Gah! Bloody stupid Nick Griffin and his ignorant followers.
On the upside, he got the egging he so richly deserved.
I am left wondering who the hell he means when he says "the indigenous British majority". For an island that has been invaded and invaded and invaded and settled and resettled, what is he talking about? The closest we have, in the UK, to the native population, are the Welsh, ironically called by a word that means "foreigner".
Where does Mr. Griffin draw his line? We've had African immigration since at least Roman times (they had slaves, don'tcher know), and we've been invaded and/or settled by Celts, Vikings, Danes, Saxons and Normans in relatively recent history. More recently, we marched across the globe, declaring entire peoples to be English and we have fourth and fifth generation Indian/Bangladeshi/Pakistani and West-Indian people here, people whose grandparents have never called anywhere other than the UK home.
How indigenous is Mr. Griffin? Any genealogists fancy the challenge?
