They are a bunch of brain dead thugs and Nazi sympathisers. How they can claim to represent Britishness when most of the population would gladly have them horse-hipped is quite beyond me.

You should seriously go to their website and read their manifesto, policies, beliefs etc before you make comments like that. They are all about preserving British heritage, not killing off non-whites.

I actually know a black person who regularly votes BNP. Weird, huh.

They are not about preserving British heritage in any real sense. Do they morris dance? Do they play cricket? Do they play brass band music on the village green? Is listening to Screwdriver and being offensive British heritage?

the problem is issues that people are concerned about like imigration were not addressed by the main parties for fear of loosing votes if they actualy developed a policy.
As they did not address the issue people drifted to someone who was prepared to take a stance. Even if you think the policies of the BNP are a pile, at least they are not afraid to state them and stick to them.
you have the Labour party breaking election promises and saying that the promise was only good for that term of office and the Cons with virtualy no real policies. Is it any wonder the Sun and Mirror readers are turning to the BNP.
Offer them some alternative that addresses issues they want addressed and I'm sure they will drift back.
But living in a democracy means that even Commies and Nazi have a voice and can stand for election. and good that they can so thier ideas can be debuncked.

the problem is that BNP politicians are generally thicker than my homemade porridge with syrup on a cold day. according to searchlight publications, when they bother to turn up to important meetings that set budgets etc., they often make no contribution to proceedings. at least Labour, Tories and Lib Dems have a clue about issues other than race, even if they do break promises. trust me, we are all better off with non-extremist parties. the BNP are also anti-semitic, so even if you are white, you could still be a target if you have Jewish heritage. oh yes - and nick griffin approves of hitler's actions :roll:

This is true. The democratic deficit in the UK is building up to dangerous levels, as both main parties match each other both in their major policies, and in what areas they will not discuss. Both hope that by making unpleasant noises they can keep the Daily Mail off their backs, instead of having the balls to confront incipient racism and nimbyism, and stop letting papers like the Sun and -- much worse -- the Mail get away with printing vitriolic paranoid lies. A brief reminder of some of the Mail's past editorial triumphs ("Hurrah for the Blackshirts" springs to mind) and some serious argument is generally enough to send these creeps scurrying back to the holes they crawled out from.

In a democracy we of course have to let the clowns stand if they want to. Unfortunately both Labour and the Tories have done such a good job of convincing people that voting makes not a blind bit of difference that, in the European and Council elections in particular, fringe parties can come through on the outside. Quite what makes people think that, because Labour and the Tories can't keep election promises, a party of genuine, time-served crooks like the BNP can, is beyond me.

To anyone who might be initially fooled by the BNP's outpourings into thinking that they're not racists: oh yes they are. Scratch the surface a little, and you'll quickly find the reek of white-trash supremacists. They are just shallow-end-of-the-gene-pool bottom feeders; criminals -- usually failed criminals -- with such low self-esteem that they have to latch on to geographical accident and skin colour as their source of "pride".

I agree with your general thrust but not the specifics. :)
The main parties have to grab the sh*tty end of the stick and do something about the issues our BNP friends have raised. Even if it is nothing more than to explain what policies currently exist and how they work.
William Haugh appeared to be the onlyt major political figure that was prepared to address the issues but was accused of racism and all sorts for doing so.
Imigration is a thorny problem and your going to get hurt addressing it but some one has to do it. I'm not saying stop imigration, what I'm saying is address the concerns of the people, after all that is who they MP are supposed to stand for not thier party!

This is true. But the BNP aren't "addressing" it -- they're just spreading and playing up to the same lies that Labour and the Tories are too afraid to confront. The "concerns of the people" are all too often based on pure myth, presented as the unvarnished truth by an hysterical right-wing idiot media.

There are a lot of knee-jerk racists in this country, and many of them are in the Tory party. The Tories are frightened of alienating them, and Labour are scared of galvanising them. This boil on the nation's backside needs to be lanced; instead, our supposed leaders endlessly shift their position and pretend it isn't there.

If you read through the BNP's policies on things other than immigration, you'll see it's just empty crap about preserving British communities, protecting the environment, solving all our healthcare problems... with no actual substance. Anything aside from their racist policies is just substance-less crap to pander to voters.

Hopefully Blunkett will do something smart and strangle the BNP by banning members from all public sector jobs.
The last thing we need is racists with jobs in schools and hospitals.

You can't in a democracy ban members of a legitimate political party from holding public sector jobs. If you go down this road you're on the slippery slope to dictatorship!
Next it'll be ban the greens, then the Conservatives etc etc.
If they act illegally come down on them like any other criminal, but in the UK you are entitled to your own thoughts and beliefs.
If they are a thin party they will be found out but if you support democracy then they have got to be allowed to stand.
But it does highlight a flaw in democracy, the same one that allowed Hitler to be voted into power.

naw let them ban them, maybe then these fair weather nationalists will realize that their watered down politics and their attempts at parlimentary appeasement are doomed to failure. if the cost of being a moderate rightist is the same as being a full blown racialist national socialist, maybe these well meaning if misguided fools with make the leap and become real nazis.

It's worth checking to see who they have listed as proposers and seconders for their candidates, too. The BNP has something of a history of listing people as supporting their candidates without their knowledge or consent. Why a respectable political organsiation should do this is beyond me. The only answer I can come up with is... they're not a respectable political organisation.

Their idea of preserving British Heritage is selling copies of their crappy paper outside Stamford Bridge on a Saturday afternoon. They will not be taken seriously until they have a view of the world which does not revolve around basically racist/English superiority.

I read their election leaflet. I think it was delivered by the regular postman, along with lots of other unsolicited advertising. As they are standing for election, they are entitled to have their drivel delivered by the post office.

Most of it seemed to be really paranoid stuff suggesting that the country is about to be crowded out by asylum seekers, whether genuine or bogus. Well, a lot of people live in UK, and there is a limit to population growth. But I would humbly suggest that most population growth due to immigration is dwarfed by population growth due to birth. These people would be better employed handing out free contraceptives.

I think I looked at their website a while ago and started reading something there entitled 'what is wrong with capitalism'. Three or four paragraphs into the article, they said that the problem was that capitalism needed immigrants and that this is a bad thing.

This party is obsessed with one issue, immigration, and I don't think it is the biggest issue of the day somehow.

My Friend, you seem to have poor political knowledge, for the BNP are not socialists. According to the Linear Political Spectrum they should be classed as leaning to the Far-Right, for the BNP does contain a range of political beliefs, the majority from the Right to the Far-Right. This can be identified because Far-Right wing parties end to use Nationalistic pride to justify radical policies e.g. Kick out asylum seekers to keep Britain British, even though there is no such thing as a pure "British" person. Especially since we have been invaded by the Romans, the Saxons (a Germanic people) and the Normans (French). Socialists believe in, as do the far-rights, that people should receive benefits from the state (even to the extent of a Nanny State) and work for the state. However, Socialists believe in equality to all, including the government, which is why Socialists tend to believe in democratic systems. Far-rights tend to break this promise, as they tend to need the support of rich industrialists to get into power, the BNP are a prime example as they have little care in their policies for the environment.
I am a Green voter because I feel that it is a party not only for Britain but also for the world. Surely the Environment is important to us all. I think that the mainstream parties have become false lying vote grabbers. The Green Party maybe young and they need people who have studied political sciences for most of their life, which is why I intend to in the future run as the Green candidate for my area (as there isn't one).

Personally, I know what the BNPs avowed policies are from reading their website.

This included such gems as the claim that they "intended to maintain the traditional British division between Church and State". This policy stayed up on their website for over a month after one of their spokesmen was asked on Radio 4 if he knew who the head of state was*, and if he knew who the Supreme Governor of the Church of England was**.

We won't even bother to mention the role of the Lords Spiritual at this point, suffice to say I have met 12 year olds who have a firmer understanding of the United Kingdom's politcal system and history than whoever it was that wrote the policies on the BNP website.

The BNP ought not be feared since the number of threads concerning the BNP in this forum and the exposure they receive are not proportionate to the support they receive from the electorate which is in fact relatively small. The reason the BNP should be detested is because they appeal to the basest, most detestable of human characteristics - xenophobia, ignorance and fear.

One thing that did make me laugh though was because their party eleciton broadcast on channel 5 was apparently censored - they had to remove a clip about a woman talking about how her daughter was drugged and raped and the man who did it was BLACK!!! Clearly then he was representative of the entire community and they must all be deported immediately.

So you don't agree with the war on Iraq? One could argue that you'd support a party that would allow Saddam to get away with "murder", at least that would be more legally accurate - it works both ways you see.

Given the fact that their are serious labour shortages in Great Britian at the moment I would be quite happy to see skilled European workers immigrate to this country (I hardly see the 14-40,000 estimate as being a tidal wave), incidentally these people cannot claim the majority of benefits unless they are in work. When I call a plumber to fix my leaky tap I really don't care if he's English, Polish, or if he has recently travelled from the land of Zog providing he can fix my tap.

There are problems with capitalism, immigration and asylum yes, but the BNP's methods of tackling them seem to me to be rather like fixing a squeaky hinge by smashing down the whole door.

P.S: I just voted for Labour in both elections.

It's really just the National Front, isn't it? I remember all of the council estates with "NF" scrawled on walls in spraypaint. It's basically just a party representing those who feel disenfranchised, and want to blame it on someone. Unfortunately, this takes a racial and xenophobic flavour. Why do you think it's just people who live on estates who feel this way? Because they're desperately poor, and the only people that make themselves accessible to take this out on are the foreigners and the other races, often every bit as badly off as they are themselves.

Of course, if someone from these races or nationalities succeeds, then it's got to be because they're getting an unfair advantage, isn't it? It can't be because they're not sitting on the dole complaining, waiting for the next time they have to go sign on.

To classify the BNP as Nazis is incorrect and dangerous. They're not- they're undoubtably fascists- but in the Le Pen Euronationalist tradition as opposed to Hitlerite National Socialists.

Equally the standard tactics of reeling off BNP members criminal convictions in ineffective. They've learnt to counter it (by doing the same with the mainstream parties) and it doesen't bother most of their target constituancy anyway. Far better are the following quotes (both from BNP deputy leader Tony Lecomber):

"The rich are genetically superior to the poor"
"What we need is not more democracy but less"

The heady days of streetfighting in the late 90's are over. The battle now is to win the hearts and minds of the BNPs target audience (mainly those voters who live in impovrished areas and feel rightly abandoned by the mainstream).

I wouldn't use Searchlight as a source either. They were proscribed as an organisation by Anti Fascist Action. Bunch of MI5 bastards that they are.

I believe that the BNP is a racist, facist party. It should not be allowed to exsist, and all members should be punished.

LOL, my grandfather fought in the war and voted BNP in all the elctions he could before he died, so that crap about "what our grandfathers fought against" doesnt wash. Just go and ask some of the oap's in your area what they think of immigration and see what answer you get.

Anyways, a bit of useless trivia for you all. I used to have my picture up on the BNP website for quite a while, i dunno if its still there or not. But anyone who finds me gets a lollipop. :lol:

Nobody should vote for them, unless they admit to being racist. Infact, they shouldn't be allowed to vote for them. They should be a banned party.

Thereby ignoring freedom of speech and imposing one man's view on everyone else. They'd ban you too if they got in, let's just put it that way.

Incidentally fascist parties are characterised by their support for measures such as censorship and the erosion of civil liberties. Banning a party such as the BNP would be in itself a fascist gesture.

I would have thought that someone who fought alongside many eastern Europeans during the Battle of Britian (I assume he did) to safeguard the freedom of this country would be less closed minded about immigration.

well actually, the BNP didn't support England in the 2002 World Cup, for the simple reason that six of our players were of 'non-white' origin, including David Beckham. Really patriotic and British of them, eh? :?

The thing that really annoys me about the BNP is that they bring colour into the equation. Surely a BRITISH Nationalist Party would support anyone who considers themselves British regardless of any considerations of colour or religion etc.

I kinda want to vote for them... but not sure I should. I agree with a lot of their policies, but they seem like a mickey mouse organisation... ie not professional.
It's the problem with any organization on the fringe. They may have something to say, and one may want to vote for them. However, they have absolutely no structure.

If you want to vote for a non-rascist but pro-British and anti-EU party then vote for the UKIP. (As in United Kingdom Independence Party)

Not racist, but certainly also not competent.

Kilroy's already gone on record saying he'll spend as little time as possible actually debating policy with other MEPs. Despite his political career being....young he's already managed to make enough of a mess in speeches when trying to clear himself of racism charges, and seems to be hoping to win purely via the Schwarzennegger card.

I think the only problems presented by immigration could be solved by forcing employers to pay the same wages for the same workload and by refraining from entering immigrants into the NHS/council housing/other welfare programmes until they've paid a prerequisite amount of taxes (or heck, in desperate situations like need of medicaid or housing then loan the services out.) These are the main legitimate concerns, I feel; people pay taxes their entire life, need to suckle at some Socialist teet or other but have to go on a several month waiting list for the programmes they've been forced into paying for. Resentment against immigrants who need these services being given them much more rapidly is bound to develop, and in some respects quite rightly so; it truly isn't fair. To want fewer in the country is ridiculous; as our nation gets older and the purden of pensions increases we'll be crying out for more kids and immigrants.

To cover something said earlier, Hitler was never voted into power. He was appointed to Chancellorship by a very reluctant President Hindenburg and assumed the title of Fuhrer as Hindenburg became more senile, at the time of Hitler's appointment the Nazi Party were actually dropping out of favour as Germany stabilised.

God, that sodding BNP website gave me a headache. The same old rubbish, same old language usage.

So the only way to protect our freedoms are to eliminate our freedoms.

Duchbag, i stand corrected, and i'm sure there will be many other red faces at searchlight, where i read that story. but the fact remains, they are racist and should not be voted for. you just need to read their recent leaflet to see it. they have realised that most voters don't want supremacists running their country or area, which is why they put on the front of non-racism. i happen to agree that it looks like there has been a rush on the part of more mainstream parties to say 'oh, the bnp are still racists, no matter what they tell you, so vote for us!' but even so, just use your common sense on this. at least tony blair, michael howard, charles kennedy, and robert kilroy-silk aren't closet racists or known criminals (although as a liberal, i was fairly unimpressed with his remarks about arabs) however, lesson learned: i will try and be more careful about my sources in future.

ps. come to think of it, tony blair could be classed as a war criminal for starting an unnecessary war with iraq, and causing the deaths of british and iraqi people from his safe, cosy office. is somebody going to put him on trial, along with saddam hussein?
