Buckingham Palace bars BNP leader Nick Griffin from Queen's garden party

By Nicola Boden
22nd July 2010
BNP leader Nick Griffin was barred from a Buckingham Palace garden party at the last minute today after crowing about his invite.
The far-Right politician had been invited to the event, hosted by the Queen, this afternoon in his capacity as MEP and was due to go with his wife.

But the invitation was withdrawn at the 11th hour after he gave a television interview and published a message on his party's website about the occasion.

In the blog, he gloated about having 'tea with the Queen' and called his attendance a 'highly symbolic breakthrough' for the BNP.

The Palace were furious, accusing him of 'blatantly' politicising the event, and said he was no longer welcome.

A Palace spokesman said his actions had increased the security risk as well as the possible 'discomfort' of others invited along.

His office was told he could no longer come to the event, where the Queen, Duke of York and Duke of Kent will mingle with thousands of guests.
Mr Griffin had clearly already been dressed for the party when he found out he could no longer go because he appeared on live TV in a morning suit, cravat and waistcoat.
A Palace spokesman said: 'Nick Griffin MEP will be denied entry to today's garden party at Buckingham Palace due to the fact he has overtly used his personal invitation for party political purposes through the media.

'This in turn has increased the security threat and the potential discomfort to the many other guests also attending.

'Mr Griffin's personal invitation was issued to him as an elected member of the European Parliament.
'The decision to deny him entry is not intended to show any disrespect to the democratic process by which the invitation was issued.

'However, we would apply the same rules to anyone who would try to blatantly politicise their attendance in this way.'

BNP member Andrew Brons was still allowed to attend because he had not 'exploited' the party for political ends.
Mr Griffin described the decision as 'an outrage' and 'thoroughly anti-British'.
The BNP leader said: 'This is quite amazing news. At no time was I informed that I wasn't allowed to talk to the media about this. Other people have talked about attending. Why a double standard here? To say that one person in the country cannot speak to the media is an outrage.'
Asked if he still intended to go to the palace, Mr Griffin initially said: 'I don't know.'
But he then added: 'I'm not about to try and gatecrash the party, that is for sure.'
Mr Griffin said he did not 'blame the Queen' and claimed Buckingham Palace was under 'enormous pressure from the Lib Con coalition' to withdraw his invite.
He maintained he had a mandate from a million British people and had a right to attend.

The BNP leader added: 'I am held to a different standard to everyone else in the country - that is thoroughly anti-British.'

Mr Griffin was automatically eligible for a ticket as an elected member of the European parliament.
He was invited last year as a guest of BNP colleague Richard Barnbrook but pulled out after an outcry, insisting he had 'no wish to embarrass the Queen'.

Before the storm: The politician leaving the GMTV studios this morning
He had defended himself this morning against accusations that his plan to go along this year was a 'political stunt'.

He insisted it was 'totally different' to 2009 because he had been invited in his own right.

ON GMTV, BEFORE THE BAN:

'The Palace have made it very, very clear that they will not discriminate against any elected MEP and I think that's the proper thing to do, so there's no embarrassment there at all.'
ON BEING BARRED:

'This is quite amazing news. ... Other people have talked about attending. Why a double standard here? To say that one person in the country cannot speak to the media is an outrage'
'The Palace have made it very, very clear that they will not discriminate against any elected MEP and I think that's the proper thing to do, so there's no embarrassment there at all,' he said.
Mr Griffin dismissed criticism by London Mayor Boris Johnson that he was turning a happy event for many into a political stunt as 'alarmist and stupid and juvenile'.
'If it wasn't for comments like that no one would even notice that I was going,' he claimed.
Writing on the BNP website, Mr Griffin had said: 'This event shows just how far this party has come in the last few years.'
He asked party members and supporters what he should ask if 'due to some ghastly blunder by a courtier', he actually met the Queen.

'Be reasonable now, I have no intention of taking up residence in the Tower!,' he joked

Where do you suppose they came up with the people whose job it was to behead another person ? I'd think you'd have to be more than a little fucked up to be able to do that.
from what i have read, it was generational. if your father was a headsman, you learned on the job from him. it was an honorable profession. probably paid decently.
you want one that's skilled, if they were inexperienced or clumsy, it took more than one whack, pretty messy.
it took a few chops for Mary Queen of Scots, probably quite painful.
Henry Vlll's Queen Anne Boleyn had the courtesy of an expert French swordsman brought over for the occasion.

God

Jeezuz Fuck, We Brits gave you United States of America -
We musta sent a bunch of dumb fucks over on The Mayflower...

Those unfortunate enough to lose their head over affairs of the State
had the privilege of paying the executioner so that he would do a quick job.

It was one of Old Henry's wives who said to her killer..."Sir, Did I not pay you enough?"
I believe she was the one in which it took 6 swings of the old rusty chopper...

Talk about being thick-skinned!

And, yes, jobs were handed down father-to-son hence the establishment of surnames.

Pre-Election according the polls, UKIP was the 4th Party of the Country. Along with them you have The English Democrats and The Green Party who Individually had higher polling numbers than the BNP. UKIP certainly have a far larger electorate.
Pre-Election, the Over-All opinion was that UKIP would beat the BNP and see members of Parliment returned but failed to even hold on to their deposits In most Constituancys... In plain English, It was a humiliating defeat for them.
The BNP have always been considered a Fringe Party or Stealth Party but the election results did put them 4th In the Country.
