The BNP would offer non-white British people £50,000 to leave "overcrowded" Britain and return to the land of their ancestors, the party's leader Nick Griffin said today. Griffin said the voluntary programme would be open to around 180,000 people a year who "could go back and help develop their own countries". He said the scheme would be funded from the foreign aid budget and money the government is "wasting at the moment on ridiculous climate change adaptation policies".

Griffin said that the doors would be closed to everyone because Britain was "the most overcrowded country in Europe". "If you are talking about Polish plumbers or Afghan refugees, the doors are going to be shut because Britain is full," the BNP leader said.

Griffin, who claimed he would rather be about the economy "like the other leaders", but was "very pleased" to talk about immigration, continued: "The door is shut to any significant numbers whatsoever, from anywhere. It's open where it suits Britain and suits the British people. That's fair enough." He claimed "British indigenous" people would be in a minority in the country between 2050 and the end of the century.

Griffin said the BNP would be prepared to tear up international treaties in order to achieve its objectives.

Can the Eastern European immigrants sue for discrimination since it is only non-white Britons who can get the ~$75,000 per person to leave? :) At least so far the BNP is making the repatriation program voluntary. If the they were to ever take power African and Asian immigrants to the UK might wish they had taken the $75,000 offer while leaving was still voluntary.

14. Too true - though the Bloody Nasty People have been around for a while..

and have had various incarnations. When I was a child, the equivalent group was called the National Front.

2. I wish somebody would pay *me* to leave this country

Where can I get a deal like that?

[glinda]

3. here here

[SocialistLez]

4. +1

I think some people would be glad to see someone like me leave: a black lesbian socialist atheist.

[harmonicon]

5. you should come to the UK, find a nice lady to marry, and make Nick Griffin's fucking head explode

[BreweryYardRat]

25. Actually, I'd rather have you stay while giving various other sorts the boot.

Religious fundamentalists, racial supremacists, violent homophobes, etc...

[Blue_Tires]

17. That's about $76,500 USD

I will take that and leave TONIGHT...Send my boss a postcard in a month or so...

[flamingdem]

35. +1 I'd move to a tropical isle and give up cable nt

[Zynx]

6. If the BNP ever took power, I'm sure they would be happy to take it.

The UK would be done for under BNP rule. That would be the end of that nation as... anything.

[johnroshan]

7. Wait a minute..

Did I just see the offer was to "non-white" britons? Does that mean that they don't mind white immigrants staying there? W T F. I thought they were closet racists!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

19. They are racists. That is why they want only white people to live in England.

[goclark]

27. I was in England about 10 years ago

It was racially mixed,reminded me of the USA. I was shocked.
Ten years before that last visit, it looked like most of the people appeared to be from England and White.

My cousin, African American, has lived in England for 20 years.
He is married to a sweet and lovely White person that he met while there.

He will not come home, even for a visit.
He loves it there.
Their son came to visit us while he was here with his partner.
They had a great time in the US but could not wait to be back in London.

[HipChick]

33. I don't know what part you visited...

but from about 1950's and 1960's there was a lot of immigration from Carribean and India...today there are second and third generation bi-racial children who just consider themselves British..mixed-race couples don't even turn heads..race is an after thought..

[No Elephants]

29. Maybe "closet" was the operative word.

[aquart]

8. Sounds so simple....

How will the country of origin be determined? DNA? The Brits have been fucking like bunnies since way back even before the beginnings of empire.

How will the money be paid? Cash up front? I wouldn't even book a reservation until I saw my balance all swollen. But then, what if I don't go?

Oh, and here's my favorite question: Is he counting us Jews as white, or non-white? If he's counting us as non-white, that takes care of the Eastern European question because there will be some hefty conversions, let me tell you. And don't think I'm saying Romanians will do anything to make a buck, but Microsoft Office for $2? Please.

9. Ack! You gotta click thru & check this dude out. He definitely has family here.

Get him outta that suit and he's your run of the mill teabagger.

And to read his comments - wow! I have to say, I can't imagine too many actual pols here getting away with that stuff.

Wonder what he thinks of Americans? That would be funny to read.

:crazy:

[pampango]

11. " Wonder what he thinks of Americans?" - I found that 184,000 Americans migrated to the UK last

year. We are the #8 source of immigrants to the UK.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2010/apr/29/eastern-european-immigration-uk-general-election

As far as Griffin's attitude towards Americans, it depends on which Americans you're talking about. Let's just say that he is not offering to pay white Americans (or Poles #2, Irish #4, Germans #5, French #12, or Australians #13) $75,000 to go home.

On a personal note, I'm thinking immigrating to the UK with my wife who is from the Philippines originally. Might be a good investment if the BNP will pay her $75,000 to leave, even if I have to leave for free. ;)

13. I was an expat in Britain for 6 mos (London based) - loved it!

This guy is definitely a fringe character & not at all representative.

Go and have a fantastic experience.

[T_i_B]

10. Either that or they'll just kick their heads in.

Actually the "kicking heads in" option is much, much more likely.

[struggle4progress]

12. Costs only £9 000 000 000 annually to give 180 000 folk £50 000

Why not just give everybody in the UK a £150 annual allowance to buy rotten eggs and ripe tomatos to hurl at the Nats?

[LeftishBrit]

15. I think your idea is the best one!

[LeftishBrit]

16. I'm glad to say that there are people fighting to prevent the BNP having any taste of power

23. "We shall fight them on the beaches"

And I don't mean fight entirely figuratively either. We still have memorials up here for the Battle of Cable Street.

18. I think birth control classes would be more successful.

By why not just let it go as far as we can take it? When a virus kills billions of us in less than a year, we'll know we went too far.

[smoogatz]

20. I'll take it!

Of course I'm white and American, but these people sound so stupid you never know--they might go for it.

[EFerrari]

26. Maybe they'll pay us to stay out of the country.

:rofl:

[HipChick]

21. Aww...plz..they have been offering to do this since the days of Enoch Powell..

laughable then and laughable now..

[Prophet 451]

22. Par for the course

The BNP are our extreme-right party. They're outright fascists. I don't want to say "nazis" but... Actually, I really do want to say that.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

24. The BNP are thugs

creatures

[That Is Quite Enough]

28. Heeeellloooo, Norsefire

[No Elephants]

30. Maybe the Teabaggers should consider moving to the UK.

[LeftishBrit]

32. No thanks!

We have quite enough right-wingers here already.

[petronius]

31. I'm from the US so I can't help them that way, but for a mere $5000

I'd be willing to visit Britain and walk around being white and stuff. They'd have to overlook my funny talking, however...

[Crowman1979]

34. LOL More proof how the BNP are a bunch of racist Loonies!

Just vote Liberal-Democrat, Green, Official Monster Raving Loon Party, Respect or even None of the Above.

[Arkana]

36. The BNP's just like the Republican Party now.
