    Oh dear.

    Guy on BBC now saying that racism against whites is rife in England. It'd be funny if it weren't tree.

    Seriously people...

    Just because you do not have as much money as before is not justification for genocide.

    Cons topping Wales is the bigger story for me. If the BNP win 8 16 seats in the next parliament it'll mean something

    They finished up with two seats, a terrible day for anyone other than racist, Euro-skeptic bigots. The tiny modicum of faith I had left in the Sun and Daily Mail reading proletariat in North England is well and truly gone.

    I'm reluctant to link to such a bile spewing website but I urge people to google the BNP and read some of their "policies". Truly sickening to see these people getting a platform in Europe.

    someone out there has voted for them, may be it was a protest vote to shake up the british goverment

    there were several other parties to give a vote to if it was simply a protest vote.....


    *****!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,255 ✭✭✭getz


    the people who are voting for them are the eldery who live in high asian areas of the country, and do not feel safe in the streets anymore. the newspapers dont help with their over the top reporting ,this makes very fertile ground for the likes of the BNP

    My God.....anybody see Adam Bolton interviewing Griffin last night on Sky? It was cringe worthy. The chap is an absolute idiot. How he got elected amazes me. At one stage one of the panelists asked who can join the BNP, to which Griffin replied (something along the lines of), people who are really British. To which Bolton asked, how do you know if somebody is really British. Griffins reply, you just know by the look of them! He also called Britain a slum. Said no more Mosques should be allowed. He promotes a Christian Britain, but he does not attend church himself. I could go on and on. It was an amazing and worrying interview. I'm sure its on Youtube or the sky news website now!

    The BNP are going to benefit from the fact that a lot of indigenous brits or whatever you want to call them feel that there's an elephant in the room and the BNP are the only ones who are talking about it. You disenfranchise enough people and the extreme right will benefit.

    Thats's it in one as far as I'm concerned. I'm not a fan of our immigration "policy" but try to discuss it at least in public with any candidate running for government and you never get a different answer from any of them. Unfortunately that leaves things open to the first party that do offer a different line.

    In no way am I condoning the BNP, and I don't agree with their policy either, I won't say what I think of them because of abuse and the charter.

    I do think the world would be healthier if mainstream parties were willing to tackle the issue.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,238 ✭✭✭Rowley Birkin QC


    My god...I know people will see this as a protest vote but Griffin is a crass, racist idiot. Surely the Monster Raving Looney Party provided a better option.

    I can only wonder about the intelligence of those that voted for him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,743 ✭✭✭MrMatisse


    you would think that the experience of dealing with a certain german in the 1940's would show people where these types of views can lead.

    They get very little air time on British T.V usually. They will push for much more now and spread their toxic idology.

    I feel very sad for the old factory towns in the northwest. The atmosphere will be terrible. A lot of 2nd or third generation immigrants have basically been told there not wanted and arnt british.

    Ireland has it's own version of the BNP - they're called the DUP.

    Do they DUP openly support deportation of non-whites now?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,747 ✭✭✭✭wes


    Wow, its truely sad that so many people in the UK voted for the BNP, especially as so many of there country men died fighting (not to mention the various people in there empire of the time) people just like them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    I can certainly understand why people are supporting them and definitely appears to be saying what a lot of people in the UK are thinking.

    Ireland is also beginning to turn in the same direction re: immigration. A lot of people have simply had enough of it and want change and the first people to publicly support that are going to get the numbers.

    There's also a difference in being racist and being anti-immigration or anti-mass immigration as far as I'm concerned.

    I agree with alot of that. However you have to agree that the BNP are racist and can only do harm to to an anti-mass immigration policy. People like them are the reason you get called racist the minute you want to discuss immigration.

    Third term...he's been there since 2002, so he must be doing something right. Mind you, rather a man in a monkey suit that the besuited apes of the BNP.

    Anyone see that documentary last week (I think on Fiorsceal) about the fascist parties on the rise in Europe.......primarily Italy, Germany and France. Like Really-Stressed said how can people not see where this led before.

    The German Fascist party (can't remember the name) even have a youth movement with military training camps..........and I think they have a seat in the German Parliment.......

    Raymond O'Malley might disagree with you there Rb...

    I think you'll find that it's actually called the Sinn Féin IRA.

    Fair point although I think it might have been different if it were a published Libertas public policy and not just the opinion of one of their candidates.

    At the same time a lot of people are still questioning "Wtf do Libertas want?" whilst the BNP, in fairness to them, have laid out their policies for all to see and accept/reject at will.
