Really angry that the postman delivered a BNP election leaflet this morning

[MissM]

He handed it to us with the rest of our post (included a parcel so he rang the bell). Why is this racist cr*p allowed to be delivered with the post? Obviousy they're too spineless to put their hatred through people's letterboxes themselves. Am thinking of complaining to the post office.

i do sometimes think that we're not allowed to argue about immigration sensibly therefore people will go to extremes through fear. (does that make sense)

I know my geography is shite but I do know that there aren't 80 million people in Turkey never mind 80 million Muslims.

I wish one would come round now, I fancy a fight after watching Ch4 News.

Apparently some postmen are refusing to deliver them. See here.

Some BNP guy in London allegedly said that raping a woman is like force feeding a woman chocolate cake. That terrifies me. If they ever get in power, women will be back to square one.

Laurie - you are right, 71.5 million in total according to 2008 census. Nonsense.... (grumbles in the corner)

I saw the broadcast last night and felt far more uneasy about them than normal because they were trying to appeal to the "working man" without being overtly racist. I do worry that it could take a lot of people n (although just had a quick look at their website and see that it is still as disgusting as ever). We haven't had any of their leaflets but then I live in an area where they don't have a hope in hell of getting any votes..

That would hinge entirely on the definition used of sensibly I think

the BNP are dangerous. If you cannot see this I can only assume you live in a non-working class area. generally interesting stuff

I got my leaflet in the post this morning too. I'm not at all happy about it. It legitimises these thugs.

Is it really part of being a democratic society? Hate mongering like this? Because that's all it is. And it's total and utter BS too.

"80 million Turks the right to swamp Britain"

"Because we've earned the right - Trafalgar, The Somme, Dunkirk, D-Day, The Falklands" - what a load of shite. My relatives fought in the WWII against first class A-holes like this.

This utter hysteria about immigration really gets my goat too. It is total hysteria.

Well if all the Turks come here perhaps the BNP and their supporters can all go off to empty Turkey and start their own little 'master race'

I agree Winky, my grandparents fought against this type of nonsense, problem is, it's easily forgotten.

I'll try mine again

That would depned on the definition of sensible, SEA

interesting stuff contained in this review of UL anti racial hate legisloation

Winky I guess the thing si that its is up to a limit above which it is illegal. As Is aid before mine has yet to arrive so can't judge, but if we feel its too much we do have a duty to go to the POlice and complain but how many of us actually would?

Have had my tea and am back to the fray! Am a little freaked by what you say Peachy - I don't need any more stress in my life either! Don't know what I'd do if I was a postie - would find it very very hard. Tinker I see your point. The BNP are too clever - they probably know what 'officially' constitutes racism and what doesn't. Perhaps those quotes incite racial hatred? Or intolerance? Or something?!

If they came canvassing to my door, they'd get pretty short shrift. Scumbags.

Where the hell do they think the majority of the British population comes from? Centuries and centuries and centuries of immigration.

MORONS.

Sorry, it really gets my goat.

Good grief Peachy that's depressing - seems pretty much anything can be said.

my goat has also been got - as it were.

Yes, I think they're more in danger of inciting racial hatred because people (BNP supporters) are too think to be unable to separate "Muslims" from "Asians"

thick not "think"

Just was thinking though, if you substituted 'Muslim' for 'black' or 'Jewish' in those leaflets surely then you could be legally accused of racism? And you could argue that 'black' isn't a race either.

Don't know why I'm bothering with all this reasoning really - they wouldn't. A-holes. I hated all that Dunkirk the Somme D-Day nonsense as well. Feel my blood boiling on behalf of all those old WW2 veterans.

Well my Grandad WW2 vet would agree with them

which is why nobody much lets them near their kids these days

however it is pretty shitty, can only imagine how you would feel if you were in any way a non white / Christian WW2 vet especially

Like the anonymous airman that fathered my FIl reputedly.

Danmedly shameful

Aparently they can refuse to deliver them - see Point 6 on this page.

Interesting stuff RB. I suppose it depends on how sympathetic management would be.

My goat has been gotten too.

I hate how the leaflet has a picture of an NHS doctor on the back with a comment on how he votes for BNP because the service has been inundated with foreign workers. The impression from the leaflet is one of 'oh look, clever people like doctors vote for us so we must be good eh?'

It is very worrying.

How dare they use previous wars to back up their existence. Like someone else said below, wars were fought against people like them and not for them. How can they get away with that?

Unfortunately I too am resigned to the fact that they are allowed their free speech

Yes but does free speech mean you are allowed to talk bull?

I guess it does!

You CAN complain to the post office that they are delivering material which could incite racial hatred - it's illegal to do so. I remember when there were such leaflets being delivered here in Scotland, and there was a campaign for people to complain to the post office en mass to try to stop it. Can't remember the outcome!
