Frequently asked questions
Q1: Why can't I edit this article?
A1: The subject of this article is a controversial figure in British politics. The article has, historically, suffered from high levels of vandalism. A decision was made on 14 September 2009 to protect the article by removing editing privileges from anonymous users, or newly-registered users.
Q2: Why is no mention made of the EHRC court case result?
A2: This is possibly a matter that is more relevant to the British National Party article, besides which the BNP has not yet been able to make the requested changes to its constitution.
Q3: Well there isn't much about the Question Time controversy, is there?
A3: The article does summarise these events, but also links to Question Time British National Party controversy, which is a much more comprehensive source of information on this subject.

Question

[edit]

Since he was expelled by the BNP is he still President For Life?213.205.251.95 (talk) 23:19, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I'm violating protocol, but I don't know where to put this. Griffin is quoted in the article as saying: "a lot of people find the sight of two grown men kissing in public really creepy. I understand that homosexuals don't understand that but that's how a lot of us [Christians] feel." when what he actually said according to the linked source was: "a lot of people find the sight of two grown men kissing in public really creepy. I understand that homosexuals don't understand that but that's how a lot of us feel, Christians feel that way, Muslims, all sorts of people." I do not think the quotation as given in the article accurately represents this statement. Signed previous comment by129.21.66.206 (talk) 23:57, 5 May 2019‎ (UTC)[reply]

I put that in and have edited it out, thanks for pointing out the inaccuracy.--Phil of rel (talk) 19:08, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category

[edit]

can someone add Category:One-eyed people to the article. Posted at 1:22, 10 May 2015‎ by User:203.190.222.222

Done. And removed from this talk page. But is it of any real importance? Emeraude (talk) 18:18, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agree entirely. Would you make a special category for people with one bollock? --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 21:45, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

All correct except the second one which Wayback recognises but cannot display. The correct URL is http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/105162/Oh-it-s-our-fault-is-it-Mr-Griffin and I have added that manually. Emeraude (talk) 18:15, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 2 October 2018

[edit]
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Nick Griffin and his wife no longer live in Llanerfyl, Powys, Wales but moved to a house in Shropshire, England in 2018. This reference should be changed on the information panel on the top right, along with the reference under Personal Life.

Information panel: "Residence - Llanerfyl, Powys, Wales", should be changed to, "Residence - Shropshire, England"

Personal Life: "Griffin lives with his family in a farmhouse in Llanerfyl, near Welshpool, in Wales.", should be changed to, "Griffin lives with his family in Shropshire, England."

Many thanks! Uncleben2018 (talk) 20:21, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He has got a bit of coverage in the Shropshire Star, but I cannot find anything that established he lives there, though I did find a referencing to him wanting to move the Hungary.Slatersteven (talk) 13:59, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Place of residence is out of date

[edit]

Article states "Griffin lives with his family in a farmhouse in Llanerfyl, near Welshpool, in Wales."

I live in the property next door and griffin sold the farmhouse about two years ago and no longer lives there.

Prefixed this statement with "As of 2009 ..." to suggest it's dated. --h2g2bob (talk) 21:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

This is the record of the sale on nethouseprices.com. The name of the property is Y Gribbin, not "Cribbin".
