BNP Leader Apologises for Abolishing Slavery
British National Party Leader, Nicholas Griffin, has formally apologised for Britain's role in abolishing slavery 200 years ago.
Speaking at his party's spring conference in an underground bunker out in the country somewhere, Griffin described the actions of his forefathers as "heinous" and called on the government to repeal the Act of Parliament which brought to an end Britain's role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
"On behalf of my British ancestors, I wish to sincerely apologise for the terrible atrocity that was commited on that rueful day 200 years ago," he said.
"When the trading of slaves in this country was finally prohibited, it brought to an end a glorious era of long and sustained economic growth.
"Were it not for that heinous Act of Parliament, passed in 1807, we would still be enslaving black people today."
Griffin's speech recieved raptuous applause from the audience, who were dressed uniformly in white capes with pointed hoods.
"Damn you William Wilberforce! Damn you to hell!" added Griffin.
