BNP manifesto: now it's not just the USA that has a nutcase racist militia
He said British troops should be pulled out of Iraq and used to patrol Dover and the Channel Tunnel to keep out illegal immigrants and asylum seekers.

And he pledged to introduce "firm but voluntary incentives for immigrants and their descendants to return home".
...
Mr Griffin also wants the reintroduction of national service and said everyone who had undergone it should be required to keep a modern assault rifle at home.

"It's there to shoot burglars with if they want, it's there to shoot people who invade this country if they want, and if in the end a tyrannical government wants to usurp the rights and freedoms of the people it is there to use against the government as well," he said.

Dear God, I can imagine what the 'firm incentives' would consist of if you let BNP supporters get their hands on assault rifles. The jerk thinks he's Oswald Mosley.

1. I'd ask him this:
Define "Immigrant". How far back do you have to go before you're classed as "British/English"?

2. I think it will be a racist thing:
from their website: "Membership of the British National Party is open to those of British or kindred European ethnic descent". So Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Heugenots will do OK. Anyone Jewish would probably be at risk (but that's not real surprise, is it?) I'm sure the BNP could work up some hatred for Eastern Europeans too.

And for those difficult to classify people of mixed descent - Griffin says: "We don’t hate anyone, especially the mixed race children who are the most tragic victims of enforced multi-racism, but that does not mean that we accept miscegenation as moral or normal. We do not and we never will." So he's just calling their ancestors immoral and abnormal, that's all. The screed I took that from degenerates further into talk of 'half-caste', while having to deny about 100 times that it's racist. He says that anyone with non-European ancestors isn't welcome at a BNP meeting (even if they are, say, a grandchild of a member), so he'd probably try to chuck them out of the country too.

3. The term "miscegenation" speaks volumes.
It's up there with "selective eugenics" and "final solution".
