Nick Griffin Criticised for Haiti Earthquake Remarks

[Witta]

Claims by BNP leader Nick Griffin that the UK winter will cause as many deaths as the Haiti earthquake have been condemned by the leader of Labour MEPs.

Mr Griffin's original postings, on Facebook and Twitter, said: "While the Haiti earthquake is terrible, the winter death toll in Britain will be similar. No aid here though."

Ms Willmott, Labour MEP for the East Midlands, said: "Yes, people will die here this winter, even though the Labour government set up a welfare state that spends billions to help prevent too many deaths."

Mr Griffin, MEP for North West England, responded with another Twitter post, saying: "Individuals should give whatever they feel appropriate, but Britain is bankrupt. Fifty thousands pensioners will die... of cold this winter. "Boys get blown to bits because we can't afford to armour their Land Rovers.... Sending aid to rioting ingrates while our own people die is stinking elite hypocrisy."

Asked about Mr Griffin's comments, BNP deputy leader Simon Darby criticised the government's £6m contribution to the aid effort in Haiti. He said: "I'd rather see that £6m that we spent keeping our own people alive. You look after your own first."If they've got surplus money to give away to Haiti - how many people have died because we didn't have the infrastructure to grit the roads?"

Absolutely right, Mr. Griffin! You look after your own kind first, or is that "racist" as well now??? We used to live by the proverb that "charity begins at home" but this is sneered at by the modern-day Marxists.

It isn't just Haiti either. The whole overseas aid programme is a constant drain on our (supposely limited) resources and giving India £1 billion a year is just plain ridiculous - they used the last lot to launch a satellite-carrying rocket, for f***'s sake!!

But the truly scandalous part is that we can never seem to afford basic necessities for our own folk (pensioners in particular!) which would only amount to a small percentage of what we give away to foreigners.

And all this at a time of deep recession and a spiralling national debt. There has to be something seriously wrong with our accounting system ... or is it sabotage?

Haiti's problems can't be solved by giving them money. We have tried that for decades it doesn't work with black countries.

I just don't understand why money is sent to places like Haiti while we need the money for ourselves. It only makes sense to solve our own problems before throwing money into a lost cause that isn't even our own.

That saying is only for when whites criticize others, not for when we're expected to heap aid on others. THEN we're expected to involve ourselves.
