BNP leader, in maiden European parliament speech, claims parties using taxpayers' money 'to fund own militia which breaks up opposition meetings'.

The British National party leader, Nick Griffin, today delivered his first speech to the European parliament, using a debate on Iran to denounce alleged human rights violations against "nationalist dissidents" in Britain.

As the UK government declared it would have no truck with those "who are clearly racist and extremist individuals" and barred Griffin and his fellow BNP MEP, Andrew Brons, from a Strasbourg reception tonight, he accused Labour, the Tories and the Lib Dems of routinely deploying "intimidation and violence against nationalist dissidents in Britain".

The 'red line' in UK

I would like to say though that Nick Griffin is especially objectionable and deserves 'bashing' for his racist views and lack of human decency. And with regards to having no 'red line' in the UK, its called 'freedom of expression' , no media censorship... although that is not as true as we are led to believe.  Javaneh

Wgm1919,

 

Does the Iranian people’s uprising caused such a big bang in the head that made you guys contradict yourself like this??? All this time you’ve been praising the “Islamic Republic” , and now Islamic regime is a symbol of what’s bad?

 

Isn’t that contradicting yourself???

 

Also, out of desperation, you’ve been posting “stupid propaganda”. In England they bash and trash everything from the queen to religion to everything. There is no red line. Can you say the same thing about IRI?
