Shortly on the heels of the BNP demonstrating their willingness to lie in support of their long-term plan to be horrid people, party chief Nick Griffin has suggested that we ought to just start capping those immigrants. Unless you push him to be honest and say it, in which case he'll withdraw a little:
"But the only measure, sooner or later, which is going to stop immigration and stop large numbers of sub-Saharan Africans dying on the way to get over here is to get very tough with those coming over.
"Frankly, they need to sink several of those boats."
The interviewer, BBC Correspondent Shirin Wheeler, said: "I don't think the EU is in the business of murdering people at sea."
Mr Griffin replied: "I didn't say anyone should be murdered at sea - I say boats should be sunk, they can throw them a life raft and they can go back to Libya.
"But Europe has sooner or later to close its borders or its simply going to be swamped by the Third World."
This is, by the way, why I appreciate BBC interviewers, for their willingness to call people out on their bullshit. Griffin's revised "plan" would still be murder (yeah, good luck making it to either coast in your life raft). One could imagine recommending scuttling boats and deporting people, and then one might have the EU's current policy.
Apparently Nick fears having those damned immigrants even touch European soil.
