I remember posting something along the lines of "they say "Labour want to allow half a million Gurkhas to settle here"" a short while ago.

All the paps had the "lol" angle

Mentioned this on another thread already but the Express won with its front page photo caption of "Griffin was spattered with egg yolk. The BNP only accepts whites."

Not sure if it was intentional, though.

Didn't he say they were mercenaries and don't deserve anything?

Quail egg attack by Joanna Lumley is a must

Luke 'Ming' Flanagan is an Irish politician and social campaigner. He began his political career running unsuccessfully as an independent candidate in the Galway West constituency in 1997, and went on to contest the Connaught Ulster constituency in the European elections of 1999 and the Longford-Roscommon constituency in the 2002 Dáil election.[1] On none of these occasions did he reach two per cent of the vote.[2]

He was viewed as a joke candidate, shaving his hair and styling his beard in the way of Ming the Merciless from the film Flash Gordon. His posters and other election material featured a cannabis leaf, and legalisation of the drug was one of his main policy platforms. He voiced uncompromising support for radical social and environmental issues, and displayed a knack for using the media, being featured in many newspapers and radio programmes who were attracted by his colourful appearance and strong rhetoric.

In 2001 he hit the headlines when he sent more than 200 cannabis cigarettes to politicians in the Oireachtas, one to each TD and senator, as part of his campaign to have cannabis legalised.[3][4]

He returned to his native Castlerea and contested the 2004 local elections, and was elected to Roscommon County Council,[5] topping the poll and getting elected on the first count, defeating sitting councilors John Murray and Danny Burke.[6] He was re-elected on the first count in June 2009, receiving 16.8% of 1st preference votes in his Castlerea electoral area, and exceeding the quota by 394 votes

I mean I expect this will play right into his usual guff about PC GONE MAD while missing the REAL ISSUES of, I don't know, some crap about CHURCHILL.

Not that the letters not a good thing, I just don't think it makes any dent on him or his supporters.

Old Ned 1962 Vinyl Edition (Ned Trifle II), Monday, 15 June 2009 15:10 (fourteen years ago) link

idk, but it does make a dent on potential supporters.

FREE DOM AND ETHAN (special guest stars mark bronson), Monday, 15 June 2009 15:13 (fourteen years ago) link

Yes, it'll be like egg off cheap suit for him but might make some of the people who voted for him even more embarrassed about it than they already claim to be

and i think it's a good thing if groups that have the potential to command respect amongst likely recruitment/expansion ground for the bnp come out and directly oppose griffin et al.

U2 raped goat (darraghmac), Monday, 15 June 2009 15:16 (fourteen years ago) link

FREE DOM AND ETHAN (special guest stars mark bronson), Monday, 15 June 2009 15:17 (fourteen years ago) link
