BIGOT
VS. BIGOT

Bad news continues to wash up onto the shores of the British National Party’s tiny little island of relevance. Not a week after the U.K.’s Equality and Human Rights Commission threatened the BNP with action for failing to comply with the Race Relations Act in its membership rules, party leader Nick Griffin has had to admit failure in his attempts to unify the European far-right into a new European Parliament bloc because the weaselly bigots from foreign lands feared affiliation with the two BNP European Parliament members would make them look bad.

Griffin has been trying to rally troops from the likes of Hungary’s Jobbik party, France’s Front National, Italy’s Lega Nord and Bulgaria’s Ataka with hopes they could speak in one voice about the importance of everyone sticking with their own kind. With so many bigotries to choose from, however, a common ground was impossible to find and several parties were unimpressed with the sort of toothless company the BNP tends to keep.

“We have failed to form a formal group,” Griffin admitted. “It’s disappointing, but not surprising.”
