Nick Griffin copped a lot of flack for unwelcome tweets about the health of Nelson Mandela last week. And the BNP leader apparent quest for notoriety continued as he appeared to make light of Nigella Lawson.
Photos were published this week showing the celebrity chef's husband, Charles Saatchi, grabbing her by the throat at a restaurant during an argument. Saatchi has since admitted assault.
But Griffin decided to make light of the matter via his Twitter account, with the far right politician branded a "disgusting waste of DNA" and "misogynistic":
If I had the opportunity to squeeze Nigella Lawson, her throat wouldn't be my first choice.

On June 8th, Griffin caused grave offence globally for comments about 94-year-old anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela who has been hospitalized due to ill health:
Saint #nelsonmandela on last legs it seems. Make sure to avoid BBC when the murdering old terrorist croaks. It'll be nauseating.

No surprise #Mandela's lungs are shot - all those burning tyres. Smoking necklaces very bad for the health.
