EAST LONDON PRESS first report on the BNP MEP elections

In the name of East London! How Margaret Hodge paved the way for the 'acceptability' of the idea that BNP was electable!

Now that the BNP has two MEPs elected, with many other BNP local councillors across England, how long before Tower Hamlets, Newham, Hackney and Greenwich ‘join’ in the ‘trend’?

Or are there already 'sleeping’ BNP members or supporters among sitting councillors on those councils?

Griffin was declared elected MEP in the past 90 minutes.

In his first speech and interviews following the declaration, Griffin has made the point that British MEPs from the mainstream parties were engaged as agents of Big corporations. He has said that he would get into the EU’s archives, find the facts and publish the evidence of the MEPs’ working for Big corporations.

In other comments Griffin has suggested that he is taking a moral stance on things.

This is of course not the truth about the BNP’s agenda; say the BBC and the Guardian.

Polly Toynbee of the Guardian, who was one of three panellists with the BBC’s Emily Maitlis commenting on the results, stated that Nick Griffin’s election was terrible news.

However, the mainstream media and the main Political parties are now faced with the challenge of denying the BNP a platform.

The No platform to fascists’ policy of the NUJ
Is not working. It is clear that there never was a really serious plan to stop the BNP or other fascistic organizations a platform.

The BBC and other broadcast have been giving Nick Griffin regular platforms. As they have done in the past hours as well.

This is not new.

Especially not to Margaret Hodge who along with the Guardian began the process of making the BNP look acceptable.

Others like former Mayor of London Ken Livingstone have given the BNP additional ‘credibility’.

In all their protestations of opposition to the BNP, the so-called anti-fascists in the Labour Party have failed to show any policy direction that could counter the BNP’s electoral relevance.

In the East End of London, the threat posed by the BNP agenda is gaining increasing weight. Especially as the local councils, mostly made up of Labour Party members, are politically bankrupt.

As if that were not bad enough, these councils are made up of individuals who could not be more unsuitable to be councillors. Dozens of councillors are unfit for office. But they are allowed to be party candidates year in and year out.

Such deep corruptions that infest the Labour Party – and to large extents the other mainstream parties – can only help the BNP programme.

That bankruptcy was admitted by Margaret Hodge and the Guardian when they collaborated to launch the PLATFORM FOR THE FASCISTS campaign a few years back.

Until that time, no mainstream political party or media had given such positive coverage to the BNP.

So the two MEPs for the BNP who have been declared elected in the past 100 minutes, were in the queue waiting to get elected. It was only a matter of time.

The same will happen to the most sensitive parts of all England where the BNP is concerned: East London.

The records of the local Councils and the local MPs show that they are not capable of realising this. Going by the record of their conduct in the past 50 years, these institutions and their ‘leaders’; and members will continue to make things worse and the BNP will walk in.
