Nick Griffin Expelled From BNP, Twitter Floods With Sympathy. Or Not.

Nick Griffin has been expelled from the BNP.

Breaking news! I've just been 'expelled' without trial from the #BNP! That'll teach me to tell a member of staff he's a 'useless, lazy twat'

Apparently he had been causing "disunity by deliberately fabricating a state of crisis" in the party. Sounds tense.

Obviously the news was met with huge sadness and disbelief.

Poor old Dick-I-beg-your-pardon Nick Griffin. Been a bad week for the Griffin family all round.

So Nick Griffin has been expelled from the BNP. I'm sure everyone really cares and has lots of sympathy.

Some suggested divine intervention.

BBC News - BNP expels ex-leader Nick Griffin. There is a God and she is a black socialist. http://t.co/YXBcmrcq2L

Explanations abounded.

Both of the other BNP members have expelled Nick Griffin for being too gay and not having enough tattoos.

Nick had harsh words for the mainstream press.

Nick Griffin declines to talk to BBC. Responds to my text: The members and I will sort it all out without resorting to the BBC gutter.

Maybe it was his upbringing...

Poor Nick Griffin, rejected again. He had a difficult childhood, you know. He was always the black shirt of the family.
— paul bassett davies (@thewritertype) October 1, 2014

The reaction could be heard across the country.

I did an Edna Krabappel style "HA!" when I heard this. Vile man: 'Nick Griffin expelled from British National party' http://t.co/sVcE2Zzo84
— Jane Wright (@janewright) October 2, 2014

Obviously Griffin's professional capabilities were called into question.

#NickGriffin how much of a twat do you have to be for even the #BNP to reject you?
— Dave Williams (@realdavedoubleu) October 2, 2014

But some people did see fit to offer advice on a next career move.

Please, for the love of god, can the Quilliam Foundation please not attempt to rehabilitate Nick Griffin?

#NickGriffiths He could join #LabourParty . They stood side by side during the Scottish Referendum! http://t.co/2Tp5m0EKml via @HuffPostUK

Anyone have a job for a political gnome who doesn't pay his legal bills? pic.twitter.com/6t2OsYDFn2

Of course he could always go into showbiz.

They should make a Big Brother style show just for Nick Griffin and Tommy Robinson. But don't broadcast it, just leave them locked in

Kate sought to put our minds at rest.

Rest assured they'll replace Nick Griffin with another bigot to protect us from invasion. Our borders will be safe again soon.

While Jon wrote a lovely poem.

#NationalPoetryDay
Miliband is red
Cameron is blue
Nick Griffin is nothing because BNP said "FUCK YOU"
— Jon (@BristolMediaJon) October 2, 2014

And this cartoon is worth a special mention.

Time for Nick to take stock? Griffin expelled from BNP for 'disunity' http://t.co/fISkh5iqux pic.twitter.com/2Cu43xiGqK
