As debate is currently raging throughout the Christian world online, regarding the recent appearance on the BBC Question Time show of Nick Griffin from the BNP, I have decided to collate a few Internet links that have been guiding the debates for your info:-
Let’s ignore the BNP
Don’t Leave It to the BNP to Stand Up for Britain – The British National Party offers little more than Holocaust denial and far-left economic policies that would ruin the UK.
British National Party Gains Further After BBC’s Question Time Fiasco – Nick Griffin looks comparably good to British voters after the BBC stages an attempt to humiliate him and a mob storms the studio.
A few days after Question Time, public opinion has changed. This was a heresy trial
One in five would consider voting for the BNP?
He wants the day to come sooner. When we settle the score – This link (25/10) is particularly damaging to the BNP in terms of them denying their anti-Semitic leanings…
Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey has called on Christians to “stand shoulder to shoulder” in rejecting the British National Party and its leader Nick Griffin, who he branded a “squalid racist”.
Carey rejects BNP Christian claim
WHY “QUESTION TIME” FAILED TO DESTROY THE BNP
Peter Hain says his fears have been proved right after a poll suggested support for the BNP has risen after Nick Griffin appeared on Question Time.
Labour wanted mass immigration to make UK more multicultural, says former adviser – Labour threw open Britain’s borders to mass immigration to help socially engineer a “truly multicultural” country, a former Government adviser has revealed.
One in five ‘would consider voting BNP’ after Nick Griffin Question Time appearance – More than a fifth of the public would consider voting for the British National Party, according to the first opinion poll taken since the appearance of its leader, Nick Griffin, on Question Time.
Opinion poll: more than half of British voters think the BNP ‘has a point’
The frenzy over the participation of BNP leader Nick Griffin on Question Time this week has been a classic case of failing to identify the real elephant in the room.
As the dust settles over the Question Time BNP appearance, one thing is certain – the programme’s editors broadcast an atypical programme that was designed to attack Nick Griffin rather than explore (as it usually does) the issues of the day.
Churches need new approach to fight BNP effectively
Why the churches should listen to what Nick Griffin said on Question Time
The British National Party does not speak for British Christians, says Evangelical Alliance
Birmingham churches unite in opposition to BNP’s ‘Christian Britain’ claim
David Duke: Griffin was ‘transparently dishonest’ on Question Time
The BNP legal director’s national socialist vision
So how did it go for Griffin?
The Day After the Night Before
Can secular society cope intellectually? – Two recent newspaper articles raise the interesting question of whether modern secularism can really cope with intellectual challenges.
A flawed philosophy that bolsters the BNP – The chatter of the chattering classes fades to a whisper whenever cultural difference comes up. That’s why extremists flourish
Why sacrifice free speech to swat a gnat? – In the face of a rag-tag party with a dishcloth of a manifesto, we flinched — yes, flinched — in our commitment to liberty
According to reports, Communities Secretary John Denham has been calling on faith groups to nail the lie that the BNP is a “Christian party”
Are one in five really considering voting for the BNP? If so, and Nick’s appearance on QT was the catalyst, some thoughts belatedly occurred to me.
BNP Reaps 9,000 New Enquiries
‘In the Circumstances Nick Was Brilliant’
The former Archbishop of Canterbury says that the BNP must not be allowed to hijack Christianity.
Britain’s New Star on the Far, Far Right – A media circus starring the Holocaust-denying, openly racist leader of an openly racist party.
I’ll add more as they become available.

I have been a member of the Church of England for over 66 years and find recently the hierarchy have completely change for the worst and moved away from the people
They have insulted the excellent work the churches have done in the past for the poor sick and un-educated
They have propelled themselves to highest positions and like their political friends believe they have the divine right to rule
I am and activist in the BNP but my Christian views take paramount in my life even above my own family
But being a BNP member I am ostracised by my church, which doesn’t bother me one iota, for I believe my church has now been taken over by conceited bigots
I believe if my Jesus came across people against his liking he would have confronted them into dialogue not into condemning them from the pulpit
So till England gets new tolerant church leaders these intolerant people will drive the very last few worshipers away from the pews

Mr Beatson,
Had ‘your Jesus’ have been alive in Nazi Germany he would have been gassed, and the leader of your party would deny it ever happened.
No person can claim to have Christian views – thereby claiming to follow a man who as a child was reportedly an asylum seeker for a time (Matthew 2:13-23) – and then at the same time support a political party that wants to completely bar all asylum seekers from Britain. If Nick Griffin ran Egypt in Jesus’s time, Jesus would have been sent back to be slaughtered by Herod.

My father fought in WW1 from the age of 14 – 19 years old of his brothers was awarded the M.M.
I had two brothers who served in WW2 my eldest brother went to Africa in 1939 and never returned home for 6 years, my other brother fought in the jungle of the Dutch East Indies with the Royal Marines
So many of my family fought in both war and some never came back home
I personally worked on Sheffield’s hospitals schools roads homes after the blitz but I am called a racist by some one who has never bent their back or help build any thing in their whole life
This isn’t the immigration if the Windrush days these immigrants are here to rip us off because I live amongst them
We are governed by proven liars cheats and embezzlers who is sending my country towards the third world and only we in the BNP stand in their way
So if that is racism to you then I am proud to be a racist, and don’t forget Herod was corrupt just like those in Westminster

Was Jesus alive the same time as Herod ???????
The Gospels date the birth of Jesus 10 years apart.
Matthew states that Jesus was born when Herod was still alive, no later than 3 or 4 BC.
Luke states that Jesus was born when Cyrenius was governor of Syria, which did not take place until at least ten years after Herod’s death.
Nick Griffin would never send Jesus to be slaughtered perhaps the Archbishop of York & Canterbury LOL
