British neo-fascist politician is disgusting about Haiti
Actually Nick Griffin of the BNP is disgusting about everything, but particularly revolting right now when he is saying that the disaster in Haiti will kill no more than a British winter does, 'but we don't get aid'.


news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8462717.stm

It all just goes to show how utterly evil the far right are everywhere!

Anyone who can, please defy them in the best possible way: with another donation to Haiti.

2. what a giant piece of shit:
Edited on Mon Jan-18-10 09:34 AM by Soylent Brice
"Mr Griffin's original postings, on Facebook and Twitter, said: "While the Haiti earthquake is terrible, the winter death toll in Britain will be similar. No aid here though."

:wtf:

how the fuck did he get elected?
although, i bet you folks were wondering the same thing about bush...

4. To be Fair
To be fair this guy is not the prime minister, he is just a member of Parliament. The BNP, really doesn't have that much power. He doesn't have much power as Bush had.

7. He isn't even an MP; he is a member of the Europaean Parliament, where he has very little power
Ironic, because he and his party hate the EU!

He is not a powerful figure, but has a baleful influence, directly only on a minority, but indirectly probably has more links to the more right-wing parts of our media than they would admit.

3. Holy fuck...
I don't even think anywhere near to 50,000 people died when Northern Mexico had a winter storm a few years ago.

5. It's time for a joint venture between the US and the UK
Make a space ship that will blast Griffin, Pat Robertson, and Rush Limbaugh to the moon.

6. So Britain needs aid now?
I didn't realize it was one of the poorest nations on the planet! Quick! Our friends across the pond need us!
