The London born chairman of the British National Party, Nick Griffin MEP has announced that he will be standing in the Westminster constituency of Barking, east Londonistan in the next general election.

At the last general election in 2005, the votes were as follows:-


The BNP, with Richard Barnbrook as their candidate finishing only 27 votes behind the conservatives, the party that is supposedly the official opposition party.

The sitting MP is the Minister of State, Lady Margaret Hodge who has seen her share of the vote decline substantially over the last three general elections, as more and more of the indigenous population, suffering under Labour have woken up to the fact that Labour has lied to them for decades and now she has an attackable majority of 8,883.

The British National Party has wide support across all of Barking from the indigenous white voters who see their area and country transforming into something they do not recognise as they come under increasing pressure from the influx of unwanted colonisers.

Mr Griffin said when he announced his candidacy:

“The thrust of the campaign will be the housing and education problems in the borough, and how Labour has let the borough down in a quite catastrophic way. For the first time ever we are really challengers in half a dozen seats where we will be concentrating large amounts of resources.....

We will be the only serious party calling for immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan. I believe that will be the key to the election for us. Afghanistan will have a huge resonance with ordinary voters. We want to present a moral choice between those parties supporting a futile and counter-productive war and one that says we should be out of there immediately”.

Margaret Hodge, on hearing the news waffled and said she was "more than ready to expose and expel the BNP from the borough". Dream on darling.  Have you forgotten what you said back May 2006 when you said that as many as eight out of ten voters in your constituency were thinking of voting BNP and you had almost your entire party screaming for your blood?

"Since she said that eight out of 10 families might vote BNP, we have never seen so many reporters and cameramen around here.

"She has raised their profile and put them in the limelight.

"We have had people saying they are considering voting BNP because they feel that once the Labour minister says something, it must be right.

"Even in wards where the BNP are not standing, we have had people shouting out, 'Vote BNP'.

"I don't know what her intentions were when she said it but it hasn't helped us at all. It seems as if the BNP have become a mainstream party all of a sudden."

Not quite correct.  The BNP is more than a mainstream political party, it is a revolutionary movement for change.  Once it is seen as being "mainstream" it will be classed as being just like the others - it must always be "something different" and it must never be seen to be "politically correct".

Ok so what do we know about Lady Margaret Hodge?

Well she is a "Civic British Citizen" having been born  in Egypt as Margaret Oppenhimer, the daughter of  German Jewish parents who made their millions as steel traders.  Not sure where she picked the title "Lady" up from.  I suspect it was from her 2nd marriage to High Court Judge Sir Henry Hodge who died earlier this year.

Involved in 1990, in claims about sexual abuse of children in Islington, whilst she was Leader of Islington Council, she attempted to suppress information that she was ultimatley responsible and attacked one of the victims as being "extremely disturbed".

In 2003, following Hodge's appointment as Minister for Children, Demetrious Panton went public with his allegation that he was abused in Islington Council care and had repeatedly raised this issue with no effect. He accused Margaret Hodge of being ultimately responsible for the abuse that he suffered. Liz Davies also went public with the issues that she had raised concerns about while working for the council.

Following a media campaign conducted by several national newspapers calling for her to resign from her new post, she responded to Panton by letter, in which she referred to him as 'extremely disturbed'. Panton then passed the letter to the press which planned to publish it, only to be judicially restrained from doing so at the instruction of Hodge. The letter was eventually published, mainly on the grounds that the blocking of the letter was seen as disproportionate. Hodge was forced to publicly apologise and offered to contribute to a charity of the man's choosing as recompense.

With regards to the losses of jobs at MG Rover, this civic Briton suggested that they find employment at Tesco.  When you are a Lady Millionaire you tend to lose touch with reality.

Previous responses to the concerns of the indigenous British and their increasing support for the BNP was to say that the Labour Party should promote "very, very strongly the benefits of the new, rich multi-racial society".

So now let us have at Lady Hodges voting record:

  • Has never voted on a transparent Parliament.
  • Voted for introducing a smoking ban.
  • Voted for introducing ID cards.
  • Voted for Labour's anti-terrorism laws.
  • Voted for the Iraq war.
  • Voted against investigating the Iraq war.
  • Voted for the hunting ban.
  • Voted for equal gay rights.

She attends Wimbledon with free tickets provided by the BBC and is a major shareholder in the family steel trading company Stemcor, of which her brother Ralph Oppenheimer is the chairman.  The company was valued at £220 million in 2007 and the family worth then was £178 million.  One would have thought she could have afforded to pay for her own Wimbledon tickets.

Despite her obvious wealth, this champagne socialist still managed to suck up expense claims totalling £223,849 to add to her basic salary of £64,766 giving this millionaire a total of £305,972 in 2008.

I have said before that there is a difference between being "British" and "Civic British" and this shows nicely by the fact that in 2008 Lady Margaret Hodge was forced to admit that in five years, the Labour government had spend a pitiful £230 on promoting England's St Georges Day and that her own department had spent a paltry £116.  just £2 more than in 2007 and absolutely nothing in the previous 3 years.
