BNP signs its first non-white member...

... but he's only joined because he hates Muslims

An elderly Sikh who describes Islam as a "beast" and once provided a character reference for Nick Griffin during his racial hatred trial is set to become the British National Party's first non-white member.

Rajinder Singh, an anti-Islam activist in his late seventies who blames Muslims for the death of his father during the Partition of India in 1947, has been sympathetic towards Britain's far-right party for much of the past decade even though he currently remains barred from becoming a member because of the colour of his skin.

Now satire really is dead.

1. Oh my, you can feel the warmth towards the new member

A BNP spokesman said last night: "He is perhaps the kind of immigrant you want if you are going to have them."

2. Reminds me of Churchills description of an appeaser.

Someone who feeds the crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.

3. That ...

is an extreme example of how 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend' is not generally a correct statement!

Just because both Mr. Singh and the BNP are Islamophobic doesn't mean that the BNP is going to love Mr. Singh.

4. Maybe he wants to repatriated first class.

Jan Moir got the prize of bigot of the year from Stonewall, this idiot deserves a similar prize from Searchlight.

Religion again. A key cause of bigotry.
