OMFG BNP election broadcast

I'm not in Britain now because so I can't get a feel for things there, but I dunno, I'm starting to get a bit worried about BNP. I know only alcohol-pickled meat-heads would vote for BNP, but there are rather a lot of them around as far as I remember. I worked in a pub and the racism and sexism I'd start hearing as the men there got drunk was incredible.

We must be sure not to give them any power then, since they would then class themselves as racist.

Interview with Nick Griffin in the Independent today;
"Nick, what is a racist?"
"...I think that the definition the ethnic minorities use is prejudice plus power. If that definition is used, then self-evidently, the BNP cannot be racist because we do not have any power"

No wonder he defines the BNP as non-racist

dp, if you lived in the 50's, wouldn't you have had a bit of trouble getting a job and a house? What with being irish and all?

I am ashamed that there was a time in our past that it was deemed acceptable to refuse to employ a person because of the colour of their skin. There have been many incidents in the past 60 years that have been shameful for Brits.

Does not mean that I love my country less. Quite the opposite in fact. I am proud that we have moved on.

It is possible to be proud of the country that you were born in, and still feel shame for the mistakes that our country made.

Riven;.....

You must be the only "anything goes" Muslim in the world....

How many Muslim countries welcome change and diversity?.....do you think Afghanistan will have gay lapdancing clubs in the near future..?....do you think they will be hiring Graeme Norton to read their news..?

Why do you say "Thankfully"...you sound almost ashamed of our past.

I wish I'd lived in the 40's and 50's....at least we had an identity back then.

DP
Yes, but things have moved on since the 60's. Thankfully.

There are perhaps certain traits that many Brits have, but no symptoms. And being white is definitely not one of them.

How does one decide who is British?

You didn't see women reading the news back then either in the main - the first permanant female newsreader wasn't appointed until 1974

There are symptons of Britishness.

Who did The BBC have on the Radio and TV in the 30's/ 40's/ 50's and even 60's....upper class white people......did you see Somalians or Muslims reading the news back then...?

Riven
Sorry, we could perhaps forgive the lack of queuing skills, but soya milk in tea? No, you will have to go.

Did you hear that Nick is giving repatriation money though? You should apply for some of his £18billion.

lol @ queueing.

That man's hair is scary.

Hmm, Riven. Have you any other symptoms?

Do you apologise if someone steps on your foot?

I suspect he was speechless at the statement that there are symptoms of Britishness, one of which is being white (as defined by the BBC).

Why does the BBC get to decide? And what other symptoms are there?

If you can hum Jerusamlem you are British.

If you like milk in your tea.

If you are good at queuing.

Not sure why JP was speechless, but I've always thought he was an arrogant idiot,

Ok, watched the PPB now.

It looks as if it were cobbled together by some 6th form work experience pupils with a camcorder.

Rousing music, clips of "normal" people being interviewed, miscellaneous scary Muslim woman (that one was stolen from the Swiss), bombers, soldiers (who I do hope will recognise themselves and sue the arse off the BNP), and Nick making weird nodding gestures. He seems to be constantly agreeing with himself.

Sorry, but how can anyone take him seriously?

The answers to Paxman's queries on how we decide who is a "indigenous Brit" are just hilarious.

Pax: So the matter of their skin colour is neither here nor there?

Griffon: No, it is. Because one of the symptoms of being English or Scottish or Irish or Welsh is being what the BBC would call white.

Pax:

So to summarise, RSC...

You believe immigrants are a slave class and yet simultaneously able to elect to be lawyers and accountants.

You also believe "Brits" - by which I assume you mean white people (am I wrong about that? hope so...) are stupider than immigrants, which is why we have modified our exam system because that's the only way they would get into university.

Racism exists throughout the UK. It doesn't help things when papers like the Daily Mail reinforce the popular view that the British are letting in so many immigrants because the Brits are too nice.

The real reason our government encourages immigration is to provide the UK with cheap labour. Immigrants are treated as a virtual slave class so that Brits can be given jobs managing them. Often the Brits are much more ignorant and less educated than the unfortunate people they manage.

There is very little social mobility for immigrants under our Labour regime. It is no coincidence that immigrants choose professions such as medicine and accountancy because it is only the professional exam system that gives them a sporting chance of competing on a level playing field.

Immigration should have given the Brits a kick up the arse to start taking education seriously. However, the only way it has been possible to get a large number of them through Higher Education has been to replace a lot of exams with coursework assessment where colouring-in is rewarded rather than dislaying an understanding of difficult concepts. The result is that a lot of younger people have had to pay for their own indoctrination instead of getting their minds developed.

Peter Phillips - BNP
Mr Phillips is 63 and lives in Reigate where he runs his own landscape architect practise. He grew up in Edgware and attended Newcastle University.
He gained valuable experience as a young man when he worked as a VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) volunteer in Kenya designing low cost housing and a school for a village.
But he still has one ambition he would love to achieve - outside the political arena.
He said: "I always wanted to design a railway station but the nearest I came was the booking hall at Swanwich Railway Station."
He says he was a member of the Labour party at university but came to the conclusion that socialism did not work, adding: "I lost all faith in the Conservatives during John Major's time in office."
But it was the 2001 amendment to the Race Relations Act that he says caused him to make the final decision to join the BNP.

What do you think about him? I am speechless.
