BNP leader, Nick Griffin, has said that boats carrying migrants from Africa to Europe should be sunk.
Griffin, who was elected to the European parliament last month, said that his party would support an ocean-going force to patrol the Mediterranean sea and called for measures to be "very tough with those coming over". In an interview to BBC parliament, Mr Griffin proposed new measures to deal with the 37,000 immigrants who enter Europe from Africa every year and said that "Frankly, they need to sink several of those boats,".
Nick Griffin was clear to point out that he was not supporting the murder of immigrants at sea, adding that "they can throw them a life raft". Leader of the far-right party said that the only way to stop Europe being "swamped by the Third World" was to "sooner or later to close its borders".
After being elected as an MEP for North West England in June's Europe-wide elections, Griffin was forced to admit that he was unable to find enough extremist allies in the European parliment to form a 'group'. Mr Griffin, along with fellow BNP member Andrew Brons, will take their seat in Brussels next week.
