FAR-RIGHT MOVE
Pic on house listing shows EX-BNP chief as Adolf Hitler
A RIGHTMOVE property listing was taken down after house-hunters spotted a mural depicting EX-BNP leader Nick Griffin as Adolf Hitler.
The giant graffiti-style picture, which states “I have no idols, vote
BNP”, appeared in an ad for the three-bedroom home.
Griffin is stylised as Nazi leader Hitler, while his eyes also appear to have swastikas inside them.
It is not clear if the image is pro-bnp, or intended to mock
Griffin and the far-right party.
Rightmove said it spoke to the estate agent, William Jones, which removed the image from its listing for a property in Didcot, Oxfordshire.
A spokesman said: “As soon as we were made aware of the image in this property listing we immediately spoke to the estate agent advertising on our platform and they have removed it.”
Griffin was leader of the BNP between 1999 and 2014 and was an MEP for North West England between 2009 and 2014. The controversial party was founded by former members of the fascist National Front in 1982.
At the height of its success in the 2000s it had over 50 seats in local government and two MEPS. Griffin was once given a suspended prison sentence for incitement of racial hatred. He was declared bankrupt in 2014 and expelled from the BNP that year.
