Left: Sneering pig farmer and fascist.
Right: An enemy of the Barking Working class
The question should also be; what does the BBC know about the working class?
Why on earth the BBC should entertain Nick Griffin as some kind of spokesman on the white working class beggars belief, but tonight Newsnight invited Griffin to comment from an earlier almost unchallenged interview,on a studio debate about polling that would suggest the WWC are dissatisfied with their lives, indeed a staggering number indicated as much Was the premise therefore that black and Asian people are happy with their own lot?
Hodge and Griffin both come from privileged backgrounds, while to anyone with two working eyes (and brain cells) can see that class and poverty are still the key issues ignored by this government. They affect the lives of people across the country, black and white, and are used by the BNP to whip up hatred between communities.
Margaret Hodge sincerely believes that a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit goes some way to curing Barking's crippling and divisive housing shortage, while Nick Griffin believes Islam is responsible for the hard drug problem in this country. He offered no proof of this, but then the BBC did not ask him to, either.
The figures of the poll among white working class communities are frighteningly depressing. It was also noticeable that the middle classes polled (presumably white?)had a slightly rosier, progressive outlook on life and their futures.
By using Griffin and Hodge as the key components in the debate the BBC in the words of Sun columnist John Gaunt attempted to "make the white working class look stupid." Both Hodge and Griffin may have actually seen working class people on their farms at some time.
RMT leader Bob Crow is to be commended for his comments(particularly about Hodge) but also about the failure of the Migrant Workers Bill which would have helped enormously in protecting workers from this country and also migrant workers who work here legally, but are underpaid.
What a disgrace the BBC, the BNP and Margaret Hodge are. Morally, politically and socially bankrupt.

What a handsome couple they make.

Nick Griffin and the BNP hate the working class. As Nick Griffin said, in his own words, people who live on housing estates are ‘scum’.
John Tyndall, the founder of the BNP and its leader before Griffin, said that inherited wealth “increases the probability that assets come into the hands of those best fitted to use them by virtue of genetic advantage”. According to the BNP the white working class, by virtue of not having inherited wealth or being in the position to inherit wealth, are genetically inferior to the upper class who inherit wealth and are hence genetically superior to the working class. This is the philosophy of the BNP.
The white working class should know about the reality of the BNP and Nick Griffin: the BNP only stands for vested economic interests that fuck the working classes and the rest of humanity. It’s not surprising to read that Nick Griffin is the son of a Tory landowner and was brought up on a Suffolk farm. He went to a private school, then to the elite Cambridge University. Like Tyndall, Griffin lives off his six-figure inheritance and has his own farm in Wales. Nick Griffin has never worked a day in his life, has many failed business ventures and rips off money from gullible BNP members. According to the BNP's national press officer, Dr Phil Edwards, we are ‘sheep’ for not voting for the BNP!
Well they could share the cost of a packet of choccy biscuits.
There are some very real and strong feelings of anger building up in Barking & Dagenham, after the other nights comments people are feeling Hodge is taking the p...s, the residents here know what the issues are and as was said on the programme by other more intelligent panalists, the issues are not about race, they are about housing, schools, and other services.
Marvellous really for the past 8 years or so Hodge has not even mentioned Barking in any of her speeches, in fact very rarely in the borough either, yet in the last few months Barking is getting a lot of mentions, for all the wrong reasons, why, because Hodge knows she is under threat, 2/3rds of the local party want to get rid of her, ordinary residents hate her and wont vote for her, so what does she do, decides any publicity is good, and goes deep and dirty.
Well it wont work missus, people in Barking & Dagenham have more intelligence than you think, you wont get their vote, BUT if the Labour Party centrally were to listen and move you on and give Barking what it needs and deserves an MP who will really work for it then and only then will Labour hold Barking. Otherwise in 2 years time the only photo there could be Griffins, and that would be a disgrace.
Just to keep you up todate on events in Biscuit land, chocolate biscuits are now banned in all public places.
A Gulliotine has been set up in the town square, the local knitting club has been booked, the hunt is on for a tumbrill as soon as that is secured.....
Madam Marie Antionette Hodge will finally get whats hers.
ps. and no crumbs on the floor.
