White working class find their champion

“It’s unfair.”
That’s what British National Party campaigners hear every day when they are out canvassing in local council elections.
The British people, especially the white working class, have been discriminated against in their own country by the mainstream parties who have put the needs of ‘newcomers’ before those of the established population.
That unfairness was seen last night on BBC Question Time when British National Party MEP Nick Griffin was targetted not just by four other panellists, but by the chairman of Question Time and an audience described as “British voters”.
In 2020, the make up of the audience may well represent “British voters”, but it doesn’t represent Britain today. At the moment the English, Scots, Welsh and Irish are still a majority in our country.
Alone and against a carefully orchestrated campaign, the bravery of Nick Griffin shone through and despite the hatred and the bile emanating from the audience, he kept his bonhomie and dignity until the end.
After the programme the BBC started reading out the emails and texts it had received and it was immediately clear that the unfairness of the programme had resonated with many disenfranchised Britons.
Nick Griffin’s lone voice of warning was likened by many from the older generation to that of Enoch Powell and it is this similarity which the majority of viewers of last night’s programme will take away with them to May’s General Election.
