Current stance

I have added a {{fact}} tag to the quote This party has finally cast off the leg iron of anti-Semitism and not a moment too soon because I was unable to find a source for it. However, I did find this same quote here on The Kvetcher, a site highly unlikely to be sympathetic to anti-semitism, and which claims that ...antisemitism isn’t the BNP’s focus, so it would seem the quote is legitimate. We just need a source for it. --Unconventional (talk) 16:01, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the Jewish Chronicle considers them to be vehement supporters of Israel, who have a reord, especially in Gaza, which the BNP evidently envy. Perhaps the Board of Deputies should consider this and its implications.--Streona (talk) 10:00, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I'm about to show my ignorance. The Jewish Chronicle considers whom to be vehement supporters of Israel? A record...the BNP evidently envy why? The Board of Deputies of what organization should consider this and its implications for what? Is the relevance to the putative Griffin quote needing sourcing, or the reliability of The Kvetcher, or are you just making a general comment? Sorry to be so dense. --Unconventional (talk) 20:46, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify some points for Unconventional: That's the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the main representative body of Jews in Britain. Kvetcher is not reliable; it's a blog site. Emeraude (talk) 11:12, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The source for the quote is ambiguous. The same quote appears in the BNP article and is sourced to here. However, this shows the wording to actually be "The BNP has moved on in recent years, casting off the leg-irons of conspiracy theories and the thinly veiled anti-Semitism which has held this party back for two decades." It is not directly attributed to Griffin, but to the 'BNP news team'. So we are now in a situation where there is no evidence for Griffin having said anything of the sort.

Sounds to me like it's too unreliable to keep 144.32.126.16 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:27, 25 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Convictions

{{editsemiprotected}} Can someone add info about his criminal convictions to this as it's locked? -- Anonymous guy

You'll need to be much more specific about what you want adding. You'll also need to cite source(s) to verify it. Cheers, Martin^msgj 16:50, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
