AND FINALLY

BNP leader Nick Griffin has taken some well-earned flack recently in the mainstream press, who have been busy re-publicising his “Hitler went a bit far” quote – which, as incredulous understatements go, is up there with ‘the black death was a bit inconvenient’ or ‘the Hiroshima bomb was a bit of a bang’...

The BNP themselves are in indignant fury – and rushed out a press release (don’t worry, we only read them so that you don’t have to. Honest), to deny such outrageous slurs on their Fuhrer. 

Referring to the quote, they thundered: “This is an outrageous falsehood. Chairman Nick Griffin never said anything remotely like this - it is a compete lie.”.

Panicking that hardcore supporters may indeed be outraged at such weedy assertions from their supreme leader, they make no reference to what the Grifter’s actual views about Hitler’s trifling failures may or may not have been. But they certainly leave plenty of room for Nazi Nick supporters to assume that what he actually meant was “Hitler didn’t go nearly far enough... just wait ‘til we get in power! Seig Heil! ”
