"I'm in charge and that's the end of it," - Nick Griffin

BNP conference: I'm in charge, says Nick Griffin. Nick Griffin says that he is "the best man for the job" and will lead the BNP for the next four years


BNP leader Nick Griffin says his party is through its "rocky patch" and is now "on the up again", as members gather for their annual conference.

Mr Griffin, who was narrowly re-elected party leader in July, told the BBC the majority of the party was behind him.

"I'm in charge and that's the end of it," he told the BBC Politics Show North West.

The anti-immigration party has struggled with debts, infighting and poor results in May's local elections.

The BNP has not disclosed the exact location of its conference for what it says are security reasons, but members are believed to be meeting in Liverpool.

It has been hit by internal divisions and lost 11 of the 13 seats it was defending in May's English local elections - including all five of its councillors in Stoke on Trent.

'Massively overspent'

Mr Griffin, who has been party leader since 1999, was re-elected in July, beating his fellow MEP Andrew Brons by just nine votes, and told his party that the "time for division and disruption is over".

In an interview with the BBC's Politics Show North West, Mr Griffin said: "We've had some turmoil. We were massively overspent after, especially, the European elections - we've clawed that back and we are back on the right road.

Maybe 100 people will gather in Liverpool for this year's party conference but the mood will be gloomy.

It is the BNP's first major conference since this summer's leadership election.

Nick Griffin won that by just nine votes, as the party split down the middle.

And the wounds are still festering. Andrew Brons, the party's other MEP who challenged for the leadership, has virtually accused Mr Griffin's side of cheating.

In turn, Nick Griffin accuses his colleague of being bitter and "yesterday's man".

There could well be angry confrontations as members wonder how the BNP has gone from having about 60 councillors in England to fewer than ten.

Just two years ago the party was celebrating unprecedented success at the European elections.

Since then voters have been offered infighting, as well as allegations of financial incompetence.

Mr Griffin had promised to stand down as chairman in 2013 but now says he will continue until at least 2015.

Mr Griffin's position as leader might well be secure but the party's future is far less certain.

The membership ranks behind the chairman are thinning out.

"I think in terms of general soft public support, what I get out on the streets is we are stronger. In terms of it translating into victories at local elections, we are up against a really effective Labour Party machine which concentrates against us - it has knocked us back."

But he said recent council by-elections had seen the BNP triumph over the Lib Dems and Tories adding: "We are on the up again."

Asked about the party's election losses in May, Mr Griffin claimed the vote had remained "rock solid" but said Labour had "brilliantly exploited the postal vote" at local elections.

"But we've worked out what to do and we're going to be back."

The BNP has struggled with debts run up during election campaigns.

It was also engaged in a long-running court battle with the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) over its policy of restricting membership to "indigenous British people".

The BNP scrapped the rule but the EHRC accused party leader Nick Griffin of failing to comply with an order to remove potentially racist clauses from his party's constitution.

Last year Mr Griffin fought off an attempt to have him declared guilty of contempt of court at the High Court - which rejected the EHRC's bid to seize the party's assets.

Internal party documents seen by Panorama reveal that 12 months ago the BNP owed creditors more than £570,000. Mr Griffin recently said the party now owes just £52,000.

In his interview with the Politics Show North West, Mr Griffin claimed that "everyone, from the far left through the BBC and all sorts of neo-Nazi cranks - they're all against Nick Griffin actually, everyone is except ordinary people out there".

"We've got enormous support which we are going to build on. This has been a rocky patch which we have come through, I'm in charge for the next four years and we are going to move forward.

"I'm in charge and the majority of the party is happy with that."

NWN: A free 'puff' of publicity for the crook Nick Griffin and his dwindling band of merry or not so merry men. Why the free publicity for Griffin ? We have never had it before.

Well they need the BNP to do nothing and be a burden on the nationalist movement, and that is what it is now. We should be 'flying high' and winning elections with the state of the Country, but we are not.

And why is that we wonder ?

Because Griffin is where he is by the support of the State. They like him where he is, causing chaos and ruining and trashing the BNP and the nationalist movement.

"....Funded by Israel lobby, linked to Mossad...."

Tikun Olam / Richard Silverstein - Sunday 16th October 2011

Besieged former UK Defense Minister’s buddy
funded by pro-Israel lobby, linked to Mossad
by Richard Silverstein

Not to be outdone by the ludicrous goings-on in Washington DC, where our own Justice Department has tried to turn a drug-dealing, wife abusing, failed businessman into an Iranian Terrorist Mastermind, the Brits are trying to best us. The Tory government’s recently resigned defense minister, Liam Fox, left in disgrace after he was deeply implicated in a pay for play scandal involving a best friend, Adam Werrity, who jet-setted around the world with Fox and freelanced an independent foreign and defense policy that set official government figures on edge.

I’d followed this scandal peripherally until I started hearing more about Werrity’s doings, and then I really took notice. Werrity, it appears, held views roughly similar to Michael Ledeen and cultivated wealthy pro-Israel donors who funded his travels to Iran, Israel and other locales where, among other things, he plotted the overthrow of the Iranian regime [ ]:


“The revelation that the man who had unrestricted access to Mr Fox while he was serving in David Cameron’s Cabinet was at the same time attempting to unseat the Iranian President will fuel alarm in the Foreign Office that he was pursuing a freelance foreign policy and acting as a ‘rogue operator’.”


In order to be a neocon version of James Bond, Werrity required an extensive bankroll to fund his stays at first class luxury hotels. He found funding to the tune of hundred of thousands of pounds from some of the most well-known Tory and pro-Israel fatcats in Britain including the chair of the UK equivalent of Aipac [ ] (called Bicom):


“The Finnish billionaire Chaim ‘Poju’ Zabludowicz, who has given the Tories more than £100,000, was also named as a Pargav donor, via his company, Tamares Real Estate. Mr Zabludowicz shares Mr Fox’s pro-Israel opinions and chairs the pro-Israel lobbying group Bicom. He was yesterday said to be ‘extremely disappointed’ to discover the truth about how his money was used.”


Another key Werrity donor and central figure in Bicom was Michael Hintze:


“Most significant of all was the involvement of Michael Hintze, the billionaire fund manager who has given the Tories more than £1.4m – including individual donations to Mr Fox, George Osborne and Boris Johnson. He had already been brought under scrutiny after it was revealed that Mr Werritty worked from a desk at the offices of Mr Hintze’s hedge fund, CQS – and that Mr Hintze had donated £29,000 to Atlantic Bridge.”


Werrity was cozy not just with the UK pro-Israel lobby, but with figures likely from the Mossad as well:


“Mr Werritty, 33, has been debriefed by MI6 about his travels and is so highly regarded by the Israeli intelligence service Mossad – who thought he was Mr Fox’s chief of staff – that he was able to arrange meetings at the highest levels of the Israeli government, multiple sources have told The IoS.”


Werrity brought Fox to a dinner meeting with the British ambassador to Israel during a Herzlyia security conference, at which they met Israeli political figures including likely Mossad operatives. The Israelis were interested in Werrity’s travels to Iran, where he met with opposition figures and likely plotted his regime change agenda. All of this, of course, allowed the Iranians to claim, falsely we believed, during the post-election riots that British agents were plotting to overthrow the government. Turns out it likely was true. Though the Iranians may not have known that Werrity was doing so unofficially, not on behalf of the British government. But how can you blame the Iranians for not understanding the difference when it appears neither the Israelis, nor lots of others did either. In fact, an Israeli is quoted as saying he understood Werrity was Fox’s chief of staff.

Here is what official Britain thought of Werrity’s doings:


“One Whitehall source was scathing of Mr Werritty. The source said: ‘Ask yourself what he was doing there. It’s regime change but only in his own mind. I can’t think of anything more stupid, wandering round Iran flying the British flag. Does he really think the answer to Iran’s nuclear ambitions – which we all want to resolve – is to have a bunch of people encouraging the opposition there in that way? We do have a responsibility to those people, and anything that’s done like that has to have government approval, which he doesn’t seem to have had. It’s ridiculous. You are inviting people to believe you have the Government’s resources behind them, and in fact the opposition is likely to be brutally crushed.”


Now, what other foreign intelligence agency is plotting regime change? The Mossad of course. So the questions arises–just whose interest was Werrity serving when he engaged in all this razzle dazzle and subterfuge? He appears to suffer from the same illness that afflicts the pro-Israel lobby in the U.S. They pursue Israel’s interest to the detriment of the interests of their own country, because they don’t see any difference between the two. Israel’s interests in their eyes become U.S. or UK interests through some miraculous process of transsubstantiation. Here is how Craig Murray [ ] described the problem:


“Not only was Werritty being paid to act as an unofficial part of the Defence Secretary’s entourage, the money was coming from people who may have been ready to promote the interests of certain foreign governments, particularly the United States, Israel and Sri Lanka.

“…It is plain as a pikestaff that Fox had retained his effective partnership with Werritty in lobbying activities that not only were concerned with Israel and Sri Lanka, but which actively sought to promote the geo-strategic interests of those countries – for money.”

“…What really was worrying senior officials in the MOD [Ministry of Defense] and Cabinet Office was the possibility that Fox could be being used as a ‘useful idiot’ by Mossad, Israel’s far-reaching and extremely effective intelligence service. Key funding sources for Werritty were from the Israeli lobby and a rather obscure commercial intelligence agency. Might Mossad be pulling Werritty’s strings, with or without his knowledge?

“On Friday, two senior Fleet Street journalists also reported hearing similar concerns from other Whitehall officials about possible Israeli intelligence service involvement with Fox and Werritty. By working closely with an unofficial aide with extraordinary access but no security vetting and murky funding sources, Fox had potentially compromised national security. That is the real story here.”

Tories run true to type - Get Britain out of the EC !

As expected the vote betrays the British people . But with a 'merchant banker' like the toff David Cameron running a 'three line whip', what do you expect ?

We should get Britain out of these international enmeshments before we get dragged down with the collapsing Euro currency.

If only we had a party to get behind.

Those MPs that voted with Cameron are traitors.

Take it from me Mr Griffin, they always get you on the money - Al Capone.

Looks like Gaddafi was murdered ?

These are the sort of animals that we and NATO and the USA have been supporting ?

It's all very reminiscent of Saddam Hussain isn't it ?

We have been lied to and lied to by our 'mass media' and our leaders, who see nothing wrong in taking the shekel like the traitor Dr Liam Fox. Who openly now work for Israel, and the House of Commons doesn't even censure/charge people like Fox.

The fellow traitors applauded Fox in their den of iniquity that are the Houses of Parliament.

What is this 'New World Order' that 'they' have created ? It is monstrous !

The BNPs London Candidate writing for the Jewish Chronicle ?

"Where's Nick Griffin?" - BNP faithful

Picture the scene.

It was last Monday evening in the Lane Ends pub in Burnley,North East Lancashire. The evening had been advertised as a 'premiere' of the BNP expose on 'Nick Griffin and the BNP' in the PANORAMA BBC 1 TV programme and shown on that night.

The weather was awfully windswept and raining.

The dwindling few were there including Chris Vanns. Even the infamous Kitchens from West Yorkshire attended.

A buffet was on . It was billed as a major BNP event.

Well they watched the programme and they waited...........and waited..................and waited.

Where was the main person for the event, Nick Griffin ?

Surely Nick Griffin MEP for the North West of England where the event was held would be there as this had been billed as a major event to co-incide with the PANORAMA expose ?

Nick Griffin wasn't stuck in traffic or been waylaid by a domestic emergency. Griffin was actually in Aberdeen over 300 miles away from Burnley.

Why was he there ?

No-one seems to know.

Why did he not tell the BNP faithful he couldn't make this 'Grand BNP event' advertised in Burnley?

It doesn't surprise us at NWN of the actions of Nick Griffin. He is a selfish and callous man with no thoughts or feelings for anyone but his prissy self. We hope even some of the 'thickos' that still support the Nick Griffin fan club that the BNP has become, might 'wake up' from their slumber and join another nationalist group.
