    BNP leader says Irish welcome in Britain


    The leader of the British National Party has said Irish citizens are welcome in Britain despite his party's anti-immigration policies.
    Nick Griffin said the country's doors would be shut, except to those immigrants whose entry would suit the UK, such as physicists with specialist skills.
    Speaking on BBC radio this morning, Mr Griffin said: 'We are certainly not going to shut the doors to the Irish, because the Irish, as far as we are concerned, are part of Britain and fully entitled to come here.

    'We mean that the doors are going to be shut, because Britain's full. We are the most overcrowded country in Europe.
    'If you are talking about Polish plumbers or Afghan refugees, the doors are going to be shut, because Britain is full.'
    'The door is shut to any significant numbers whatsoever, from anywhere. It's open where it suits Britain and suits the British people. That's fair enough.'

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭Prof.Badass


    Griffin is an Irish name. How handy for him that we happen to be the only other acceptable nationality :rolleyes:.

    ah thanks nick, your so kind, to right, the irish built britian

    but now we can add some more of your ignorance of UK history along with everything else to reasons why you dont deserve any more seats in the UK

    :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,838 ✭✭✭Nulty


    TBH I'd be more tempted to go if I thought we weren't welcome.

    AH-HA!

    A well implemented piece of reverse psychology Mr. Griffin has employed. :)

    A while back I decided to visit the BNP website because of all the controversy they were kicking up and I saw their solution to Northern Ireland is to welcome Éire and Ulster into a federation of the islands as equal partners.
    The obviously think they can do a better job than past attempts.

    There isn't a chance in hell of them getting in... though they'll get a seat or two this time no doubt


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 365 ✭✭shofukan


    What an idiot.. Didn't care about them before. But now they just seem retarded.

    The BNP party does not regard non-white people as being British, even if they have been born in the UK and are naturalised British citizens.

    The BNP is opposed to mixed-race relationships on the stated ground that racial differences must be preserved; the party said that "when whites take partners from other ethnic groups, a white family line that stretches back into deep pre-history is destroyed.

    The BNP supported University of Leeds lecturer Dr. Frank Ellis, who was suspended from his post after stating that the Bell Curve theory "has demonstrated to me beyond any reasonable doubt there is a persistent gap in average black and white average intelligence".

    Sure why would any of that bother you? But calling the Irish, British. Now that's retarded.

    Their stupidity is starting to rival Sarah Palin but I don't think it is possible to get as low as her.

    Racism is bad enough, I don't deny it man. I've a mate in London who's a third generation Londoner who speaks with a cockney accent and has left the UK only once in her life. Speaking with her I could understand completely why she hated them with a passion.
    This is slightly different to racism though, it's ignorance and stupidity to a major aspect of his own history that lies closer to home than anything else.

    Ah, so good to be white :)

    I assume he means South Georgia near the Falklands. He is a right tool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭Lone Stone


    Il assume he meant that we are welcome because our culture wont try to impose itself over there's.

    And eh who ever quoted that federation of islands from the site sounds like a nice idea actually. We could build space ships and when we invade other countries do it the the of the federation BAMMMMMMMmmmm :P

    I'm pretty sure he would leave the EU thus removing that issue.

    Now I know why he thinks Ireland is British. We're obsessed with British politicians and their policies. He must have popped onto boards.ie and seen all the threads about him.
