Send the Olympics home!

By Jonathan Walker on Apr 2, 08 07:17 PM in Politics

Skimming through the BNP website to check claims that the BNP has urged their supporters to pick Tory Boris Johnson as their second choice in London's Mayoral elections (it's true), I came across this gem of a policy:

"Offer the Olympics to Greece. The BNP opposed the Olympic bid four years ago. We said it would be inordinately expensive and a logistical nightmare and we have been proved right, as usual.

"Furthermore, the BNP is the party of heritage and tradition - not only for Britain but for all countries. The Olympics are part of Greece's heritage and we therefore believe they should be held there permanently. We will therefore offer the 2012 Olympics to Athens."

Poor Boris.

Second preference votes are likely to decide who is Mayor of London. Like it or not the BNP will deliver these. A lot of Tories are going to give their first or second votes to Barnbrook also.
