William Robey, was in Ypres visiting the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing. It was built to commemorate the thousands of British and Commonwealth soldiers who died in the Ypres Salient in 1914-17, and its walls are inscribed with the names of 54,360 men – including the 40th Pathans, an Indian infantry regiment which suffered great losses. But as "The Last Post" was about to be played, the schoolboy spotted Nick Griffin surrounded by some of his supporters.

William told The Independent: "I asked him if I could take his picture, next to the memorial for Pathan Indians. He reluctantly agreed, but as I went to take my photo I asked him, 'Isn't this against your party's policy?' One of his supporters put his hand over the lens, told me to 'get my facts straight', and grabbed my arm. I took the picture but it's very blurry.

I said to him, 'Your party's built on hatred.' He started shouting at me, pointing his finger. The rest of his lot were all laughing and smirking. I just felt a bit sick inside to see him there to be honest. There they were with their poppies on, trying to put this respectable front on, yet they're happy to confront a 13-year-old at a war memorial to try and get their point across.

You remember David Dimbleby asking Griffin why he was smirking at a mention of the gas chambers? Well here are Nazi Nick and his pals grinning and smirking at a war memorial!




Nice.


Well done William Robey.

What a brave child. Good on him.

Griffin wants to kick out the Ghurkas, he's about as loathsome as it gets with regards to the Armed Forces.

[Nathan.Boyd]

I read this as 'Nasty Nick' and wondered when the big brother contestent got henchman.


My only comment is: way to sensationalise.

[fire2burn]

Regardless of the kids comments, you don't have your henchmen grab a 13 year old by the arm simply for questioning an MEP.

[a.posteriori]

So Griffin (or his supporters) don't allow the kid to take his picture and "grabs his arm" when he tries to do so anyways?

And you're calling it an attack?

[JPaul03]

probably exaggerated by the media, but no smoke without fire.

[Ape Gone Insane]

What did the woman find so funny?

[Ewan]

Why is this considered an attack? How is it Nick "attacked" anyone, as far as I can see it was the supporter that did everything.

[.:excel4100%:.]

I rate that young schoolboy quite highly!

Nick Griffin's looking more and moe like an angry penguin.

Well done William - albeit I'd just have walked past him and punched him in the balls. If he has any.

Erm, no he DOESN'T, please don't peddle mistruths!

Question to Nick Griffin: "Would you let the Ghurka's in?"

Nick Griffin: "Yes we would. If we could swop the Ghurkas for the 100,000 muslim extremists in Britain that, in opinion polls, say they openly support the aims of Al-Qaeda, we think it would be a dammed good swap."

Caught on film, watch here from 5 minutes onwards.


The BNP were against Iraq and Afghanistan, as they don't want to see young British squaddies coming home in boxes.
It is Labour who took our country to war with insufficient equipment, and they are loathed far more by most of the British forces.

Oh well. **** happens.

Interesting then that he calls them "mercenaries"

[Rucklo]

The resemblance is striking:

[MaceyThe]

Well the fact that the BNP had bothered to travel to France for the memorial service shows they do care.

A 13 year old kid with a point to prove, trying to turn a war memorial service in to a political debate is ******* discraceful in my opinion.

The article says so itself that the schoolboy spotted and approached Nick Griffin just as "The Last Post" was about to be played.

Who's the disrespectful one?

[Byllie]

liberal, sensationalised , student nonsense. I am not a supporter of the BNP but nothing gets on my nerves more than greasy students jumping on the band-wagon.
