlier this year, pensioner John Jones was convicted of racially aggravated threatening behaviour after giving a Nazi salute on his way to a BNP rally in Derbyshire.

Kiss of death there like Snakehips.

Viz, specifically Cockney Wanker. Actually, anyone know if Viz has had a pop at Ashley? I don't read it anymore 'cos it's shit, obviously.

He is going to be arse-raped no doubt. This is as near as you get to the stocks or ritual dismemberment these days. I have moved my television into the bathroom so I could fill the bath with popcorn.

Atomium Bomb.

Carroll could do a job at the back tbh. Let Tonto and Crazy frog do the biz up front for a while.

let the monkey have his say tbh, wtf are people worried about, that he's going to convert millions of right minded people into seething racists? get a fucking grip you liberal honky pig dogs.

They're not all radical, some are gnarly.

You're out the army now.

You can't imagine how you could go about fucking it up any worse than Ashley has. Alienating almost all the fans and Keegan and getting us relegated. It is an impressive effort really. It's like the inverse of the early nineties.

Not our strikers obviously Your new avatar just made the whole office stare at me.

total boycott of the ground would just make things worse imo.

Not happy about the environmental impact of that tbh

I don't think protesting will make a blind bit of difference fwiw. Ashley has demonstrated his utter contempt for us lot numerous times and already knows we hate him. Several if not tens of thousands of people singing 'get out of our club' is as strong a possible message as we can put across. Protesting might get us on Mong TV a bit more I suppose, a little more press coverage. But everyone already knows he's a cunt, we know he's a cunt, he know's he's a cunt. We're just fucked till he goes. If you really wanted to start a campaign, see if you can get all football fans to boycott Sports Direct. But they won't see, cos his got git cheap trackies and dat in der innit.

the fact I am not suprised here is tragic. Fuck off Mike you total fuckknuckle.

Mike Ashley all but saying he has no interest in selling, nor appointing a proper manager, nor investing in the club at all. Christmas is over, the tree is down, all the good stuff consumed or broken and you’ve fallen out with the family. Almost fully asset stripped and ‘streamlined’, we are now reliant upon the players he has been unable to turn into cash and some hopeful loan deals to get us promoted, this is a big ask despite our position. We do have some quality relative to the league however the morale at the club must be extremely difficult to keep up. It is notable how poor our performances have been since the Keegan decision - everyone now knows the sort of man they are working for. Would it motivate you to work for a manipulative liar no matter how much encouragement you got from your customers? The players are in a very strange position and I would imagine pride and our passion will carry them far, but how far with such a dark cloud pissing on us all from the Director's Box? I don't currently believe we will get promoted despite our place in the Coca-Cola Championship. So what is the answer for us lot? Has the time finally arrived for a total boycott? Write off your tickets? Stop blindly following the team you love because the owner of the club seems to be wilfully dismantling whatever it is we cherish? And if we keep turning up, keep the faith, keep lining his pockets, keep visibly supporting the team then will he stay? I don't think it is the answer, because I don't think there is one until someone, somehow wrestles the power away from his filthy, greedy hands. I hope he will become bored and simply accept he has lost massive sums of money along with any crumbs of respect he once had. Perhaps next summer after he fails to win promotion because he fails to back the club once more this season. The only answer for us is patience and hope that one day we will look back on this era in total disbelief. Let's hope that happens within five years, because I really think that's the best we can wish for now. Ashley you are a disgrace to football, and a disgrace to Newcastle. I feel ashamed that someone associated with our club could have stomped on the joy of so many, soured Keegan toward the club and had Newcastle relegated in Bobby's final season. Keegan and Bobby knew something you have yet to learn, that life is about integrity above money. The fans know this too and this is what empassions them most. Honesty, integrity, honour, hard work, laughter, spirit. If you understood any of this, or at least gave a fuck about it, then you might have got something going here or you might at least stop lying and leave with a modicum of grace. We'll all be here long after you have found something else to fuck about with. We may well be deluded and demanding, we may well aspire to something we can't quite achieve. You wanted a part of that, you wanted to share in our dreams. Why did you never take any advice from anyone who knew anything about Newcastle or football? Your aspirations have all been pissed away like another casino blow out. We’ll still have them when you’re gone, and we will enjoy them again too. There will be dancing in the street Mike. I look forward to it.

Is it nobler to be a OOT plastic fan than an IT spastic fan?

Injected £250m Syphoned £?????m

Beer 2x stronger there then?

This was so nailed on it makes the word inevitable look unpredictable.

Cunt Idol? I'd put myself forward for Idle Cunt like.

Imagine if all this shit happened to one of the big 4? How would the national press respond?

Ashley and Llambias having fun.

The winner of this poll versus Tom tbh.
