The recent Tweedledee Tweedledum TV debate between the leaders of the three old-gang parties ignored every single issue vital to Britain’s future, including the EU, multiculturalism and the erosion of British identity through mass immigration, said British National Party leader Nick Griffin.
Reacting to the debate, which drew only slightly more TV viewers than the BNP’s appearance on Question Time, Mr Griffin said all three participants went out of their way to avoid discussing any of the real issues.
“Although the very first question was on immigration, all the public was given was more meaningless platitudes about points-based systems and yet more immigration,” Mr Griffin said.
“No one discussed the figures, which show that given current immigration levels and birth rates, British people are destined to become a minority in Britain within the next 50 years, and most likely within 30,” he said.
“Furthermore, although they talked about non-EU immigration, the reality is that if you are a British builder looking for a job, the real problem is EU immigration.
“The Tweedledee, Tweedledum and Tweedledummer leaders simply ignored the burning issue of EU immigration completely. I can quite imagine what vast swathes of the population think about that,” Mr Griffin said.
“Actually, there was no serious discussion about the EU at all, which is not surprising since all three of them have exactly the same policy on the topic.
“For example, the question of who decides on British immigration and economic policy was not discussed, despite the new EU constitution usurping much of our Parliament’s jurisdiction in those matters. It was farcical to see Brown, Cameron and Clegg ignore the elephant in the room.”
Mr Griffin also pointed out that Mr Clegg, widely touted as the “winner” of the debate, in fact had presented no policies at all.
“All he did was say what his party would not do, given the budget squeeze,” Mr Griffin said.
“It is an indication of the political shallowness of all three of those parties that someone can be adjudicated as the winner simply for saying what he will not do.”
* Mr Griffin also questioned the impartiality of debate hosts ITV.
“It was noticed that one of the questioners was the same person who took part in the Question Time show upon which I featured,” he said.
The rules for the TV debate included a stipulation that the audience was supposed to come from within a 30-mile radius of the host city. In last night’s case, this was Manchester.
However, a 17-year old, Joel Weiner, who attends the Jewish Free School in Brent, North London, appeared on last night’s show — as he did during Mr Griffin’s appearance in the BBC’s West London studios.
“At the time, Mr Wiener told the media that the BBC had approached him to take part in Question Time, not the other way round.
“Now suddenly he pops up again in Manchester, 200 miles away. It is clear that the TV station owners manage audiences to suit their political agendas,” Mr Griffin said.
