Felipe Romero: well, when I arrived in Italy I was 11, and all my life changed, in positive. A new school new friends, new climate, new aspects, new things, and all of this is in my first work titled “Phil so Good”. Italy is a place, similar to Colombia, but I was the first foreigner in the country where I lived, “Mattie”, so at the beginning it has been a little hard, a new language, a new moment to create new relationships, and for a young boy could be a dangerous change for his mind, but for me it has been a joke, something funny, thanks to the cover of my friends of my family and to my mind. Italian culture is similar, but at the same time different from Colombian. Italy influenced my music thanks to the foreign music, more American or English, and I discovered R&B, pop, dance, rock, something new for me ,because Colombian radios used to play more Caribbean music or salsa, meringue, more typical sounds Latin music....

BNP leader Nick Griffin's controversial invitation to this afternoon's Buckingham Palace garden party has been withdrawn.
The Palace says the decision to deny him access was taken this morning. In a statement, a spokeswoman said:
"Nick Griffin MEP will be denied entry to today's Garden Party at Buckingham Palace due to the fact he has overtly used his personal invitation for Party political purposes through the media," she said.
"This in turn has increased the security threat and the potential discomfort to the many other guests also attending.
"Mr Griffin's personal invitation was issued to him as an elected Member of the European Parliament.
"The decision to deny him entry is not intended to show any disrespect to the democratic process by which the invitation was issued.
"However, we would apply the same rules to anyone who tried to blatantly politicise their attendance in this way."
Earlier in the week it was reported that the BNP faces possible financial ruin after they had to pay damages in the tens of thousands to Marmite for breaching copyright rules. Not a good week for some...

After the election the BNP failed to win any seats, lost their council seats and lost £131,500 in election deposits.
The Guardian, also reports the party is facing new legal threats after it failed to make the changes to the BNP constitution. "The court case could potentially see the BNP's leader, Nick Griffin, jailed or fined for contempt of court, or see party assets seized, lawyers believe."-The Guardian.
The changes refer to the membership of 'non-white' members, though the changes put in place says BNP members would stage a vetting process at the new members house, which is seen by the judge and everyone else as opportunity for party intimidation. Though further changes show how the party still refuses to remove the racist clauses,
"This seems like a slightly hapless attempt to get round the injunction by moving the offending section to a different part of the constitution," said Paul Epstein [...]The section relating to the "indigenous British" remains in the new constitution, under the heading "Temporary amendment". Gavin Millar QC, a specialist in election and discrimination law from Doughty Street chambers, said this appeared to breach the court decision"-The Guardian.
From reading the article, it sounds like the BNP will be spending more time in court if they carry on with attempts that are being ruled as avoiding the injunction.After the election the BNP failed to win any seats, lost their council seats and lost... more

A fight broke out between a British National Party parliamentary candidate and some Asian men as party members were out campaigning in east London.
Some men earlier swore at leader Nick Griffin and threw fruit at him and he was taken away from the scene.
The candidate for Romford, Bob Bailey, was filmed shouting out to men in Ripple Road when one of them swore and spat at him and Mr Bailey punched him.
Police were called after 1500 BST to the fight between the two groups.
'Campaign of hatred'
At the time Metropolitan Police said they were called to the incident but no-one had been arrested at the scene.
Later however, police said an 18-year-old man attended Barking police station and alleged common assault against another man.
The Barking Community Safety Unit is to look into the matter.
When asked about the fight Mr Griffin told BBC London the fight was the result of a "campaign of hatred and dehumanisation against any group of people, in this case us".
He said: "I think people have to realise that the people have spoken, this is a democratic vote and everyone has to go along with that, whether its us, our opponents or people on the streets, and if there are a few crazies or thugs on the streets I'm sure the police will deal with them quite quickly.
"The more people in the media talk this up as an issue, the more silly kids on the streets will be inclined to take the law into their hands."
Candidates for Romford are: Independent: Philip Hyde; Conservative: Andrew Rosindell; Independent: David Sturman; English Democrats: Peter Thorogood; Labour: Rachel Voller; British National Party: Robert Bailey; UK Independence Party: Gerard Batten; Liberal Democrat: Helen Duffett; Green: Gary Haines.

British National Party leader Nick Griffin says he'd spend £9 billion a year on paying people to leave Britain. Predictably, he's got a fairly clear idea of who he wants to leave: non-white British.
Griffin's plan is to give 180,000 people £50,000 to leave Britain voluntarily, a scheme he plans to fund by using money "which at present the government is wasting on ridiculous climate change adaptation policies".
Having first said he wanted to halt all immigration, Griffin amended his answer to admitted he'd find it permissible to let some immigrants in, using the example of developing nuclear power plants.
"If for that we need to import a Japanese physicist, we'll let them come," he said.
"But we're talking about Polish plumbers or Afghan refugees, the doors are going to be shut because Britain's full."
Let them come? It's safe to assume there won't be many foreign scientists at the height of their game clamouring to come to Britain under a BNP government.

A British family are at the centre of a court case after telling the US hotel they were staying in that they did not want to be served by coloured people or those with a foreign accent.
The family who identified only by their principle member, Rodney Morgan, then had these details entered into the hotels computer system in order that their wishes for the stay at the 5 star hotel be complied with.
The race row came to light after lawyers representing Haitain born Wadner Tranchant sued the hotel.
The 40 year old waited was asked not to serve the family in order to avoid upsetting them.
His lawyers have cited the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which was passed a year after blacks were freed from slavery following the end of the American civil war, which makes it illegal to discriminate in jobs and housing on the basis of race.

For Marmite it's a love/hate thing, not quite the same for the far-right British National Party, turns out the makers of Marmite is not happy.
Unilever (the makers of Marmite) are threatening legal action against the BNP for using the jar of yeast extract on their web version of their election broadcast without permission. The party said that it was a spoof, but claimed that they were not responsible for the product placement. Fortunately, the jar was not included in the main broadcast (well, it has to comply with Ofcom guidelines)

Nick Griffin claims to have made BNP more gay-friendly
British National Party leader Nick Griffin has admitted that he finds gays "creepy" and would ban civil partnerships – but claims he has removed the most homophobic elements from the party.
Mr Griffin spoke to Tory activist and blogger Iain Dale for Total Politics magazine and PinkNews.co.uk has been given exclusive extracts of unpublished parts of the interview.
He conceded that his party used to be "drastically" anti-gay but he now knows it has gay members, although he said it was a "don't ask, don't tell" situation.
Mr Griffin said of homosexuality: "It's unfamiliar, it’s odd and I’m afraid it is creepy. Grown men kissing in public is creepy to most people. You don’t often see it but if you do see it, it’s not a matter of homophobia, it’s odd and you have to explain it to little kids and so on – that’s strange.

A review has concluded that teachers in England should not be banned from teaching because they are members of the BNP or any other political party which may promote racism.
The government commissioned the report last September after a leaked list identified 15 BNP members as teachers.
Members of the BNP are currently banned from joining either the police force or the prison service.

A judge will decide later today whether the far-right British National party (BNP) has done enough to change its membership policy to prevent them being racist.
Leader Nick Griffin succeeded in persuading party members to back a change in the party's constitution last month, which had previously prevented non-whites from joining.

Lucas hit the headlines in May 2006 when he revealed that he was sending his gallows and £100,000 execution systems to countries such as Zimbabwe.
He said he stopped making them in July 2006 after the export of hangman's equipment was made illegal by an EU directive.
But the death penalty campaigner still has a gallows complete with noose on show at his farm in Lakenheath, Suffolk, to demonstrate his belief in 'law and order'.
He is due to appear before Bury St Edmunds magistrates in Suffolk on November 10.Lucas hit the headlines in May 2006 when he revealed that he was sending his gallows... more

A jury has cleared Tauriq Khalid of using racially abusive threatening behaviour towards BNP leader Nick Griffin.
Griffin claimed that Khalid had called him a "white b********". Whereas Khalid admitted that he had shouted abuse and shouted "Nick Griffin, you f****** w*****" and made a V-sign with his fingers.
Griffin called the result unfortunate and sounds like he's playing down the result. He said "I know it's the wrong decision - juries sometimes get it wrong - but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it."
Perhaps if he'd have gone for abusive & threatening behaviour rather than throwing in the race card, he may have got the result he wanted
