Nick Griffin on Question Time Page 48

When there's someone like Nick Griffin about, why waste your disgust on the Royals?

I watched Question Time last night.

No one seems to know what to say anymore and seem to watching what you're saying. It's such a popularity contenst, and it makes me not believe anything anymore. Stupid politics.

Thoughts about the Burkha though anyone?

Griffin is a natural ally of theirs and they know it, they all think the same privately but the shysters put on this public face of disgust. They disgust me.

Or do they in fact make no comment and you make all of this up?

Wellll, at first I thought it was totally out of order trying to tell people what not to wear. (Although I do of course object to muslim women being told they *have* to cover up too).
But I guess it does makes sense that people with their faces covered can't be seen on CCTV, etc.

I don't know, basically.

I hardly ever see people wearing full face-covering burkas to be honest. But when I do, it's so unusual that I do stare (like when I see a nun), so it's quite ironic when the point of wearing them is so that they don't get looked at (by men), I think they'd find they got looked at less without the flipping things on.

She's German

No, she's not. Left-leaners like yourself would have a fit if people went around accusing nth-generation immigrants of not actually being British. "The Royals are German" is a stereotype that was tired and incorrect even when it was new.

You're damned right about most left-leaners, Aaron.

'When it suits them...', just like everyone else!

Just cross the border to south London and you should see a few more full body and face veil wearers, I always find Tooting to be a hotspot for them especially near the mosque.

Ach just having a laugh Aaron. People have been making fun of the Royals for being foreign since Chaucer.

As it is Toadface Griffin was banned for making a public statement of his attendance and trying to gain political capital.

In other words the idiot mistake of a profoundly incompetent and inexperienced politician.

How about in the mosque?

I am in south London!
Just not the right bit for burkas I suppose.

Same.

If they were men with their faces covered, I'd be a lot more threatened.

Hmm, only a little. But you misread my disgust sir, I couldn't care less about their old fashioned sense of humour or how they see foreigners, what disgusts me is their frantic attempts to cover this up or convince us that they are modern and liberal. Thanks to Princess Di we know they aint (bet she spins in her grave over Harry). If it wasn't for our rabid muck raking press then none of this would be an issue and they could invite who they liked to tea, and I really think they should be able to. Griffin is a clumsy throwback but has he killed anyone? They've entertained much more really harmful people in the past.

How do you know they're not men? They're all covered up - could be Lord Lucan for all you know.

Exactly.
