BNP Leader Pelted With Eggs

BNP leader Nick Griffin had eggs thrown at him forcing him to abandon his press conference outside Parliament early yesterday morning.

Dozens of protesters disrupted the event, which follows the British National Party winning its first two seats in the European Parliament.

Chanting anti-Nazi slogans and holding placards they surrounded Mr Griffin as he was bundled into a car.

Mr Griffin was elected for the North West region - a result condemned by parties across the political spectrum.

Mr Griffin and Andrew Brons, who was elected in the Yorkshire and Humber region, staged a press conference on College Green, opposite the Houses of Parliament.

He had been speaking for about two minutes when about 50 to 100 protesters marched towards him chanting slogans and throwing eggs.

''Gossip''

The BNP leader began the event by holding up copies of national newspapers and talking about what he said were media lies about him and his party. He denied he had past links with Oswald Mosley, as the former fascist leader "was very hostile to the National Front from which I am from".

It is also said that Andrew Brons was to have started up a white supremacy group on Adolf Hitlers birthday, this was allegedly in Brons's younger days.

Slippery Slope

One of the most worrying things that I discovered when research Mr Griffin and Mr Brons's history, was that Andrew Brons actually teaches politics to secondary school students! Can you imagine the political views that Brons teaches his pupils!

One has to ask how can a clearly racist party be allowed to exist in the UK in this modern era, where multiculturalism is a key part of society.

The most worrying factor of all of this is just how much of the British public actually voted for them.
