ANGRY MOB

If you search the Daily Mail website for 'Nick Grifin' you'll get 173 results, but you will not find coverage of Nick Griffin's comments to a BBC interviewer where he stated that:

"the only measure, sooner or later, which is going to stop immigration and stop large numbers of sub-Saharan Africans dying on the way to get over here is to get very tough with those coming over.

"Frankly, they need to sink several of those boats.

"Anyone coming up with measures like that we'll support but anything which is there as a 'oh, we need to do something about it' but in the end doing something about it means bringing them into Europe' we will oppose."

In a week when the Daily Mail has made their racist stance very clear, this is just another example of their selective news coverage. It raises some questions about why they have not reported it; is it because they do not want to essentially smear or upset the BNP when their website seems to get a lot of traffic from BNP members. Or, is it because they cannot trust their readers not to fill the pages with comments praising the proposed sinking of ships carrying immigrants?

Either way, other newspapers at least covered the comments. The Daily Express covered it (with comments disabled) and they're not really the sort of newspaper that welcomes immigrants with open arms, are they?
