Nick Griffin hails BNP’s European wins as ‘first breach in the dam’

Nick Griffin, the leader of the BNP, was in a generous mood yesterday. He could afford to be.
His election and that of his colleague, Andrew Brons, to the European Parliament opens up a huge war chest: they will each have a salary of €91,980 (£80,443) and access to staff budgets of €210,480 and office allowances of €50,424.
Mr Griffin talked about opening a BNP office as his first step but added: “We promised we would give 10 per cent of our wages to local community groups and if we made anything in expenses we would pledge to do the same with that. We will not be putting any money into the BNP but to local community groups to help them celebrate St George’s Day or promote a Christian Christmas.”
Mr Griffin, 50, had left his two pet rottweilers at home in Llanerfyl, near Welshpool, Powys, but he had brought his bodyguard with him to meet the media. “Bill”, his fists decorated with multiple rings, was never more than a few steps away from his master. Mr Griffin need not have worried. His presence elicited a stream of honked horns from passing lorry drivers.
He had snatched only two hours’ sleep and eaten a hasty meal of fish and chips since he and his wife, Jackie, limped home from his party’s celebrations in Manchester. He described his election victory in the North West of England region as a “moment that history will regard as being as important as the rise of the Labour Party as an electoral force”.
