They are in a small minoritey and most people don't take them that seriously, hehe and we may even have some of their leaders ending up in jail pretty soon. Allthough they do seem to gain one or two seats a year.

Yeah, people generally throw stuff and laugh at them..

But some people say "I'm not happy with the government I voted in, so I'm gonna show that I CAN vote for someone else,." This is just to prove a point and means they MAY gather seats in local councils, but in the long run this doesn't really matter, as people go back to the real parties in the Government elections.

And NO, this isn't the first year they've been around.

Most people I've ever heard talking about them despise them; they're seen as nasty, racist twats. However, they can't be hated as much as they probably should be as their electoral popularity has risen. For example, they doubled their seats (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4974870.stm) in the most recent England/Wales council elections. I suspect part of that is a knock-on effect of the shambles that are the three main parties in the UK, but far from all of it.

Luckily for us in NI, they've not stood for election here to date, and to the best of my knowledge don't even exist in the Province. Personally, I'd like to see the lot of them burn in hell (were I to believe in said place's existence).

Mostly people laugh at them/ are terrified tby them/wonder how they occasionally get elected/are comforted byt he fact that thye get slapped back down pretty quickly.

It is depressing how they've got two seats (have they? I don't know. correct me if I'm wrong.), ahead of the greens, though.

Sorry. Weeee bit drunk.

But yes. They're basically a laughing stock. A bunch of fascist throwbacks. They get the fear votes though, and there's a lot of people to appeal to in a fear culture.

Well, considering that they're from the lunatic fringe of the right wing, and virulently homophobic, it's pretty hilarious that one of their so-called brighter lights directed and, er, performed in a gay porn movie named HMS Discovery: A Love Story, which is also described on another website, apparently, as "Marxist".

His name is Richard Barnbrook, and he was the BNP candidate for Barking (as in "barking mad") in a recent election. Of course, by now we all know that people on the right are huge fucking hypocrites. But rarely has the hypocrisy been so damned FUNNY!

The BNP are generally not very popular at all in Britain in general, and are viewed as extremely nationalist and racist. They usually get a pretty bad record in the British Press and, in my opinion, are loonier than the Raving Loony Party (Anarchists). They don't have any seats in the Scottish or British Parliament, but do have 53 council seats.

The BNP are a collective of some of the most stupid hypocritical racist in Britain. One of their slogans was "we're not rascist we're British". That gives a bad name to everyone in Britain. All mainstream politicians are against as are the majority of the British Public. If they ever got into power (not likely. Thank you first past the post system:D ) I'd leave. The BNP councilers et their seat in elections but never actually turn up to council meetings. And they call main stream parties stupid.

And yet, it is foolish to discount them entirely. Denmark (small country in Scandinavia, close to Britain) had its own BNP clone in the not too distant past. That party, along with another nationalist party, merged with an offshoot of the Danish populist party, and the resulting DF party (Danish People's Party) is now the government's supporting party & pretty much dictates things like immigration policy & wields enormous power.

Seeing the skyrocketing popularity of the BNP at the moment, something similar may well happen some day.

Though everybody knows they're full of shit, it's important not to simply ignore them.

We don't give a damn about what our national race or culture is as long as we're free to ignore such ideas; that is what it is now to be British. In seeking to take this from us, the BNP is stripping the British of our primary distinguishing trait!

Well, they try to canvass those of other racial backgrounds to not look rascist, trying to say they are only concerned with the collapse of British "culture". You know, "My some of my best friends are black but..." kind of thing. radio programme about them had a asian immigrant who was persuaded to possibly vote for them

Doubt they bring up the fact they want all of those who are not white, no matter whether they were even born here, shipped out of the country.

But basically, yes they are a bunch of rascist fucks. And any of their non-rascist policies are just stupid and poorly thought out.

So they are stupid rascist fucks, who unfortunately in certain areas have more support than they should.

Personally I would really like to kick Nick Griffin (erm... is that is name...? I have forgotton) repeatedly in the nuts until they are mushed shit.

I have British Pride, along with everyone in my school, we learnt about our history, people in the armed forces have pride...

And how can you say Britain doesn't have culture?
What about all the old market squares? Our food? Our designer clothes?

London , 21st February 2006 – Britain is the world’s top nation brand, according to the latest Anholt Nation Brands Index (NBI) created by nation branding expert Simon Anholt and powered by GMI (Global Market Insite, Inc.), a global market intelligence solutions provider. Switzerland and Canada are placed second and third respectively in the overall ranking, which was based on a survey of 25,907 people in 35 countries. This fourth global NBI survey polled respondents worldwide about how they view a country’s culture, people, and appeal as a place to visit, invest in or migrate to

Later on...

The NBI also measured how respondents from other countries perceive people from other countries. UK citizens were considered to be the most polite, most boring and best educated. The French were seen as the rudest and Americans were viewed as the most ignorant and ambitious.

Well...2 outta 3 ain't bad. Lol

And yeah, I'm against the bnp (I'm not even gonna give them the implied importance of capital letters)

What food? What clothes? We have fish and chips and Kebabs. We have Tartan. With the exception of some very nice architecture, that's pretty much it. Our history doesn't exactly paint us in a positive light. And everywhere in the world has markets.

The only British identity is one of location. That's it. There is nothing else to what we are; anyone can come here and become part of us.

Multiculturalism isn't a failure, and immigration isn't a problem. If there was no immigration, Britain's population would be falling quite rapidly.

And the BNP will force everyone to own and maintain an assault rifle. I don't really want that. That will lead to deaths as people take out people that they don't like because it'll be easy to do so.

Which rather than get rid of the threat of the far right have just encouraged them. The only way to defeat them is to oppose them, not pander to them. Not that you personally want them defeated, but I just wish the other parties would get it... you cannot get rid of the BNP by agreeing with some of what they say... that just encourages them.

And interestingly, the whole thing about the possible break through of the BNP. The Greens got roughly as many new seats in the latest local council elections as the BNP, but no one is stalking about them making a break through.

Though they are still worrying.

And how the fuck did they get away with not being rascist in that court case? Its their thing! Its what they are! How can you not find them rascist?

I don't want this country turned into an even bigger shithole than it's becoming, which is what happens whenever a town is overrun with immigrants (Or those who have descended from immgrants while still hanging onto their backward cultures). I'm sure there are initiatives that could be introduced to increase birth rates. And if the government wasn't able to get away with letting more immigrants in, it would be forced to face up to these possibilities.

There's no point in joining the mainstream parties as they're unreformable. They're in the pockets of big business and only care about their own personal power and prestige. The leadership certainly wouldn't want to rock the boat, I'm sure they're happy as things are. As for the BNP, I'm fully aware what they're like.

Multiculturalism isn't a failure, and immigration isn't a problem.
If you'd ever lived in a northern town with a large muslim Asian community, like I did for most of my life, I doubt you'd be thinking that way.

If there was no immigration, Britain's population would be falling quite rapidly.
As I said, there most be other ways.

And the BNP will force everyone to own and maintain an assault rifle. I don't really want that. That will lead to deaths as people take out people that they don't like because it'll be easy to do so.

Firstly I know the BNP are a bunch of criminals, but does that make them really that much different from the mainstream parties? The difference is that the parties of government send people out to do their dirty work, while the BNP aren't afraid to get down and dirty. As for UKIP, they're a bunch of irellevant old fogies who will never be of any consequence to anyone. Plus they seem a little too economically right wing and capitalist for my liking.

Immigration doesn't cause the harm you are espousing it, that is caused by individuals within society. Are you saying we had no crime in this Country before immigrants?

As for the birth rates, how, please pray tell, do you increase birth rates without changing the way in which society as a whole thinks about women and their place in society?

A vote for the BNP is a vote for corporal punishment, racism and ignorance as government policy. Why would you want that?

Exactly. They're also anti-democratic. Taken from the 2005 General Election manifesto:

Conscientious objectors who refuse to undertake military service would be allocated other constructive work for the community, but would not receive the citizen's right to be armed, or the right to vote.

So, basically, if you don't do what the BNP government tells you because you don't believe it's the right thing to do, you lose your right to vote. How the hell can someone take these people seriously when they are a threat to our freedom? I just don't understand people sometimes. Go read their manifestos - I'm sure it'll change your mind if you had any temptation to vote for them (either in the past or, more importantly, in the future).

Just to clear up, I know so much about this because I am very freedo of speech so have followed the Griffin case very closely.

So are you saying you support them? And what do you mean when you said some things might be true?

Some things they said are true. Nick Griffin said it said in the Koran to destroy all Christians and Jews who will not convert to Islam. He was shouted down and called a racist. It does actualy say this in the Koran.
The debate is that obviously not all muslims are going to do it and he is implying they will.

They're shitbags, but the situation here is probably comparable to that of mid-'20's Germany. We joke about them ruling, but they're actually gaining in power all of the time, sadly.

No it isn't at all. There are not regular street fights and murders between the BNP and the SWP. They do not raid each others party headquarters and meetings and beat the occupents up. Neither has attempted a revolution. Neither holds any seats in parliament. The BNP has no SA or SS. And as far as I know no one in their right mind would joke about the Nazis getting into power, nor does anyone joke about the BNP getting into power.

And the BNP will force everyone to own and maintain an assault rifle. I don't really want that. That will lead to deaths as people take out people that they don't like because it'll be easy to do so.

No they won't. They will give retired and serving soldiers the option of keeping their service rifle at home so they can give aid in dangerous situations. They will also relax the laws on attacking intruders.

And interestingly, the whole thing about the possible break through of the BNP. The Greens got roughly as many new seats in the latest local council elections as the BNP, but no one is stalking about them making a break through.

Actualy I believe the Greens got 30 more than the BNP. But they (IIRC) did not gain as many as the BNP. They allready had most.

But, on technicality, we're all immigrants.

No it doesnt. Islamic law says people who convert out of Islam should be killed, but that other people that believe the Judep-Chrto-Islamic god should be left alone (though treated like second class citizens).

While this is not acceptable either, it doesnt ask for their destruction, as they believe in the same god.


I'm not. My family ancestry is English as far as it can be traced back.

How far back is that? right back to the first immigration of human beings to Britain 10,000 years ago? No Roman in you? NO Celt? No Viking? NO Anglo-Saxon? No Norman? British people by definition must be decended from immigrants.

Now I know you're going to come out with the usual 'nation of immigrants' bollocks (This isn't the US), but the waves of settlers to this country was more of a gradual process by other European cultures who assimilated. It wasn't seeing our country rapidly colonised by muslims who'll turn us into an islamic state as soon as they get into the majority..

Immigration doesn't cause the harm you are espousing it, that is caused by individuals within society. Are you saying we had no crime in this Country before immigrants?
I'm afraid I don't subscribe to this 100% individualism, a community has to be held responsible for the damage that is largely caused directly by them. And I'm not saying we had no crime, just less.

As for the birth rates, how, please pray tell, do you increase birth rates without changing the way in which society as a whole thinks about women and their place in society?
I won't pretend I have much knowledge on that subject, but I believe it must be possible. One thing's for sure, any method of naturally increasing our population has to be preferable to letting more immigrants in.

This question shouldnt be put up on Nation States, since this forum as we all know is home to leftists, drug users,sexual perverts,communists,marxists, etc etc(there are exceptions, but they are few and far between)

So of course any political party thats even slightly more right then the center will recieve an overwhelmingly negative response here.

Its like going to www.stormfront.org and asking the people there what they think about a marxist party. :rolleyes:

Hmmmm, how amusing. Or, you know, not. Goddamn neonazis. The BNP are scum; pure and utter bastards. Nothing less. Should they ever get into power, it is my contention that would never let go of it. How people can vote for them is beyond me, given what they represent; have British people really forgotten that they represent exactly what we fought against just 60 years ago?

If the BNP ever get into power, I will no longer stay in this country; it will no longer be the Britain I know and love. That is if they let me leave; if not, I'll do all in my power to fight the racist bigots.

I mean, jesus, the Mail could make Yoghurt sound like it was the next thing to bring Britain to its knees.

The Britain I know and love is the Britain that has its broad history, its culture. The Garden of England, Kent - where I live in. A place where democracy still exists (Albeit in a slightly retarded version at the moment), and where its history is still to be seen, in its monuments and historic buildings. Where people venerate Churchill and Cromwell and Brunel. Where people celebrate England in the World Cup, and people still support our Cricket team, even if we do always lose.

Yes, Britain has its dark side, but so do all countries, and there are many, many worse countries. Britain may not be all puppies and kisses, but its still a damn good place to live in.

Someone needs to make the point that most historical records were destroyed when Henry VIII and John Wyclife reformed the church in the mid 16th century. So everyone saying "I'm English as far back as records go" - really only means that they're ancestry goes back a few centuries.

That said I don't think the fact that "we are all immigrants" mean that someone is going to fail to distinguish between a first generation Algerian immigrant, and a 39th generation 'immigrant' with a bit of Nordic blood in them.

I think multiculturalism is a failure and saying that doesn't make me a racist. Remember after the 7/7 bombings there was all this talk about different "communities" - that in itself struck me as an admission of the racial and religious segregation that exists within our country. I do not believe there are easy solutions however, I think the problem lies largely in the crisis of national identity that Briton seems to be undergoing. I also believe that a vote for the BNP is a vote for ignorance, violence and racism.

Incidentally did anyone know that Nick Griffin refuses to claim that Briton was on the "right side" during the Second World War. As odious views go it's right up there with arguing that the extent of the Holocaust has been exaggerated, which, incidentally, is also one of his views.

Like thats going to happen any time soon. 2.5% of the British population. They are a tiny minority. And a minority of them want to turn Britain into an Islamic state... so, what do we have? Even if half of all Muslims in Britain are militant islamists, which is about as likely that 50% of all whites are supporters of the BNP/UKIP, we have about 750,000 extremist muslims... with a number I suspect more probably about 100,000 at most, if not just a few 10s of thousands.

Yes... they really represent a threat to Britain...

Well, considering that they're from the lunatic fringe of the right wing, and virulently homophobic, it's pretty hilarious that one of their so-called brighter lights directed and, er, performed in a gay porn movie named HMS Discovery: A Love Story, which is also described on another website, apparently, as "Marxist".

His name is Richard Barnbrook, and he was the BNP candidate for Barking (as in "barking mad") in a recent election. Of course, by now we all know that people on the right are huge fucking hypocrites. But rarely has the hypocrisy been so damned FUNNY!

http://politics.guardian.co.uk/farright/story/0,,1772052,00.html

It's not porn. It's ART :mad:

:p

Oddly enough, a couple of years ago a black woman stood for the BNP in a council election, although I forget where.

Bizarre.

They were probably short of member who were eligible to stand. For the benefit of those who didn't get yesterday's Private Eye.

BARKING MAD

Although media attention after the 4th May elections focused on the success of the far-right BNP in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, where 11 of its 13 candidates were elected, the truth is that the B&D was a missed opportunity for the fascists.

The BNP had wanted to field a full deck of 51 candidates but, alas, was unable to find sufficient local party members whose colourful pasts did not debar them from standing. Normally this means having no criminal conviction carrying a custodial sentense of three months or longer in the last five years; evidently a requirement that was too stringent for many BNP members.

The source for this information is none other thant Robert Buckley, one of the BNP's successful candidates in Barking. At the count Buckley boasted to everyone within earshot that si many local BNP members had murky pasts the party couldn't muster sufficient candidates to stand - a fact he seemed proud of.

Meanwhile local BNP leader Richard Barnbrook, former gay porn - sorry "art" - movie director, may yet face disqualification for having given false information. The "home" address Barnbrook gave was 5a London Road, Barking; yet the flat at that address is derelict.

It wasn't seeing our country rapidly colonised by muslims who'll turn us into an islamic state as soon as they get into the majority..

Do you have any proof that the majority of Muslims want this?

Do you even know how many Muslims are in the country?

I'm afraid I don't subscribe to this 100% individualism, a community has to be held responsible for the damage that is largely caused directly by them. And I'm not saying we had no crime, just less.


Proof?


So, basically, if you don't do what the BNP government tells you because you don't believe it's the right thing to do, you lose your right to vote. How the hell can someone take these people seriously when they are a threat to our freedom? I just don't understand people sometimes. Go read their manifestos - I'm sure it'll change your mind if you had any temptation to vote for them (either in the past or, more importantly, in the future).

Meh, they are just the latest in a long line of people who after watching Starship Troopers thought, "Hey, that's a great idea."

We get threads like that in general every now and then.

I don't want this country turned into an even bigger shithole than it's becoming, which is what happens whenever a town is overrun with immigrants (Or those who have descended from immgrants while still hanging onto their backward cultures). I'm sure there are initiatives that could be introduced to increase birth rates. And if the government wasn't able to get away with letting more immigrants in, it would be forced to face up to these possibilities.

This country is not a shithole. We have good, free, healthcare, excellent social welfare, clean running water, freedom to do pretty much as we choose, a good future economically, and a reliable government. We're one of the better off countries of the world.

There's no point in joining the mainstream parties as they're unreformable. They're in the pockets of big business and only care about their own personal power and prestige. The leadership certainly wouldn't want to rock the boat, I'm sure they're happy as things are.

Rock the boat by voting for the Marxist forum. Or the Greens, when they're pro-Europe. That's a far better option than essentially a vote for Nazism.

As for the BNP, I'm fully aware what they're like.

It's clear that you're not. Horribly, horribly clear.

If you'd ever lived in a northern town with a large muslim Asian community, like I did for most of my life, I doubt you'd be thinking that way.

Lived in Leeds, wasn't that bad. A lot of racism from the whites towards Asians, which is completely unacceptable. My family left a couple of weeks before the riots, actually, which was lucky.


The Swiss seem to do a similar thing successfully.

Their murder rate is astonshingly high, too.

Sometimes you have to give the establishment a shock.

Beating up children is not giving the establisment a shock. Employing more teachers so that children can get taught properly and succeed is giving the establishment a shock.

Firstly I know the BNP are a bunch of criminals, but does that make them really that much different from the mainstream parties? The difference is that the parties of government send people out to do their dirty work, while the BNP aren't afraid to get down and dirty.
If by that you mean cheerily beat the shit out of immigrants and brick their windows then yes.

You know what ? We, in France, have also lots of people telling us the country is going down the gutter, right to the sewer, just because we aren't capitalist enough. That we should do much better to stick to american (read Bush's) standards. Less state, more business, less social protection.

With that "funny" word from the head of the business owner's union : "love is precarious, so why should employment be different ?"... It sure tells a lot about those people's mind, right ?

Track back all the people telling you that your country (and their, by the way) is pure shithole, and you'll certainly most of the time discover people that are linked to major economical power.

I will certainly not surprise you (well, at least european people. For non-european people, believe me, you're not missing anything !) by telling you about our "second" prime minister, egocentric, megalomaniac and would-be-next-president Nicolas Sarkozy. Ever heard of his project of "selective immigration" ? Basically, it's french government going to third-world countries, saying "hmmm, your doctors look nice this year, i'll take some. Of course, France won't be able to pay them as much as french doctors who studied in France, but still, it will be better than their miserable salary here, right ? What ? You're complaining because at this rate you won't have anybody left that graduated here ? And that it will endanger your already more-than-fragile economy ? Beat me, as if i ever cared !!".

So, be proud of the achievements of your own country, don't close your eyes on its flaws (every country has, and i could give you a long list about France :D ) and fight to fix them ! Don't let anybody make you believe that your country is shit, especially if they are earning a 6-figure yearly salary ! It's not nationalism, it's purecommon sense.

About BNP now. You know we have the Front National here in France. Not as racist as the BNP seemes to be, but they in fact learnt how to behave in public. Which means that they are certainly as racist as the BNP. The problem is that they're not alone now : we have the RPF (Rassemblement pour la France) of Philippe the Villiers (a crazy nationalist-racist-royalist) and even the party of the government, the UMP (Union de la Majorite Presidentielle - Presidential Majority Union, hah, tell me about a lobby's name ! ;) ) under the impulsion of Nicolas Sarkozy (yeah, the same) is leaning far right now...

A middle aged man/woman, living in a council house and on the dole. Saying the reason he/she is on the dole is because of immigrants who are "Taking over work places"

Oh and in a recent interview the bnp leader was asked a question..

"What makes you so against foreign culture and people?"

He replied.

"Well, for one, I recently read a story about how an English woman was raped by an immigrant."

This implies that he thinks there would be no rapes if immigrants were kicked out...Do you really believe that would be the case?

And yeah I do agree with you about the immigrant problem, but i'm only against ILLEGAL immigration, you know? Against the law immigration?

I have no problem, however, with legal immigration.
And just so you know, most immigrants are white eastern Europeans. :)

And that if two black people have a child there is a 90% chance that the child will be black. Also that they account for 70% of crime in Africa, and that they weren’t smart enough to vote in the US until 1965.

So just because something happened hundreds of years ago, that means it should have to happen now irrespective of its merits? If it's bad for the country now they shouldn't be allowed in, even if it has happened before. These are different times, so I don't see why we should be afraid of a different approach.

Damn, I always forget, it´s them, not us, so it must be bad.

As for the different approach, iirc it has been the approach since dawn of time to fight Johnny Foreign, simply because he is foreign. Why not try a new approach where people are seen as humans, not enemy beasts?

Why is it that you seem to be proud that this country has been leaving behind it's traditional way of life and culture and just becoming some soulless consumerist shithole?
Traditional way of life?

You're trying to steal freedoms we had thirty years ago, pour shame on us for standing up to the fascists of the second world war sixty years ago, return to the style of unelected government we threw out ninety years ago (Parliament act of 1911, just to remind you) in some attempt to repeat the mistakes of the pseudo-imperialist world power we held in the 1800s, and you say we are abandoning our traditional way of life?

Let me tell you something, boy. When you grow up, you're going to realise something, and it is going to hurt you badly.

Things have changed since then and they continue to change. If you don't change with them, they are going to leave you behind and you'll have nobody to blame but yourself.

Do you really want to know why people think the country is in such a state? It's because too many of its inhabitants refuse to change with circumstance and waste priceless time trying to change it back to the way it was. If people spent less moaning to everyone about how they can't go to work because someone else is doing their utterly menial job for them and actually went and learned some special skills, this place would be a whole lot better off. Instead, they find themselves left in their middle-aged broken husks in council-owned accommodation wondering what the hell they've done with their life.

And as for your own targetted anti-muslim bias, the only reason you hate them is you fear they're trying to take over, and the only reason you fear that is because you are trying to do exactly that.

People in glass houses, and all that.

You and Islamist supremecists are of the same vein. Take comfort, perhaps, in knowing that we will fight them if they try to seize control in exactly the same way we will fight you if you try to seize control.

Nobody decides what we are; not you, not Islam, not Fascism, not Labour, not the colour of our skin, not even the shadow of our own past. Britain is evolving and changing all of the time, and if you won't keep up with it, you will be left in its wake.

What makes you so deathly afraid to have a Muslim officer in battle? Do you think that they'd suddenly scream 'ALLAH ACKBAR' and shoot you up or somesuch? Whatever your reason is, I would surmise it is bigoted and not even supported by anything but the most biased and out-of-context information there is.

Sura 3 :151 We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust.

Sura 3 :28, Let not the believers take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah

Sura 22 :19-22; These two antagonists dispute with each other about their Lord: But those who deny (their Lord),- for them will be cut out a garment of Fire: over their heads will be poured out boiling water. With it will be scalded what is within their bodies, as well as (their) skins. In addition there will be maces of iron (to punish) them. Every time they wish to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be forced back therein, and (it will be said), “Taste ye the Penalty of Burning!”

Incidentally did anyone know that Nick Griffin refuses to claim that Briton was on the "right side" during the Second World War. As odious views go it's right up there with arguing that the extent of the Holocaust has been exaggerated, which, incidentally, is also one of his views.

Yes... they really represent a threat to Britain...

WHAT! You are saying having 100 FUCKING THOUSAND muslim extremests is not a threat? How are they not a threat. How are people that take verses such as the ones I posted above literaly and to the word (which not all muslims do obviously) not a threat to Britain.

I actually would like to have some more information. And also some context for those quotes. That would be great. To Jihad (struggle in the way of God) is a last resort, when Muslims aren't free to practise their religion, that's the only time when it's deemed acceptable.


Oh and I love the way people like to call the BNP Nazis dispite the fact Iranian suicide bombers regularly use Nazi Salutes.

Only the ignorant call them Iranians, use the word Persians, and just about every military organisation has a salute much like the Nazi salute. So did the Red Army and it fought off the Nazis.

And I also don't see how that's relevant at all. Just because you don't use the Swastika doesn't mean that you're not a neonazi. And there are many countries which used to use the Swastika, which weren't Nazis at all. Like the Finns, for example.

The BNP are very, very dangerous. Even imagining anything else is folly.

That would be interesting seeing as he was instrumental in attempting to remove anti sematism from the BNP.

That's probably because the government actually cares about anti-Semitic groups, but doesn't give two fucks to people giving the Muslims a hard time.

WHAT! You are saying having 100 FUCKING THOUSAND muslim extremests is not a threat? How are they not a threat. How are people that take verses such as the ones I posted above literaly and to the word (which not all muslims do obviously) not a threat to Britain.

There are thousands of fundamentalist Christians around, and there's a fair amount of violence in the Old Testament, but I don't see them as a problem.

Sky News is not the best place to get your opinions of Islam from. Or anything from, really.

"Those from foreign ethnic backgrounds resident in Britain will be given the choice of either having their children educated in Faith or Folk schools that will teach them the traditions and heritage of their ancestral cultures, or of attending classes in schools that educate them about their ancestral heritage. We believe that all children suffer when deprived of their right to an ancestral identity and contact with their cultural roots.

We will encourage black and ethnic minority schools and religious schools run by parents and staff that educate those children as to their ancestral heritage and instil pride in their culture and ethnicity."

Sounds an awful lot like "seperate but equal" to me...

"we believe that it is far more likely than not that the historically established tendency (and we do not claim that it is any more than that) of the peoples of Western Europe in general - and of these islands in particular - to create and sustain social and political structures in which individual freedom, equality before the law, private property and popular participation in decision-making, is to some extent at least genetically pre-determined. "

Teehee! Of course there are differences between people of different races, but I'm unaware of any research suggesting "western Europeans" are somehow better at governing themselves with individual freedom, before the law, private property and popular participation in decision-making.


"We would abolish all laws against racial discrimination in employment and the government bodies associated with enforcing them."

Because the Koran teaches things like...

Did you know that the Bible teaches that women should be subordinate to men? That despots are ok, and people should keep their heads down rather than trying to stop them? That slavery is fine?

Both of these books (The Bible and the Koran) were written a couple of thousand years ago. Things have changed a hell of a lot. Notice that in Britain today there's no slavery, women have equal rights to men and we're a democracy despite the fact that on the last census (2001), seventy-odd percent of Britons claimed they were Christian? It's because we've changed with the times. Just as the vast majority of Christians accept that parts of the Bible are simply unacceptable in modern society, the vast majority of Muslims accept that some parts of the Koran are unacceptable. There are, of course, extremeists on both sides, but they are a tiny minority. I think the hundred thousand Islamic extremeists in the nation is a major exaggeration - it's probably more in the hundreds. So proportionately, there would be more Christian extremeists than Islamic extremeists in the UK today since Christianity and Atheism make up about 90% of the UK's religious beliefs (Islam, Hinduism, Bhuddism etc. making up the remaining 10%).

BNP are a bunch of scumbags who then target people who are poor unemployed and full of hate for anyone to vote for them. Most sane , actually all sane people would not even consider voting for the BNP because if they did everyone is screwed. Multiculturalism is what makes Britain what it is today. If the BNP got in to power this would be taken away and Britain would probaly have no contact with the rest of the world. Plus if they got into power the UN wouldn't stand for it. I know the BNP would probably make Britain resign from the UN. If the BNP want to make Britain "respectable" their going the wrong way about it.I suppose that's what the party gets for having a man with a dysfunctional family at its head...

Funny really. The biggest danger I see those groups pose, is how they generate support for insane nazi bastards like the BNP.

The Islamofascists aren't a threat in & of themselves, as there's simply not enough people for them to appeal to.

Well I can think of 52 people who would disagree with you if they were still alive.

Politically speaking the danger posed by Islamofascism may not be that great (but then neither is the BNP) the danger to the UK comes through its support and for terrorism and its promotion of values that are anathema to ours in the guise of a language that is acceptable to us.

I can think of several million people who disagree with you. That trumps your 52.

Who're you kidding - ever taken a look at the party manifesto of Hizb ut Tahrir or the preachings of Abu Hamza. Islamic extremism is rife within the UK - the BNP repulse me but lets not deny that radical Islam is a very real danger to the UK.

Almost anything radical is dangerous, but radical political views and religious views are particularly worrying. And ironically, both groups like the BNP and the Islamic extremeists feed off one another. They use the opposite extreme to justify their actions.

And where is Abu Hamza now? He's in prison. What's happening to Hizb ut Tahrir in Britain? They're going to be banned. Blair said himself: "We will proscribe Hizb-ut-Tahrir and the successor organisation of Al Muhajiroun. We will also examine the grounds of proscription to widen them and put proposals forward in the new legislation." - he'll ban them, and also make it easier to ban other extremeist parties that threaten democracy.

I'm not sure if it's come into force yet, but when the Prime Minister says he's going to do something this drastic, it's hard to get out of doing it (it's very rare that a political party is banned in Britain).

So I'd actually suggest that the BNP are more of a threat, since MI5 and the police are keeping a much closer eye on Islamic extremeists since July 7th - they claim to have thwarted three or four attacks since then, for instance.

You mean the tube victims?

They're middle-class Londoners, mostly. They'd probably have disliked the BNP more if they were still alive. But this is only speculation on my part; they were people with their own political leanings and personalities. That they were killed by your enemies does not excuse your abuse of their very characters in furthering your own goals.

They are not a statistic. They are Individuals. We should remember them for that, not as part of some number or some sweeping generalisation.

Trying to post-humously decide their opinion for them is no worse than those who proclaim the glories of martyrdom. You're all the same, really; those who would use the deaths of others as propaganda pieces for some twisted hatred of the other side.

It wasn't a humorous post, it was a serious one and your exercise in moral relativism is rather interesting if totally absurd.

They are a statistic, just as they are individuals - or do you have some natural aversion to numbers since it denies people their individuality. If I stated that "Mao Tse Tungs repulsive cultural revolution resulted in the deaths of over 50 million people" - would that be an insult to their memory because I didn't take the time to list all their names and occupations. My assumption is that they would be aware of the horrors Islamic extremism is capable of inflicting since they were murdered by Islamic extremists - hardly a gigantic logical leap, nor is it a degradation of their memory.

You refer to these callous murderers as "my" enemies, I really would hope that you would be willing to consider all those willing to butcher innocent civilians as "our" enemies - or is that expecting too much?

Do you think that saying "murdering innocent people is wrong, we must try to stop others doing this" is the same as saying "the infidels much perish, praise be to Allah for this glorious victory"?

I don't think the Nazi genocide is relevant to an analysis of the BNP in modern day Britain anymore than the sacking of Constantinople is relevant to an analysis of Islamic extremism.

Post-Humously, not Humourously. It means messing around with their personage after they're dead. My sincerest apologies for that going over your head. :rolleyes:

Your proclamation was that these people would see Islamists as a greater threat than the BNP. That is an assumption completely unfounded in the opinions of any of the people who died. It is taking the dead, disregarding the person and forming the lifeless statistic into a ventriloquist's puppet for your own opinions and viewpoints.

Neither you nor the Islamists for whom the murders were carried out care about the individual. You don't give so much as a thought about what they might have thought themselves. Instead, you both leap on an opportunity to abuse them as a lifeless testament to your own political aims and intents. The only difference between you and them is which side you're on, and it sickens me no less.

If reducing the victims to a propaganda tool like that is not degredation of personage, I don't know what is. It is this kind of behaviour on all sides of the problem that causes the deaths in the first place, and those who died would be disgusted to see themselves being used in this way by either of you, whatever else they'd think.

Make no mistake. I bear exactly the same disgust for anyone who wants to misuse other people for their selfish goals. But the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend, and I will not associate myself with the likes of you, who would so easily display a callous disrespect and abuse of those who he considers his allies, regardless of my feelings towards Islamic Supremecists.

Lol - I was skimming and completely misread that part of your post. I'll reply to the rest of it later.

It is not my intention play political necromancy or act as a verbal puppeteer for the dead. The point I made about the 52 dead was more a rhetorical ploy drawing attention to the London bombing than an imposition of my views upon them. I accept that it was perhaps not right to do but let’s not get carried away, a mere insertion of the word “probably” into my initial statement would totally neuter the basis of your outrage. I also think that the idea that a person might feel a certain amount of antagonism toward their murderer is hardly an unlikely presumption, although again I admit it was a presumption.

In fact you actually verge on making some half-decent points until you get swept away into absurdity by your own self-righteousness: “The only difference between myself and Islamofascists is which side you are on”. That doesn’t actually even make sense when you dwell upon it – it’s a statement that the only difference between me and these theologically radical butchers of humanity is that I oppose everything they stand for. Which I guess puts me in support of democracy, secularism, liberty, human decency, political equality etc. Rather than a slight difference it’s quite a profound contrast wouldn’t you say?

Fifty two people died on July the 7th last year as a result of terrorist attacks in our capital. That is a cold fact. Is your position that it is wrong to draw attention to the deaths of these civilians when making the argument that radical Islamism is a threat that needs to be addressed? Do you feel that when condemning Nazi Germany we ought not mention the Holocaust since it would abuse the memory of the Jews killed and exploit them for ideological ends? What about the millions of Chinese slaughtered as a result of Japanese imperialism – dare we mention that when critiquing the old order or should we hesitate because to do so would be to callously disrespect our allies?

Well What I was discussing earlier when I said radical Islamists where not a threat was when people were talking about Britain becoming an ISlamic state. A small fraction of 2.5% of the population is not going to cause that to happen, though that same group can cause damage, as even one loony can cause a lot of damage.

But if more of those people are let in, then the group will expand to a size that can really do damage.
