David M,
De Telegraaf reported the Griffin/Duke/Vlaams Belang harmonic convergence; LGF simply happened to link it. Do you trust De Telegraaf as a legitimate news source?
Nick Griffin himself made the comments quoted in the video linked in the second LGF post. He clearly established racial purity as an ideal of the BNP, which should be denoted by the “saleable” word “identity” to the general public.
‘Vlaams Belang was the only Belgian party that supported Israel against Hamas.’
One might say that I supported the Fascists against the Communists in the Spanish Civil War. That doesn’t mean I have any affinity for the Fascists – I think they were the lesser evil.
Aside from Le Pen, do any of these associations call the character of VB’s Filip Dewinter (no relation to Milady DeWinter from “The Three Musketeers”) into question?
“Hanging on the wall of Dewinter’s office, where the interview takes place, is a large poster from the 1960s that reads: “Europe, free yourself!” The banner is signed by an organization of nationalist parties in Europe, including the Italian Socialist Movement (MSI), the neo-fascist party established by Mussolini’s supporters, and the German National Democratic Party (NPD), one of the most extreme far-right movements in Europe, which some say is really neo-Nazi. On the windowsill are several small flags of sister parties of Dewinter’s party: the party of Austrian Joerg Haider, the French National Front of Jean-Marie Le Pen and the German Republican Party.”
