Women more troubled by bag theft than ****

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standa...ims/article.do

A senior BNP leader with a strong chance of winning a seat in the London Assembly next month has written that **** is a "myth" and that "some women are like gongs - they need to be struck regularly."

The Standard can reveal that Nick Eriksen, the BNP's London organiser and the second-highest candidate on its list for the Assembly, is the author of "Sir John Bull," a notorious far-Right blog which has regularly advocated hatred and abuse against women. The disclosure will be a serious blow to the BNP's hopes of London electoral success.

On 24 August 2005, Mr Eriksen wrote: "I've never understood why so many men have allowed themselves to be brainwashed by the feminazi myth machine into believing that **** is such a serious crime ... **** is simply sex. Women enjoy sex, so **** cannot be such a terrible physical ordeal.

"To suggest that ****, when conducted without violence, is a serious crime is like suggesting that forcefeeding a woman chocolate cake is a heinous offence. A woman would be more inconvenienced by having her handbag snatched.

"The demonisation of **** is all part of the feminazi desire to obtain power and mastery over men. Men who go along with the **** myth are either morons or traitors."

On 5 November 2005, in an item entitled "Give her a slap!," Mr Eriksen approvingly quoted Noel Coward as saying: "Some women are like gongs - they need to be struck regularly." On 8 November, he claimed that "the vast majority of domestic [assaults] are initiated by the woman." Mr Eriksen also wrote on 24 November 2005 that mothers "should never go out to work" and described career women as "unnatural and vile... it is a strange kind of woman who would want to invest [her] energies into her job rather than into a man."

Eleven of the 25 Assembly members are elected on a London-wide basis using a form of proportional representation. The BNP is likely to win at least one of these seats, for which it needs around five per cent of the vote, and has strong hopes of winning a second, for which it needs around seven to eight per cent. If the BNP does win two seats, one of them will go to Mr Eriksen and one to London party leader Richard Barnbrook.

Gerry Gable, publisher of the antifascist magazine Searchlight, said: "It is horrifying, and an amazing indictment of the BNP, that someone with these views could be elected to the London Assembly. What is his attitude going to be to his women constituents?"

The author of the Sir John Bull blog, which stopped publication last autumn, is not identified on the website itself. But the Standard established that it is Mr Eriksen by posing as a BNP sympathiser and sending a message to the site's contact email address, johnbull@englandmail.com.

Within two days, Mr Eriksen replied, signing his name, giving Mr Barnbrook's contact number and saying: "As for your kind comments about the blog, I may well restart this after the elections - we shall see what happens! All the best, Nick."

Contacted by the Standard last night, Mr Eriksen admitted the blog postings were written by him, but said they were "deliberately provocative" in order to stimulate debate.

"I was trying to make the point that there are two kinds of ****," he said. "There is stranger **** and there is so-called **** by somebody the woman knows. I was raising an important issue in a provocative way to allow people to make up their own minds."

Mr Eriksen insisted that he "did not condone violence in any way," but was "trying to highlight the fact that violence against men is unacceptable." He said: "It's typical of the media to distort what the BNP say."

Mr Eriksen, a former Tory councillor and ex-civil servant at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport who lives in Richmond, says he will not resign. If he and Mr Barnbrook are elected, BNP leader Nick Griffin says the party will be invited on the BBC's Question Time.

Y'know, if this shit was delivered by Richard Pryor or Bill Hicks or someone, it'd make decent stand-up material. But here, without a trace of irony, it makes me want to buttfuck the guy 'til he's crying and bleeding THEN ask what he thinks of R.ape.

Wow, that is the most disgusting thing that I have ever heard anyone say in my life. I think this guy deserves to die a miserable, and painful death for saying something like that....

**** is a serious thing, and I for one believe that we aren't hard enough on rapists... but that's mostly because of my own past... >_>

That's just wrong. And if he gets elected I hope his female colleagues "decorate" his desk with something vile.

Its the BNP. They are right-wing anti-women, anti-minority and pretty much anti-to-many-other things to mention.

BNP = british national party. Their objective to to pass laws that help 'britain'. When they talk about britain, they mean white, upper class, men - which is what they are and what their party mainly supports.

It's not a real shock to hear something like this coming from one of them.

Unless you're serious, in which case, maybe that's part of why women find you repulsive.
Actually, even joking about that could lead some women to finding you repulsive.

I totally agree!! I wouldn't want to sink to his level, but the temptation to insert a large sharp projectile into one of his orafices is just so tempting.

The BNP are a disgusting hate-filled party. If you're not a white British anglo-saxon male, you aren't human, in their opinion. Fucking twats.

While I disagree strongly with the statements made by this guy, I will ask which is the more common crime, r@pe or bag theft. That being said, you could argue that bag theft was more worrisome if it happened significantly more often than r@pe. I could care less what statistics say regarding women's attire and likelihood of being r@ped. You have to imagine that even if revealing attire doesn't cause the crime, it certainly doesn't help much. Am I trying to say women can't dress in that manner? No. I'm merely stating my views and I invite you all to argue with me if you find that so horrible to say.

WTF?!?!

I'd like to know what planet he lives on where r.ape isn't a violent sexual act! If it was CONSENSUAL then it wouldn't be R.APE, which is a VIOLENT ACT OF FORCING YOURSELF SEXUALLY ON SOMEONE!! [Even if you throw the idea of role-playing a r.ape scene in a BDSM way, it's still CONSENSUAL.]

Gah, what's wrong with these people?! >__<

I just want to know how would he feel if it were his daughter, wife, mother, sister who were attacked? *shrug* Well, he may not care, because apparently...

Um, yeah brother. Usually I can roll with a bad gag. I even chuckled a bit at Jilllian's "In soviet russia, microwaves baby you!" but your response was a bit much. I can forgive it if you didn't mean it. Did you?

PSH! Duane is a sweetheart, he was merely expressing how nonsensical the claim was in a sarcastic way. He means no harm I'm sure.

Actually no, it does make sense, not all of it, but some of the parts. I don't think they should be reguraly *****, though, I don't think most of the cases are as bad as some woman make them out to be. They could be somewhat provoked. Could allow themselves to be ***** to get attention. Women aren't as weak and harmless as they seem to be. This is just my opinion* waits for people to condemn him to hell, claim they'd like to see him get *****, killed, the usual stuff*
