With the disappointment of yesterday's result and having had time to reflect, all people who backed Brons must be wondering "what now?"
I see Griffin says he had before the election, promised to offer the hand of friendship to those who opposed him, expecting an easy win instead of just scraping in.
He says those who remain disaffected and trouble causers will be cast aside as there is much work to be done.
Does that mean anyone who questions his already failed tactics will be expelled? If so he is reminiscent of a modern day Stalin who does not tolerate different opinions.
He talks of building power. That is the trouble. We have under his leadership lost power and influence as has been written about in the national press.
IT HAPPENED ON HIS WATCH!
He is campaigning for a referendum on EU membership. Most people want that so how are we different?
"Bring our boys Home". Most people are against foreign wars so that campaign does not differentiate us. BTW when are the next 10,000 petitions to be handed in which were too bulky to carry at the last publicised meeting?
No I do not think he is offering the hand of friendship. He is resuming his role as a dictator especially when he threatens doubters with exclusion.
He is an intelligent man and must realise his most effective and intelligent comrades have deserted him, thus his sabre rattling.
For all his talk he is a wounded beast.
Today I have heard of many in our group who are throwing the towel in and leaving the party or at least activism and I am sure this will be replicated across the country.
To quote "a week in politics is a long time" and I would concur with John Bean (a true nationalist if ever there was one) who advises members in a letter to "BNP Ideas" to give it another three months before making any decision.
There are many problems facing the present leadership and we don't as yet know the outcome.
I shall continue my blog, criticising or praising as I see fit as is my democratic right.
I SHALL ALWAYS REMAIN A NATIONALIST who is in it for my country, to give to the cause, not to take.
If by my independence I cause sanctions to be instigated against me I shall continue with my blog to snap at the heels of those who in my opinion are letting our cause down by incompetence or financial chicanery as I am sure will others.
I had hoped for a more emollient piece from our leader and a sign that he really wanted unity.
Reading his first article it seems he has not learned the lesson of his near defeat, and he risks losing a large part of the now reduced membership over which he has presided.
FOR THE SAKE OF THE PARTY AND THE NATIONALIST CAUSE, he must be more accomodating and realise that the election has shown that--
HE IS NOT THE PARTY.
