populist and paranoid

There's a fascinating interview with BNP leader Nick Griffin in today's Times.
The party hopes to win dozens more council seats in next month's local elections, using their special brand of populist, paranoia-filled and simplistic rhetoric.
In their strange little world there are no grey areas in life - everything, absolutely everything, comes down to race, culture and religion.
Immigrants should be paid six-figure sums to persuade them to leave the UK, no foreign staff could work for the NHS, drug dealers should be hanged and the birch reintroduced.
Hmmm. Not exactly progressive then - or workable.
BNP Britain sounds like the stuff of nightmares - a monoculture where narrow-minded social misfits rule the day and there's no freedom for anyone.
The loonies would have really taken over the asylum if these people ever got in power.

It's worth reading in full but here are some extracts:

He is a man who has called Britain a “multi-racial hellhole”, Islam a “wicked, vicious faith”, British Muslims “the most appalling, insufferable people to have to live with”, overt homosexuality “repulsive” and the Holocaust “the hoax of the 20th century”. He has declared that “nonwhites have no place here at all and [we] will not rest until every last one has left our land”.

He would create civilian anti-crime patrols. Anyone who has done National Service would be allowed to keep guns to shoot burglars, and as “a last resort against a tyrannical government”. He would restore hanging for the worst murderers, paedophiles, rapists and drug-dealers, and bring back the birch.

He warms to the theme, claiming that some Muslims deliberately use heroin — “Paki poison” — to undermine nonMuslim communities around them. “It’s narco-terrorism.”
