— The best cure for Anglosphere idiocy is data, so here’s some on the British National Party, the UK’s equivalent of Le Pen’s French National Party. At least one BNP candidate for parliament did as well as Le Pen in recent elections, accoriding to the BBC News:
Mr Griffin, a Cambridge law graduate, is pictured on the BNP website in a family shot with his wife and four children. However, no mention is made of the fact that he too has been convicted of inciting racial hatred.
At the general election in June, he stood for the seat of Oldham West and Royton, where weeks earlier racial tension had led to rioting, and won 16.4% of the vote.
The alienated right-wing fringe is all over Europe, not just on the Continent.
