BNP candidates

This is an entirely innocent question. Not meant to be flame bait or anything other than asked with the intent to find the answer - before it gets seen as such.

I was just wondering - how many people UK wide that stood on the local council elections UK wide are black?

Or if no-one knows, where can I find that out? I had a look round their site and couldn't see anything.

Not having any black people wouldn't necessarily define whether they are racist or not, before anyone feels the urge to point that out to me, I'm just asking a polite question, because I don't know the answer to it.

Many thanks.

Given BNP views, that's pretty much likely to be zero. Still I think I will be voting for them in the generals, still researching at the moment though.

Their membership policy is that you have to be of White European ethnicity and be able to trace your British heritage back to the 40s (I think) so no there wouldn't be any black representatives

They did have a half-Turkish counciller in my area a few years back, not sure if he is still around now or not.

This is the criteria for membership of the BNP, which should answer your question

Membership of the British National Party is open to those of British or kindred European ethnic descent. While we welcome contact and co-operation with nationalists and patriots of other races, and with the many non-whites who also oppose enforced multi-racialism, we ask them to respect our right to an organisation of our own, for our own, as we respect and applaud their measures to organise themselves in like fashion.

I won't provide a direct link to the page where you can sign up as I'm not sure whether it would be allowed.

Half Turkish :eek:

would that mean Half caste (ie black/white) could join?

Most of the candidates around here tend to be a bit thick and a bit chavvy tbh, and one even got elected a few years ago, hasnt been re-elected tho.

Lib dems seem to be a bit crap round by us too, they seem to have any tom dick and harry representing them, some asian fella knocked on my door on wednesday, idiot could barely speak english, still wasnt as funny as the time a BNP chappy knocked my door

You can't be black and be a member of the BNP however we have plenty of blacks who come to the meetings.

waxapple · 7 May 2007 at 14:55

Thanks for the answers.

I'm pretty certain, after extensive research, that you just asked a silly question.

You are probably one of those people that believe everything you read in the papers about the BNP.
Two of my Asian workmates have just voted BNP after going to a meeting.

and one of my black mates was beaten up in a pub by two guys shouting among other things, our BNP will rule Britain soon and send all you coons back soon, guess i was misinformed.

What's the BNP's stance on religion? Do you have to be a W.A.S.P. or do they welcome other Christian religions as well as the other religions in the world? Just curious.

Yeah, just because two people in a pub shout some random crap, you should condemn every group they associate themselves with. GG.

The unfortunate truth is most swastika-tattoed skinhead thugs down the pub happen to be BNP supporting racists around here. Then on t.v. you see the blokes who run the party are much the same, they don't do their cause much good if that's not what they are about.

They seem to be pro-Christian. They don't really appear to have a stance on religion other than that

2005 General Election Manifesto said:
We will ensure that appropriate areas of public life, including school assemblies, are based on a commitment to the values of traditional Westernised Christianity. Levels of religiosity have always fluctuated in Britain, and while our great inheritance of cathedrals, churches and liturgies has less resonance with the broad mass of the population at present, the wheel of faith will one day turn again and they will be fully valued once more.
