“UKIP rejects BNP electoral offer”

By | Mon 3rd November 2008 - 10:36 pm

So says a news headline on the BBC.

 

UKIP says it has “unanimously rejected” an offer from the British National Party for an electoral pact at next year’s European elections.

It says ex-tennis star Buster Mottram, a UKIP member who claimed to represent the BNP, made the “astonishing offer” at a meeting in London on Monday.

Under the deal the BNP would fight seats in the north while UKIP would focus on the south in the elections.

The BNP said a deal made sense. UKIP says it would not work with the BNP.

    The deal between BNP and UKIP was the right thing to do. However, this was scuppered by UKIP arrogance. They will get trounced in the Euro Elections. As for IQ and voting, it is easy to be smug with Liberal values and high IQ when you adopt your own apartheid by virtue of intellect and income. Oh I am sorry, all white liberals live in Haringey, Handsworth, Brixton, Southall, Aldgate etc

    I lived just outside Preson whilst growing up. What amuses me about UKIP’s “unanimous rejection” of the offer is that they also threw two members of their NEC out of the party at the same meeting. One wonders if it was unanimous before or after that!
