BNP Leader and Northwest MEP Nick Griffin
Shockwaves were sent through mainstream British politics Sunday night as the British National Party (BNP) won two seats in the European Parliament and gained significant ground in traditional, working-class areas of the country.
BNP leader Nick Griffin won a Member of European Parliament (MEP) seat in the Northwest, while 61-year- old retired lecturer Andrew Brons snatched a seat in Yorkshire and Humberside.
In his victory speech at Manchester Town Hall, Griffin said that the British public were angry about the “many ways the liberal elite have transformed this country.”
“For the last 50 years, more and more of the people of Britain have watched with concern, growing dismay and sometimes anger as an out-of-touch political elite has transformed our country before our very eyes,” he said.

The night saw a humiliating defeat for Labour, which has been engulfed in an MP expense scandal and the illogical banning of talk radio host Michael Savage from Great Britain. Labour slumped to third place behind the UK Independance Party (UKIP), whose platform includes withdrawing Britain from the European Union. The Conservative Torry party came out first with 29.9%, UKIP second with 17.2%, and Labour finished with 16.7%.
In other parts of the country, the BNP made significant gains, mostly at the expense of the embattled Labour Party, This was seen especially in traditional, working-class Labour strongholds. In Barnsley, the BNP won 16% of the vote; in Doncaster, nearly 12%; in Rotherham, 15%; and in Yorkshire, nearly 10% of the vote. In total, the BNP received 120,139 votes.
The BNP put all its efforts into the European election and ran it a national campaign, spending approximately £500,000.As a result of tonight’s election result, the party will be eligible for funding from the European Union and may form alliances with other nationalist and traditionalist parties in Europe.
Brons and Yorkshire MEP Andrew Brons
One of the big challenges the BNP faces is the overwhelmingly negative image mainstream British media has given the party. Slurs such as “neo-facist” have tarnished the BNP brand and may have caused some voters to vote UKIP out of fear of being labed a “racist.”
In his acceptance speech Sunday night, newly-elected MEP Andrew Brons explained, “The onslaught against us in this campaign has been more than against any other party in this country in recent times. Much more than it was against the Old Labour party when it really was Labour in the early 20th century, much more than even against the Communist Party during the period of the Cold War. But, somehow, we have overcome it.”
“But, despite the lies, despite money, despite the misrepresentation, we’ve managed to win through. I regard this as the first step towards the United Kingdom, the British People, getting freedom from the European Union dictatorship.”

Now if only the U.S. would follow the example…. quickly!
The proud and valiant Cross of St. George lives again! Thank God for the BNP and those parties like it all across Europe who have scored major victories. Not since Charles "the hammer" Martel was victorious at the battle of Tours has Europe had so much to be grateful for! Deus Vult!
Michael Savage linked this story on his website.
THIS IS SO ENCOURAGING. HERE'S HOPE THAT LOVERS OF FREEDOM IN GREAT BRITAIN WILL LEAD THAT COUNTRY OUT OF ITS SOCIALIST GRIP.
MEANWHILE, IN THE USA, WE SEE ALMOST DAILY SINCE "O CHANGE OH'S" REIGN BEGAN IN JAN. 2009 MORE INDICATIONS OF TYRANNY AS BANKS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ARE NATIONALIZED. DITTO FOR THE AUTO INDUSTRY. AND STATES ARE FORCED TO ACCEPT THE "STIMULUS" PACKAGE AND WITH THE ENSUING STRIPPAGE OF SOVEREIGNTY.
Good job. The same thing needs to happen here in the USA. Unfortunately-the illegal immigrant from Kenya, who fooled 55million idiots-can do so much irreversable damage before he comes up for re-election. When Obama gets a chance to change our constitution-he'll probably put a provision in there to appoint himself king for life. Looks like the UK does not want to become a muslim nation after all.
Tell the lady who put Savage on the "list"-that she was set up by the liberals here in the USA and there are people here, who will pay good money to her, if she exposes the vermin. What does she have to loose at this point! Savage is THE most powerful man in broadcasting here in the USA. She needs to expose the rat that set her up! Liberals will eat their young and screw you in a heartbeat!
I'm from the UK and Europe is definitely not a socialist haven as the media would have you believe and these European elections prove it. Geert Wilders Freedom Party, a fringe party in Holland, also mained significant gains and came 2nd there behind the centre-right leading Christian Democrats. Wilders is of course another personality like Michael Savage who has wrongfully been banned from entering the UK by Labour.
Man, these are some of the most honest, 'nail on the head' comments, especially from Ahksehl , that i've heard in a long time….If there now is hope for 'good ole England', then the US wont be too far behind….
The failure of liberalism in Europe is because it is anti liberal! It seeks to destroy those who want to keep their national heritage. It will of course be compared to the rise of Fascism in Europe in the 1930's. The same old tired hackneyed cliches will come from the Ministry of Lies. But remember why the Duce came to power: he defeated the left which sought to impose a foreign ideology on Italy and Europe. Love of one's nation is not a crime! Mohamadanists have purely theocratic states such as Parthia, Saudi Arabia, ect. The Duce wrote: the internationalists have sold out the nation, the industrialists have sold out the working man. We've seen both happen in Europe and the U.S.
Maybe there is a chance for Britain after all. This could be the beginning of Britain and Europe’s awakening from the trance of self hatred and self denigration they’ve been under. Multicuturalism has really meant nothing more than the failed cultures of the world being held up as icons of virtue,wisdom and benevolence while the successful culture of Europe has been vilified and blamed for the failures of other cultures and races. Palestinians declare their rite to a purely moslem arab state but the crazy lefties call British nationalists NAZI’s for trying to prevent Britain from being conquered by waves of anti christian, anti white hordes. They defend the racism of those who hate Europeans and call European identity and the will to survive racist. People are awakening to the game that has been played on them.
It's really just good to see real people stand up for themselves again instead of being insulted, belittled and degraded by the real fascists who are wreaking nations and enslaving and persecuting people.
Great point about how Liberals are now anti-liberal. The USA needs a BNP bad.
Kudos to Michael Savage for linking this story to his site. I've never heard Savage mention the BNP, but Savage is a great broadcaster.
Kudos to all the posters here! I'm with you! As an American this gives me hope we can retake our culture and liberty these liberal fascists are attempting to strip us of.
Already our "Tea Party" protests on April 15 has horrified the liberal fascists that has attacked it as white racism. That's their excuse for everything. Let them tell it to Marx.
Great news nut not so fast blokes, this is just a start in the right direction. Do you really value your history and traditions and culture and most of all faith and family as well as "immigrants" do? If not, it's still just a matter of time and demographics before Eurpeans are outnumbered by those who do value theirs.
It warms my heart that the UK and any other civilized peoples in europe would draw back to their own flags. Perhaps all good people can now see that the eu, the un and American leadership are uniformly depriving the people they represent of the self sufficiency a people require to feel and live secure lives. Outsourcing is bad, multiculturalism is bad, and liberalism IS mental disorder.
Keep your heads straight, Britain. We'll be following you on your tails in America. After we trash these socialists in the White House and Congress, we'll be back on our feet.
Liberalism is hypocritical by nature, they say they are for the environment while they push industry from a healthy nation that can keep better controls on toxic pollutants and force third world countries to take over industries and hurt millions of people. The liberal way of life says it is for preventing torture, while providing funds for governments to aid in abortions. Liberalism is without reason, without wisdom. Thank God for the UK seeing the light, get the liberal rot from your foundation, you will start to prosper again. God help the United States, they are suffering from a lack of wisdom forgetting the great history lessons of a failed Carter administration and government gone out of control in its spending.
Congratulations to England for getting it right. Throw out the elitist left and reassert your right to exist as a white Briton. The neo-fascist rhetoric is getting old the world over. Next item on the agenda: throw out the global-warming enthusiasts. Force them to admit reality. Fossil fuels are yummy
I'm from Britain and I hope Michael Savage reads this comment out on his radio show, as I can't listen live, I download the podcast.
The BNP really is Britain's only hope. Whilst they are not as right wing as I would like them to be concerning economics, they are the only party that will stop mass immigration, crack down on crime and soft prisons, and preserve our Christian culture. The conservatives are anything but conservatives, and the three many parties Liberal Democrats, Labour, and Conservatives have been reduced to a one word "liblabcon", similar to a "Republicrat".
Keep up the good work Michael!
Congratulations Britain on your victory for freedom! We Americans desperately need to follow your lead before our nation and culture are dismantled by the suicidal left.
Bravo to England! The liberal elite have for far-too-long ignored the basic wishes & desires of the people – a sovereign nation, freedom of speech & the right to pursue happiness w/o the government micromanaging their daily lives. Having said that, America needs a revitalized and reinvigorated Republican/Conservative Party that will once again stand for sovereignty, freedom, dignity and less government intervention/intereference.
Although I disagree vehemently with the banning of Michael Savage from entering the U.K., he will never achieve the status of his contemporaries, due to the fact he seems to be a bit of a charlatan. Check out the bottom of his website, where he promotes survivalist products, gold, brain stimulants and other hokey products. As soon as these ads disappear from his website, I might take him a little more seriously.

Bravo! Could not have said it better. We need to end the brainwashing and propaganda now.
Thanks God that there are some sane people left in UK.
The liberal rats have nothing to offer but never-ending freedom reductions and the tyranny of excessive and insane government taxing and spending addictions.
This is the best news I've heard in a long time. Will we hear any of this in the USA's major newspapers. Thank God for Michael Savage.
This is very encouraging. Michael Savage is turning out to be the Churchill of our time. How dare the liberal neo Nazis like Brown attempt to muzzle conservative true values! I thought the UK was finished! Finished! But it looks like the real British have some fight left.
Way to go conservatives! There is hope for England, Yet. We need more Michael Savages… Borders, Language, Cutlure…. God, Family, Country… Yes, maybe the US will follow the trend… God save the Queen!
Go BNP! This American Patriot salutes you. Banning Michael Savage was the last straw and shows the hateful, anti-free speech mentality of libs like Jacqui Smith. The people smoked her out like the rat she is.
Savage supporters await with delight as his lawsuit goes into the British courts, where it will be revealed which traitor in US government tapped Jacqui on the shoulder and whispered in her ear to ban our noble talk show host, a national treasure.
Go BNP, go!
The labor party and the other liberal parties of Europe have antecedents in history. They are the modern “Vortigerns”. They are the elite of a people that have been spoiled and weakened by their prosperity . When the people become too attached to their comforts they lose any higher purpose to life besides their comforts. The ruling liberal elite are the worst of this lot. They have no loyalty to family or nation. Just like the Vortigern they found an opportunity to prop up their power by selling out the future of their peoples. They sell out the future of their grandchildren even. They intimidate people away from their common senses recognition of the danger they are being put in by threatening them with labels that are really a method of thoight control. Demographics are important. ethnicity is important. The Vortigerns of Keltic Britain prospered mightily while their people were pushed out, absorbed, and or slaughtered. History shows that ethnicity trumps economics. The Anglo Saxon invaders out bred the Keltic inhabitants because they had different farming technology. The moslem invaders of Europe are outbreading Europeans because the Europeans are foolish enough to give them welfare.. In every country these immigrants come from large white European and christian minorities would not be tolerated. Historically they have been slaughtered.Common sense tells one they wont be tolerated in Europe if they ever become the minorities. In their mosques they openly declare their intentions for killing Europeans yet the Vortigerns tell the people they must accept this. Wake up Europe! Time to call the traitors traitors and the vortigerns vortigerns! Liberals are VORTIGERNS. They think their ticket to prosperity is the death of Europe! Blair was a Vortigern, Brown is a Vortigern, and in America Bush was a Vortigern and Obama is the actual Enemy, an imposter put their with saudi money. Another poster was correct, this is just a start. Time to declare loudly that history proves that a people without a land of their own don’t last long. That it is common sense not to allow another nation to move in to your borders and that a nation is defined ETHNICALLY and CULTURALLY!
This should be called the Savage Rebellion! I hope it happens here in the States as well, like, quick!
maybe there is an england anymore
About time the BNP got some seats, hopefully the parasitic paki’s who bleed the country dry will be shipped back to their mudhuts where they belong and the sooner the better.
The story on Savages website is typical of his overinflated ego.
While he should never have been on any list to be banned from entry to the UK, he had nothing to do with the Labour party and it’s downfall. The labour party did themselves in.
As for the BNP, as others have said, they are the only hope for Britain.
Savage by the way, has been conspicuous in his silence about the BNP. Maybe that will change now. After all, they have been harping on about the Islamofascist story for a long time now, just as he has.
Gabacho- I like your attitude!!!!
We all need more of what you have.
The Savage Nation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love your comments. I now know my family is not alone. My wife is a legal alien from Mexico since age ~10. I will change that soon.

Are you one of (with out offense) one of those idiotas from Santa Cruz, CA. ? King Beach?
Ernesto “Che” Guevara is what we need to correct the US political situation. We need to develop a new union perhaps to get rid od the liberlal laws and make a law that would elinate Activist Legistlon.

Stop smoking that. It smells like an infected vigina you recently visited
“I just love Mr Savage ”
you people are all obviously poorly educated, miss informed morons, who seem to think you know better than the majority of your fellow countrymen. good people who decided that your country was in great need of a change and voted accordingly.
As to the BNP you seem to love! if any of you gullible fools were to apply for a passport and venture beyond your limited vision, to my great british nation. The Skin head, doc marten wearing supporters of the BNP would happily stab a yank with their ‘hitler youth’ boot knife, just as soon as you could say “well howdy brother fascist”.
best you stay stateside and keep feeding yourself on a savage diet. its obviously what’s made you the great people you are.
Oh and don’t forget to contribute to his wonderful cause!
RJ, thanks, but I am unclear about what you are going to change? Your wife or her status? Ha Ha.
Hey Tom Lavery, why is it when one “disagrees” with the left, they are simply “uneducated”. I’m guessing you are somewhere between forty-five and sixty and beginning to realize that, yes, old hippies smell.
Who has funded al qaeda? Who has funded the madrasses? Who has bought our politicians, both British and American? Who has bought our media outlets and is using them against us? The Saudi’s, that’s who. They are carrying out a strategy that was planned when they took over the oil wells in the seventies. The west could beat islam so very easily. Saudi Arabia gets 70% of it’s fresh water from desalination plants on it’s red sea coast. Almost the total of the remainder is from deep aquifer wells since the shallower wells have all been pumped dry. In a matter of minutes SA could be eliminated. Bomb the plants and the wells and then the petrodollars wouldn’t be buying them anymore vortigerns. Their population would die within a week. And it wouldn’t be pretty. two out of very five people in SA are “foreign workers”, usually from India, Pakistan or Indonesia. These people will know they will be the first to die of thirst. They won’t go quietly. There will be killing in the streets and in the palaces. It is so easy, it could be done tomorrow. Time that with a strike to take out Iran’s nuke program and the west will have won, we ship the molsem dreck in Europe back to their hell holes. We take the oil fields that we built and China can kiss our a$$. The fact that our leaders aren’t even talking this way is proof that they are vortigerns, enemy agents. The military in Britain and the US should be arresting all of them and putting that plan into action.
AMEN AHKSEHL
My dream is that the military will put Obama under house arrest until he can produce an original birth certificate, arrest Hilary Clinton for being an agent of a foreign government (Saudi Arabia) along with Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Bush I, Bush II, Hussein Obama; and arrest Dick Cheney for being a war profiteer. They are all criminals – every politician on the payroll of the Saudis in Congress, too.
Well Laura Wesselmann, unsurprisingly you guessed wrong, neither my age or my political affiliations are of any relevance here nor, in fact, should they be of any interest to you. My first and last vote was cast at the beginning of this century. I love my country. Politicians (and shock jocks) love themselves .
I am a patriot who does not support “smelly hippies” as you so maturely put it ( I found it best to leave such language in the school yard) neither do i support the sort of extreme right garbage that your country would like to export. It is a great thing that Mr Savage and other social misfits, extremists , terrorists, paedophiles etc are banned from entering Great Britain.
So where does that leave you politically, Laura Wesselmann?
Sorry,Tom you seem stuck in the 1980′s there are Red thugs in UAF the BNP have changed .for example they have Jewish members & even at least one Jewish councillor.I get fed up with this commie rubbish whatever your age.
You can not defeat us as BNP, we are to clever, 1 we are not nazis2, we are not fasicists
3 we are not even racists, we are soomthing ,far older and sly and cunning , and humane.Let me explain, MATHS is the only truth, yes we are ras–ic, IC in engish means the law of numbers rules all things, their is no equal to it . it is how you rule 2/3 0f earth.
