Please, be more specific and clear on your questions:

Nick Griffin, not Griffen: born 1959 is a British politician. Since 1999 he has been the National Chairman of the British National Party (BNP).
Among the bad things that racist people love about him:
* Griffin has a history of Holocaust denial and has in the past made anti-Semitic remarks.
* Griffin has had many detractors. He is regarded by some in Britain as a neo-Nazi and a fascist, both of which he disputes.
* Many have also criticised him for meeting with David Duke, former leader of the Ku Klux Klan and visiting Libya at Muammar al-Qaddafi's expense.
As Chairman, he is strongly associated with the BNP and has been drawn into many of the controversies surrounding it.
* In 1998, Griffin, along with Paul Ballard, was convicted of violating section 19 of the Public Order Act 1986, relating to incitement to racial hatred, for his editorship of issue 12 of The Rune, published in 1996
* On 14 December 2004, Nick Griffin was arrested on suspicion of incitement to racial hatred
* In early November 2006, Nick Griffin's retrial began. On Friday 10 November 2006, that's earlier today, was found not guilty on all counts of inciting racial hatred.

This just tells us what kind of person is posting this question.

The British National Party has its followers, others who are not followers but feel this party somehow give voice to private worries concerning the way this country is going.

There is a huge vaccuum in the political landscape of this country waiting to be filled. Ths pages of history are filled with parallels.

When voters look at the different political parties they do so in despair. We have a Prime Minister who refuses to listen to the 'voice of the people', a non-existent opposition, judges not supported by their superiors, an immigrant population making demands that are backed with violence when not that responded to.

Who is ruling who?

As long as the voter continues to feel disenfranchised, there is room for a party who promises to listen to exist and grow.

It will be interesting to see how this country (Britain) developes over the next 20 years.

Free speech is incredibly important. Attempts to supress it are very dangerous. It is also a complicated area as one previous answerer proved with his reference to Abu Hamza.

I do not agree with the BNP. They are clearly racist and their policy of compulsory repatriation is stupid and unworkable. However I am happy with a victory for free speech today. There are too many people out there who want to fine/punish/belittle those who have the courage to voice their opinions, however 'politcally incorrect' they may be.

The BNP gains support from generally decent people who are treated with contempt by the ruling government and mainstream parties. There is a political void which needs to be filled. When decent men and women become so exasperated with the decline of our country they have to lend support to the BNP, something is very wrong.

The British National Party, have been compared to the Nazi party. They believe that all coloured people should `go home` even if they were born here and have no home but here. They don`t like the Jews and any coloured people. Nick Griffen a party member went to court accused of racial incitement. To-day he was found not guilty. The information here is for the Americans and others on the site, who do not understand what this question is about.

I am, people criticise the BNP of being racist when the system is already racist. For instance the police force by coinicidence turning down the majority of white males applying but allowing the majority of ethnic minorities in... racial discrimination i think. Im not actually sure on the truth of the BNP, im all for less immigrants and not joining the EU, just not quite to extreme lengths as segregation, I'm glad they won today though. I hope the claims of Neo-Nazis are lies, i find it hard to believe they are true but i shall research myself.

I don't trust the BNP, but they are getting more voters on the basis that a lot of British people feel very let down.

The government here do not listen to what the majority of the people want. (i.e. immigration etc..)

They keep sticking their noses in everywhere else instead of getting their own house in order.

I agree in theory. But the BNP is still dodgy and not really a route we should go down. Plus, do you support Abu Hamza outside Finsbury Mosque. That's free speech too or not.....?

Maybe you should get a free adult literacy lesson.
Right.
This is another trawl of the depths and a good number of bloody little englanders have appeared in the net.
If you use excrement such as this question as bait, you'll get the bottom-feeders.
The under-achieving, low intelligence Nigels (ble) are just as Nazi as the Germans from sixty-odd years ago that they still hate.
But hate is what this is all about and it is based in fear.
Whether it is penis envy or just irrational notions, it does not matter and neither do the opinions of BNP supporters count as they will never hold political clout.
Sod off Nigel.

I'm with you, over here in the USA (ex-pat). The charges were trumped up and it took twelve fearless citizens to see through that. The jury system is not perfect but today everyone in the free world should be thankful that we have it.

I do not subscribe to the BNP's political stance, but I can understand why people feel motivated to vote for them. It is time the mainstream parties woke up to this fact and started treating the British electorate with some respect.
