THE LEADER OF the British National Party Nick Griffin has been declared bankrupt, but he has insisted that it is a ‘good day’.
The UK’s Insolvency Register today published details of the case which was filed yesterday and will expire one year from now.
Griffin, the chairman of the controversial right-wing nationalist party and an MEP, tweeted a number of responses to the bankruptcy, saying it will not stop his involvement in politics.
In a statement issued this morning, the BNP say that the primary creditor to whom Griffin owed money was a former solicitor.
They say that Griffin had made an offer to pay a portion of the debt as part of an Individual Voluntary Arrangement but that this was been rejected by the creditor and as a result the bankruptcy order was made.

Well he’s already morally bankrupt so he might as well go for the double. Such a slappable face too
We’ll said Linda
I read somewhere that he is to produce a booklet on how to deal with debt. Is this how you become a politicion? Do it the wrong way then tell everyone else how to do it right. He’s moronic
Shane you’re moronic
Shane, he is a moron therefore what he does is moronic
Jezz right wing…..is this guy not up your street? Homophobic, racist, anti trade union …seems like your kind of guy. Fascist thug
Good man Seamus, tar everybody with the same brush
Well if the hat fits!
Just like everybody on the left is a communist
So McCarthy was right after all…..
The Senator or the football manager
Uggh what a tw@t
Go away you ignorant bigot!
A little bit of racism never hurt anyone
Not much money in being a bigoted racist tool.
Of course there is look at Britain’s government
FF will recruit him
I’m sure he could get a job in the local Rangers Supporters club in Moygashel where his fellow bigots displayed that welcoming sign this week… But sure we’re as bad as each other in the North (media pedalled myth).
ha ha, so not only are his ideas bankrupt! Ba dum dam tish
They’re not a moronic racist illiberal right wing party. They’re a moronic racist illiberal left wing party. When they’re not being racists they are into nationalisation, centralisation, protectionism and planned economics. Griffin himself describes the BNP as “the Labour Party your grandad voted for”. He’s right, too.
Emily what a load of nonsense. Why is it when right-wing nut jobs are exposed as being such you others on the right try to label them as left’s. It doesn’t even make sense, he’s an ultra nationalist, anti immigrant , pro capitalist ,fascist ,in what bizare twist of logic cab any of those things be classified as left wing. All of that is the exact antithesis of leftism
lol, ye need to see through this left right nonsense, the only measure is how much personal freedom is there and how much economic freedom, your average commie and fascist sit beside each other on the scale thats why they hate other so much they have more in common then they like to let on.
Fool Emily
Conor Berk, you’re confusing liberalism with leftism.
I have consulted my right wing hand book and indeed Emily is correct
There’s no doubt that the BNP espouses certain things that the left do (protectionism, statism, welfare programmes etc.) but it is in no way a left-wing party but rather one of the far right. It preaches racial hatred and ultranationalism, and an essentially social darwinist view of the world. It’s syndicalist in nature, and borrows from the left the aspects it thinks the white working-class base that supports the party would support, hense the cynical remark by griffin that they are ‘the labour party your grandad voted for’. This is not at all true. If Clement Attlee or old Labour comrades took one look at Griffin they’d proudly spit on him and his kind, take no notice of his triangulation.
” It preaches racial hatred and ultranationalism”
These are not right wing or left wing traits. They are authoritarian traits.
Yeah your ashamed of your right wing cousins. Fascists
I love using NO SURRENDER, I just wish it wasn’t such a loyalist phrase
Might start using it over here soon “No surrender, no surrender, no surrender to the A..I..B “
He has a closing working relationship with Loyalists and Unionism. His key fundraiser helped set up the Fleg protests.
Personally I always presumed that he was an agent for the state and that his job was to direct that style of politics in to a dead end rut. A job that he excelled at doing.
Sure if he goes to Wales like Ivan, he will be OK.
Hence the term ‘welshing’ http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=welshing
Timmy, I did not know that but we learn something new every day. Well done.
I think this mans anti war stance is not welcome in ireland.. To think he actually has more respect for Ireland’s independence than the majority of Irish people is sickening
He doesn’t want and does not support the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and wouldn’t fund terrorist organisations unlike every major party in the UK
Since he has filed for bankruptcy he now longer has debt issues, fair play to him
Poor Nick, I’d give him a quid.
Only problem is you will never get it back
I’d give him sick squid…
So which minority is he blaming for this?
What a horrible human being
Did he not like the thought of being in the black?
No surrender? No legal tender!!
have your say
