Because Jack Straw's father was busy being a conscientious objector and not fighting the Nazis whilst Winston Churchill had previously advocated practices which were adopted by the Nazis. He's quoted, verbatim, in the War Office minute of May 12th 1919 as saying "I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes". In effect, on that premise alone, he'd have been over qualified to join the BNP.
Also, as I stated above, Griffin is obviously a choreographic debater. How many British people, up until 10:41pm last night didn't know that the man who has sent hundreds of their sons and daughters to their deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan was the son of a man who himself was imprisoned for refusing to fight a war?

I think you're confusing restraint with rage, frustration and indignation.

You thought wrong.
