The British National Party considers itself to be a champion of the indigenous peoples of the British Isles. Its policies are based upon racial separation. Over recent years the party has tried to position itself to take advantage from a rising tide of anti-Islamic sentiment in Britain.

This culminated in the trial of its leader Nick Griffin on suspicion of incitement to racial hatred. The basis for the prosecution was a speech given by Nick Griffin in 2004 in which he was recorded as saying that Islam was a “…wicked and vicious faith”.

Now Nick Eriksen an organiser of the BNP in London and prospective London Assembly member has been exposed as an author of a extremely misogynistic right-wing weblog:

“A senior BNP leader with a strong chance of winning a seat in the London Assembly next month has written that rape is a “myth” and that “some women are like gongs – they need to be struck regularly.”

The Standard can reveal that Nick Eriksen, the BNP’s London organiser and the second-highest candidate on its list for the Assembly, is the author of “Sir John Bull,” a notorious far-Right blog which has regularly advocated hatred and abuse against women. The disclosure will be a serious blow to the BNP’s hopes of London electoral success.

On 24 August 2005, Mr Eriksen wrote: “I’ve never understood why so many men have allowed themselves to be brainwashed by the feminazi myth machine into believing that rape is such a serious crime … Rape is simply sex. Women enjoy sex, so rape cannot be such a terrible physical ordeal.

“To suggest that rape, when conducted without violence, is a serious crime is like suggesting that forcefeeding a woman chocolate cake is a heinous offence. A woman would be more inconvenienced by having her handbag snatched.

“The demonisation of rape is all part of the feminazi desire to obtain power and mastery over men. Men who go along with the rape myth are either morons or traitors.”

…Eleven of the 25 Assembly members are elected on a London-wide basis using a form of proportional representation. The BNP is likely to win at least one of these seats, for which it needs around five per cent of the vote, and has strong hopes of winning a second, for which it needs around seven to eight per cent. If the BNP does win two seats, one of them will go to Mr Eriksen and one to London party leader Richard Barnbrook…..

…Contacted by the Standard last night, Mr Eriksen admitted the blog postings were written by him, but said they were “deliberately provocative” in order to stimulate debate…..

….Mr Eriksen, a former Tory councillor and ex-civil servant at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport who lives in Richmond, says he will not resign. If he and Mr Barnbrook are elected, BNP leader Nick Griffin says the party will be invited on the BBC’s Question Time.” (Source: The Evening Standard)

Misogyny and an indigenous westerner, surely there must be some mistake here. I thought Muslims were the only misogynists on the face of the earth.

Updated: The BBC London website is now reporting that Mr. Nick Eriksen has been axed as a candidate for the London Assembly elections.

It appears that not even the BNP could stomach the embarrassment that his blog posts brought upon the party:

“The British National Party is to remove a candidate standing in the London Assembly elections – after it was discovered that he was the writer behind a blog that made disparaging comments about women and rape.” (BBC London)
