Gay Tales of the British Far Right

Nick Griffin, chairman of the extreme right wing whites-only British National Party, has confirmed that when he was 16 he was propositioned for gay sex by Martin Webster, who was then one of the leaders of the extreme far-right National Front.   Griffin has denied the long-running sexual affair alleged by Webster, pointing out that if true then “we could put him [Webster] on the paedophile register.”  Still, memories of 30 years ago seem to haunt Griffin, who says, “I don’t hate gay people at all.  But I find the sight of grown men kissing in the street repulsive.”  The BNP has dropped its former position that homosexuality should be outlawed.

Webster was drummed out of the NF in 1983, partly due to rumours of his homosexuality.

Major protests erupted earlier this week when Griffin appeared on the BBC show Question Time.
