020. Future of Nationalism and Patriotic Alternative Part 10

Mark Collett on the Demise of the BNP – “Another reason was the party got bogged down in a very silly legal challenge with the European Human Rights Commission,‭ ‬who was saying that we couldn’t have a Whites Only Policy anymore.‭ ‬It was Against the Law to Discriminate against people on the Basis of Race.‭ ‬And at the time,‭ ‬everyone on the advisory council had voted unanimously just to Change that Policy.‭ ‬But Nick Griffin went Against everyone’s advice,‭ ‬decided to Fight in Court.‭ ‬Well,‭ ‬that made us look Blatantly Racist,‭ ‬which again,‭ ‬wasn’t good for PR.‭ ‬And also,‭ ‬it cost the party Hundreds of Thousands of Pounds.‭ ‬And finally,‭ ‬there had been some Very Bad Decisions taken by the people who were apportioning money in the party.‭ ‬The party ended up in something like Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand Pounds worth of Debt,‭ ‬which Dragged it Down.‭ ‬And all of these things led to a number of Splits,‭ F‬all Outs.‭ ‬And the people brought in to replace people like me when I left were basically not the kind of people you would want involved in a party.‭ ‬And those kind of people,‭ ‬when they were appointed‭ ‬cast Real Doubts on Nick Griffin’s ability as a Leader or as a man who could make Sound Judgments.‭ ‬For example,‭ there‬ was a guy he appointed as National Treasurer of a party that turns over‭ Two M‬illion Pounds.‭ ‬A national treasurer should be somebody who’s maybe an Accountant,‭ ‬maybe somebody who’s been in the Financial Services Industry,‭ ‬somebody who’s worked in a Bank,‭ ‬somebody who might be a Civil Servant.‭ ‬Well,‭ ‬in Nick Griffin’s infinite wisdom,‭ ‬he chose a man whose resumé was one of a balance,‭ y‬eah,‭ ‬a Bouncer.‭ ‬He worked on the door in clubs and had been involved in a Large Criminal Case for Importing Drugs into the country.‭ ‬Now,‭ ‬that case itself Collapsed.‭ ‬But to me,‭ ‬you know,‭ ‬if I was running a party with a turnover of two million pounds,‭ ‬I would want the person looking after the funds to be someone that everyone could look up to, and Admire, and say,‭ ‬well,‭ ‬the Funds are in Safe Hands.‭ ‬You know,‭ ‬you wouldn’t just give it to the Local Bouncer who’d be known for,‭ ‬you know,‭ A‬llegedly Selling Drugs in a small town.‭ ‬And all of these things led to the Collapse of the Party The real sad thing about the collapse of the BNP was it takes years and years.‭ ‬It takes decades to build a political party.‭ ‬It takes hours and hours to put it together,‭ ‬but all it takes is One Quick Swipe to knock it all down.‭ ‬And in the matter of‭ ‬12‭ ‬to‭ ‬18‭ ‬months of Bad Decisions,‭ ‬poor TV Performance, bad Financial Planning and Lots and Lots of Fall Outs,‭ t‬he Party was pretty much Wrecked!”
