Nick Griffin in Court Today!

British National Party leader Nick Griffin is due in court today. Here’s what he had to say:

Fellow British Patriot,

"We've got the taxpayers' money, and we can do whatever we want!" That's the message we're getting from the latest actions of the Equalities Commission. Despite having been caught red-handed inciting members of its staff to make bogus complaints against the BNP, Trevor Phillips' tax-eating monster organisation is dragging us into a totally unnecessary High Court hearing.

Because the harsh winter weather forced the postponement of several meetings with our lawyers, because of the sheer complexity of our Constitutional changes, because no Race Relations expert in the country would act for us, and because it's very hard to get a hall for large numbers of people when the establishment's UAF street thugs are allowed to threaten and intimidate venue owners at will, we ended up with no choice but to postpone our Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).

Now set for 14th February, this will be just 16 days past the date by which I first agreed to use my best endeavours to have the Constitution changed in order to comply with the forthcoming Equality Act.

16 days late, when it's taken them 28 years to bring an action against us! But CEHR's ugly collection of anti-British bigots and neo-Marxist cranks are using this unavoidable delay as an excuse to drag us back into court, and to apply to screw another day's court costs out of us. So tomorrow I have to appear in the High Court in central London to explain a self-explanatory delay.

In a story clearly planted by Labour/CEHR propagandists, The Times has reported that their intention is to sling me in jail for contempt of court. So I'll turn up in the morning with my toothbrush in my pocket and we'll see if they dare.

My hunch is that even this bunch of overpaid crackpots aren't that daft, but one can never be sure. What is certain is that we have to pay a solicitor and barrister of our own to appear in order to defend against CEHR's disgraceful demand for costs which are only being incurred on account of its own bullying and unreasonableness. It's outrageous, but that's the price we have to pay to uphold our rights.

It's a price we can only pay with your help, so please give us much as you can to help. I don't mind going to prison over this if it comes to it, but I don't want to have to do so without knowing that I've got your 110% support. Thank you.
