How does the idea of an English National Party sound? Probably something Nick Griffin was wondering on Monday morning after a humiliation double whammy north of the border. The BNP had promised a national rally in Glasgow on Saturday 28th after street stalls by the party were vigorously opposed by anti-fascists. Nasty Nick had predicted an overwhelming turn out but in the end only three members of the party made it to the front-line to be confronted by over 200 assorted anti-fascists.
Of course Nick himself wasn't there, as he'd made a detour to Dalkeith to try and capitalise on a community agitation against the re-housing of a sex-offender Robert Greens. No doubt Nick thought that the BNPs “hang 'em and flog 'em” approach would go go down well. Funnily enough it didn't turn out that way as the community turned on the twenty odd BNP types and following a punch-up they were forced to leave with their tails between their legs.
