Last week the BNP won two seats in the European elections. They haven't really thought this through. Now they'll be complaining about foreigners in Brussels - where they are foreigners. They'll have to start putting dogs**t through their own letter boxes.
The North of England is now represented in Europe by fascists, which should be interesting. I can't wait to see Manchester United turn up to the Champions League in brown shirts and jackboots.With half the team 'missing'.
The BNP promise they will "behave like proper parliamentarians". They've already submitted invoices for a giant swastika-shaped chandelier. Their leader Nick Griffin had to abandon a press conference after he was pelted by eggs. It should have been bricks.
According to a poll this week, Labour would do better at the next general election if they replaced Gordon Brown with Alan Johnson.
It also found that their fortunes would be improved if Brown was replaced by Jack Straw, David Miliband, Ed Balls or backbencher Jon Cruddas... Joanna Lumley, Esther Rantzen, Howard from the Halifax adverts, Paul Daniels, (but not Debbie McGee), or the former Motherwell stalwart John Philliben.
Indeed the survey finds that Brown's only chance of winning involves the Tories replacing David Cameron with the reanimated corpse of Hitler. Apparently the Tories would then fail to gain an overall majority, but still do quite well up North.
I'm actually more shocked by people's reaction to the BNP gaining seats than them actually gaining seats. No, I do not support them, but they are a legitimate party as much as the others.
ReplyDeleteAnd most people - particularly the media - are horrified that they've gained a couple of seats but note ... clearly some people are actually starting to agree with them. More and more all the time, apparently.
Perhaps it's just because anything's better than Labour.
Another great article Chris!
ReplyDeleteMichael:
People's reactions? Chucking some eggs? It's what children do, hardly shocking. The BNP are way beyond shocking and deserve all they get.(apart from seats at the Europarl I must add. =P)
Less people voted for them. It's just more than less voted for the other parties...most namely Labour.
