oooh well done Heidi , thats why I couldn't find it :) Edwin was my dad's name

xx

Afternoon all ;o)

It's Edgar Vincent Griffin, not Edwin. He married Jean Thomas Q4 1950, Hendon, Middlesex.....

Not that I've been looking it up, obviously... ;op

He's an idiot. He has nothing to say that I want to hear.

Yes we have immigration problems, and yes, it's not perfect, but humanity is the thing that should shine through in all of this. All that man spews is nothing short of vile, vicious hatred.

I'm off, I'm going to see The Human League in Thetford Forest tonight, so I've lots to do! have a great day everyone :o))

cruel but true
when i lived in Kent
some refugees came across from France on a lilo
paddling away for merry hell they were
and some of the local kids
got a air rifle and took pot shots at the lilo
the lifeboat had to go out and rescue them

Maggie I am also 100% English (apart from William the Conqueror - allegedly!). I'd be very lonely without all you lot tho and all my real life friends who have non-English ancestry, however recent. In fact my kids would have no friends at all! Thankfully neither of them 'see' skin colour or racial difference. their friends are just their friends :-)

you would think that him saying that would make people realise what the BNP are really like, but the problem is that there are a surprising amount of people who would actually agree.

I don't think there is a simple solution, every country wants the best for their citizens and every individual wants the best for themselves and their family and will cross continents and risk their lives to get to it. until there is real freedom and equality across the world, there will always be refugees, ex-pats and migrating workers.

Horrible Evil Man!!

Maggie - just love your story of the ball crushing platforms!!!! I have a Jarret in my tree - my Dad's sister married a Jarret

there cannot be any British person who is "pure" bred - no way - I was digging back into my paternal grandmother's line - Harman - and was horrified to find out it was German - [apologies to our German members] but I did live through WW2!!!] - I had always thought it was Welsh as there are so many Welsh Harmans

I do wish they would put him on WDYTYA but I bet he wouldn;t go on there

Thank you to all for answered, especially those who did so (and didn't in fact!) after I went to bed, I was going to delete in case it 'turned' but forgot.

Btw, Anyone else having a look at the Griffin tree ? I found his birth as per Maggie's info ( I had to didn't I ?! lol) but couln't yet see a marriage for mum and dad.

I think it's immaterial how many of us would be here because of where our ancestors were born.

Surely the whole point here is humanity. I honestly cannot believe that anyone would advocate sinking boats of 'would be' immigrants.

I think it is now time for our immigration laws to be tightened up.
As a country we are now 'running on empty' and the enormous drain on our National Health and Education cannot be sustained for much longer.

I can see no point in letting more and more people into this country if we cannot give them and us a half way decent life.
It just seems pointless to me for an immigrant to leave one ghetto for another even if it is in a different country.

In answer to your question Rose... I would never vote for the BNP and am puzzled by people who can and do.

Jean x.

Never have voted for the BNP and never will.

Rose, how's that family tree coming along??? lol ;-)

This man has finally shown his true colours in public. Though we knew this already, that he & his party are racist bigots.

The great shame.......As I see it.........is that, despite the rights or wrongs of todays economic & political woes. That people decided to show there dissatisfaction by voting in the likes of him.
OK two fingers to the government is one thing. But in doing this. It has given him 4yrs of office, load of money to his partys coffers & media coverage. Just so that the BNP can spread their vile, xenophobic, racist policies.

And what will the people of his constituency receive for his term as a MEP.......Nothing but bad publicity.

Steve.

You're welcome Rose!! I'm off to bed now - work in the morning.

Anne of GG - his mother IS very proud, she's an administrator for the BNP, and her husband took Nick to his first BNP rally when he was 15.

Didn't really have much chance did he?

ooh thanks Maggie! now you do realise i shall be up all night doing the Griffin family tree? lol ....

I am (so far) 100% English - that's English, not British, tracing most sides back to the 1600's - though there may have been a Dutch immigrant in the 1600's who came over, with many others to drain the Fens - I only surmise this because of his forename - Jarrett - and the fact that I can't trace him back any further...

However, I suffered racial abuse in my youth because of my olive skin and jet black hair. My fantastic 'double afro' enabled me, at first hand to be kicked in the back by a pr*tt on a bike and to 'go back home n......'. It was when he turned to spit in my face, and realised I wasn't black that he fell off his bike, thus enabling me to put him in a situation of fear - and I was wearing ball crushing platforms at the time!! LOL

My grandad's best mate in the 1920's was black. His dad was from Barbados, but his mother was at least 6th generation in Britain - hardly a recent immigrant!!!

As Jill says - Griffin should be a candidate on WDYTYA- and if he refuses, the public should know.
Actually, it's not beyond the realms of GR members to do a bit of searching.......

Here's your starter:
Nick Griffin was born in Barnet in 1959 - father Edwin

Tin of peaches ooer big ouch Rose.

I remember reading on the tin they came from the Cape of South Africa and I thought that was so posh. LOL

Have to admit I don't know a great deal about the BNP I have never been interested as they seem so nasty.

We are led to believe our voting system is private??
Well I know of some persons who did vote for that party for the sole purpose of finding out if they get anything in the post from that particular party! Or indeed any other political party.
Silly strategy to me but I must say I wil be interested to hear what they get in the post in the future.
Well all ballot papers have a number on them so they can identify each of us can't they?

lol it does LWD ! my temperament is from the Irish side ( on Mum's side) and their surname is Norman in origin 'probably' ... so it is no wonder I am a bit 'odd'

(that and the fact my mum dropped a family size tin of peaches on my head when I was a toddler LOL ( she swore it slipped out of her hands as I ran underneath ....hmmmm! lol)

Very odd eh Rose?? lol

explains a lot. just joking!!!! pmsl

LWD, I might have an odd (very odd !) Norman or two....both surnames ( mum and dad) could have originated there.

I wouldn't be here either or OH.
Well my Dads side as one line goes back to the six Earls of Normandy and that King Rollo chap from Denmark or wherever he came from (I forgot where) LOL
Once I discovered we were Normans I gave up on that side of my tree,I mean they were 'orrible!!!!
