Official Nicky G on QT thread...

Some comments from Bob Bailey

"Yeah because every second house is an African, I'm not racist, I've got loads of coloured friends but when every second house is African, they're moving in, got two cars, bought houses, what can you say? We got nothing."

"The indigenous people have been stripped of their freedoms and rights, like a right to a job,"

What we have got here isn't a community. It's this group and that group. People move in, they're transient with their five passports. Nigerians. Congolese, Polish, Lithuanian, lots of Russians."

"They can be civically British, with a passport, but they're not ethnically British. Let's face it, it's the look-test,"

What a gimp. I think he is missing the point, that if the work ethic that many immigrants display was adopted by the feckless, arrogant native workers in this country, a lot of this country's problems would be eased.

Griffo is far from stupid though. I can't imagine he will be overly forthcoming and let slip fragile comments like those above. The publicity from this debacle has served the BNP well enough already, and he may want to preserve that by softening the sharp bile covered edges of his policies. I just hope that the other panellists remain calm and do themselves justice.
