Nicholas John "Nick" Griffin is a British politician, chairman of the British National Party (BNP) and Member of the European Parliament for North West England. 
Griffin was born in Barnet, London, and was educated in Suffolk. He joined the National Front aged fifteen, and following his graduation from Cambridge University became a political worker for the party. In 1980 he became a member of its governing body, and later wrote articles for several right-wing magazines. He was the National Front's candidate for the seat of Croydon North West in 1981 and 1983 before leaving in 1989. In 1995, he joined the BNP, and became leader in 1999. He stood as the party's candidate in several elections, and was elected as a member of the European Parliament for North West England in the 2009 European Elections. In 1977 Griffin went to Downing College, Cambridge, where he studied history, then law.[1] His affiliation with the National Front was revealed during a Cambridge Union debate, and his photograph was published in a student newspaper. Undeterred, he later founded the Young National Front Student organisation. He graduated with a Second Class Honours (Lower Division) in law (2:2), and a boxing blue, having taken up the sport following a brawl with an anti- fascist in Lewisham.[11] He boxed three times against Oxford in the annual Varsity match, winning twice and losing once. 
Griffin describes himself as a "moderniser", and "new nationalist", and upon his election as leader of the BNP spoke of his contempt for its traditional supporters.[90] He has changed the BNP's traditional focus on immigration and race, to a defence of what it sees as "our traditional principles against the politically correct agenda"[91] espoused by mainstream politicians. He has portrayed himself as a defender of free speech, and has repeatedly spoken about multiculturalism. Upon his election to the European Parliament Griffin attempted a formal alliance with right-wing parties, which would have entitled them to extra funding, but was unsuccessful. He has also held talks with other far-right European parties, such as Vlaams Belang and Jobbik.[94] The BNP maintains ties with Roberto Fiore and fascist groups across Europe.[95][96] Griffin has criticised the Labour government for its attitude toward the BNP, accusing it of treating elected representatives of the BNP as "second-class citizens".[97] Following his election, in a press conference held at a public house in Manchester, he criticised the privatisation of national industries, such as the railway network, and accused MPs generally of being involved in this "… giant looting of Britain".[98] He accused private corporations and the "ruling elite" in Britain of building a "Eurocratic state", a process he called "Mussolini fascism […] under Gordon Brown."[98] He supported the Gurkhas, stating that the BNP would allow them and their families entry to the country for medical treatment "for as long as they needed treatment, or for as long as they lived."[99] He also suggested the removal of 100,000 Muslims "disloyal to Britain" and their replacement with the Gurkhas.[99]

What's the difference between Racism_Boot's mouth and anal pore? There isn't any, they both spew gas and feces.
Hey Bushbots...imagine a political party that serves the citizens of their own nation and not illegals, globalist corporations or mooslums.
Good post Thor. He's a good man who loves England, and not mammon, unlike the traitors running England today and in the US.
In case you two are inebriated, this site is in the United States of America. There was a revolution a couple of hundred years ago so that we could be independent of the British monarchy. SHEESH!

Nice graphic!
I'll bet you and your ilk are believers.

And in case you haven't been keeping up with current events, the United State of America exists only in name now. It is run by a Marxist cabal who have no respect for the constitution. The constitution, by the fact a non-citizen is the nation's president, is dead. Time for a new order.
Time for a new order. The US Constitution is an inanimate object. Obama isn't, but he is finite. By pushing a British nationalist? You're delusional.

By pushing a British nationalist? You're delusional. If you believe that Obama is indeen NOT an American Citizen, then you must conclude that the rule of law is in fact dead in America. Every law signed by him is unconstitutional, yet will be obey as if it was constitutional. If you don't understand that that means constitutional law is finished in the US, then you are the one who is delusional. I'm not pushing a British National for America, I'm celebrating the fact that there are people, unlike you, Bush, Obama and McCain, who put their county's interests first and foremost, as opposed to the banking elite. You support the bankers and Wall Street thugs, I support Americans.
LOL! You are either delusional or an idiot, which is it, twinkletoes?

A true patriot isn't afraid to share his opinion about Amerika. I take it your a Republican?
I take it your a Republican? A true US citizen Patriot would never spell AMERICA any other way, foreigner! No. You continue to display your deep and abiding ignorance.
