So if you are against the terrible treatment of innocent people, you are saying the BNP are the party to turn to ?
Riiiight, with you now.

As far as am I aware, BNP haven't presented the policy of invading another sovereign country on the basis of torture. Regardless, that is another discussion entirely.

Some people may turn to the BNP for other reasons than their racist views. Unfortunately that is the reality of the situation.

Personally, I wouldn't turn to the BNP. I believe I have already said who I will vote for. So no, you're not with me now at all.

I never said they did, I also know who you would vote for, because you told me.

By me saying "If you vote BNP then you are racist" was not directed at you.

Out of interest, how do you consider the BNP would remove the unwanted people from this country should all these protest votes get them into power ?

It might have passed me by but I don't think any of the political parties set it out in their manifesto so the BNP is hardly unique or a bastion of clear thinking and a shining example in this regard. You're right though, it probably is the basis for a discussion other than in here.

That is indeed unfortunate, as I stated above the BNP will look upon that as legitimising their views irrespective of the voters actual reasons.

I am not exactly sure what thought processes are required to come down to a decision between the most and least racist parties as your two options. Do they even share one policy between them?

I also find it amusing that the BNP wants to stop any turks coming to the UK yet wants to encourage us to support St Georges Day. The irony is delightful.

Maybe Labour didn't set it out in their manifesto, but that is exactly what they did.

Think about that. The BNP wants the ethnic population out of this country, whereas Labour invaded and killed people in another country on evidence based on torture, and then lied to the house and the population to justify this war. Surely the latter is worse?

If the BNP acts as a pressure group to galvanise the main parties into doing something about our woeful borders than I am all for it.

IMHO the BNP's scuess is due to the result of all the PC spin by the likes of the gaurdian, and the fact they are stopping debate on certain issues with their extreme views; such as.

You disagree with same sex adoption - you're homophobic
You disagree with current immigration policy - you're racist
You disagree with positive discrimination for the selection of women - you're sexist.

No discussion is possible with these kind of people. In my eyes it is exactly the same bigotry spouted by the BNP, yet the media is reluctant to give these kinds of bigots the kicking the BNP get.

You do not have to be homophobic to disagree with same sex adoption, nor do you have to be racist to want tighter border controls. But with the likes of the left elite in their ivory towers putting those kinds of labels on people because they don't agree with their viewpoint is mana from heaven for the BNP who will welcome these disenfranchised people with open arms.

With all the studies showing that children adopted by homosexual problems have as few or less problems than those that are adopted by heterosexual couples what other non bigoted reasons could you have for no agreeing with homosexual adoption? All the evidence points towards it being just as good as heterosexual adoption for the kids.

Actually, that raises an interesting point. How many studies are there which show this? And how long have gays been permitted to adopt, anyway?

& have the quality of gay couple candidates put forward been higher than average adopting couples as they are paving the way with very solid couples?

Conservative, if I'm going to lied to they can at least make it look convincing.

Blaire was a very good lier, Brown isn't. I think Cameron has some real potential though.

That made me chuckle...

I am not sure at the moment at the moment if I am honest, I keep moving between Labour and Con...

I really need to do a bit more research between the 2... hmm.

Hence why so many got petrified when the membership list got leaked. Why be afraid if you've done no wrong?


As someone previous said, if your gonna protest vote then vote lib for christ sake.


-edit-
To touch on something said way back in the thread.
What about those born in England but of mixed race and thus not "Pure" in the eyes of the BNP.
A good friend of mine growing up is mixed-race, his father was black mexican, and his mother english, he turned out looking a lot more like his father then mother which should be irrelevant, but its not is it?
He's a christian and goes to church (of which i dont), he got awesome grades all through school (which i never did so well in to be frank) and went on to train in medicine.
The "new" BNP MP and council where he lives, combined with other residents, make his life hell, and sending him letters with half-assed incentives to 'leave our country' is the final straw.
Ill never vote BNP, ever, no matter how bad the other options appear for this reason alone.
