Yes.. heinous "Thread about a Thread" crime, lol... but seriously...

AIBU to think people should either opt out of the leafleting or just shut up and throw them in the bin if they're not interested?

Look stripeyarse, yes the BNP have grasped that particular bull with both horns, but you'd have to be pretty thick with a capital T if you didn't think they were racists. How utterly, utterly twattish to vote for a bunch of racist hooligans because you think that immigrants are going to cost you your job!

If all the immigrants left the UK we'd be fucked. They contribute a shitload in taxes and are actually helping to get this country out of recession. Whereas there are some wankish WHITE people who sit on their arses all day claiming benefits and watching Kyle Shitforbrains. Those are the people you want to be targeting, not hard working immigrants who keep this country going.

You have some very thick mates.

Massive tangent but I noticed yesterday that there is someone on the leaked membership list called "James Brown"!

I bet he gets a fair bit of stick at rallies and conventions ...

pingping · 21/05/2009 14:09

The worse thing is alot of people will think the same as Stripy and vote for them if they ever got into power The UK would not be a very nice place to live in.

The BNP are very sly and clever they use the current climate in there favour People are at there lowest with Job losses and with the the sitution on expenses so your notice the BNP will promote British jobs for British people.
Reality is though if they got into power anyone that wasn't English and White would be subject to who knows what.

They remind me very much of Hitler he did the same thing to get into power When Germany was very poor he used this to his advantages and look at the things he did once he got into power.

KingRolo · 21/05/2009 14:13

Pingping - that's why I don't like their stuff being delivered by the postman.

StripeyOss · 21/05/2009 14:13

pingping - thats what i'm saying, but you said it much better.

other than the 'think like me' thing, lol.. i am not a member of BNP and NEVER will be, i just know quite a few people locally who've been sucked in by them because of the job problems.

BNP voters lately are not racist, they're just very misguided.

Stripey have you even looked on there website I have just had a look and the whole thing is vile

StripeyOss · 21/05/2009 14:14

MIFLAW - I noticed that a few weeks ago when someone posted a link to him on facebook!

Moaning is moaning.

Why on earth people should not be able to discuss whether they wish our postal service to deliver certain material, whilst you on the other hand should be able to moan about them moaning, I'm not sure!!

MIFLAW · 21/05/2009 14:16

And your point is, caller?

Incidentally, I did not "invoke" Godwin's law. You did.

What I did was exemplify it.

Stop changing the subject or trying to score points, get yourself a dictionary, look up both these words, then, while you're there, look up "nationalist", "fascist", "racist", "bigoted" and "discriminatory" and see if any of them ring bells with regards to the policies and stated aims of the British National Party.

Rhubarb · 21/05/2009 14:16

No, they're not misguided, they're just thick.

Sorry but there's no excuse. The Press has gone on and on about the racist vile the BNP trot out. Everyone and his dog knows what racist cunts they are. Hopefully after what the Leading Tosser Nick Eriksen said about rape, more people know what scumbags they are too.

There can be no one on this planet who thinks that the BNP are misunderstood. There are, however, a fair few closet racists who are too thick to realise that what is wrong with this country is staring at them through the mirror.

KingRolo · 21/05/2009 14:16

Stripy - so you agree with pingping that the BNP are like Hitler but say they are not racist? Was Hitler not racist then?

StripeyOss · 21/05/2009 14:17

yes i have and i AGREE with you that it is!

I dont like the BNP

I do think the BNP organisation IS RACIST

I do not think everyone who votes for them is... and that is all i was saying.

OP posts:
Rhubarb · 21/05/2009 14:18

stripey - that makes you pretty dim too.

twinmam · 21/05/2009 14:19

Surely if all this lovely people you know are not racist and just choosing to ignore this side of the BNP then this makes them even more cunt-like, ie they know it's wrong but they're ignoring it to suit their own ends. Delightful.

memoo · 21/05/2009 14:20

But stripey you said "if you think everyone in the BNP is a 'vile racist' then you clearly have some issues and need to go educate yourself"

StripeyOss · 21/05/2009 14:22

how does realising not everyone who votes for them isnt racist make me dim?

The ones voting for them are Dim.

pingping · 21/05/2009 14:24

I'm sorry but its still racial hate towards PEOPLE Human beings that have come over here to work and if people are simple enough to blame Foreign workers for the current state of the country because a leaflet told them so.. They shouldn't be allowed to vote. I agree with MIFLAW.

Most racists are very thick people that can't see past the colour of skin or a different langauage that is spoken.

I for one work with a whole heap of Polish, Brazilian, Spanish, South African people and they are all very hardworking they do jobs that I wouldn't and couldn't do most of them have degrees in medicine etc but do come here to either earn some money or to start a whole new life.

I am sure a few posts back you said you do vote did I misread that

KingRolo · 21/05/2009 14:24

It's been said already, but anyone voting for them who is not racist must be thick as pig shit.

StripeyOss · 21/05/2009 14:25

twinam - yes it does.. but thats their choice, not mine.

memoo i have clarified that repeatedly.

OP posts:
MIFLAW · 21/05/2009 14:25

Everyone voting for them IS racist.

Unless they don't understand what "racist" means, in which case they shouldn't even be allowed the pencil, never mind the vote.

Rhubarb · 21/05/2009 14:27

Stripeyarse, you are very good at backtracking!

You say that not everyone who votes for the BNP is racist. That makes you slightly thick too - for believing that shite. Of course they're not all racist dear! They're just proud working people concerned about their jobs going to immigrants! Yes, I can see that now.

Bollocks!

StripeyOss · 21/05/2009 14:28

I vote.. but i dont vote BNP.

Kingrolo, i never claimed they were intelligent or anything other than 'not all racists'

OP posts:
twinmam · 21/05/2009 14:28

And surely using Nazi Germany as an example of how a country beset by economic difficulties can turn to an extremist racist organisation in order to 'solve' those problems is a pretty sensible comparison to draw, Godwin's Law or not. Is it still Godwin's Law if it is a genuine sensible comparison? And people who vote for a racist party because they want a scapegoat for their problems are just as racist as those who hate others because of the colour of their skin, IMO. If you can't see that then you are most certainly dim.

Kimi · 21/05/2009 14:30

People may not like what they have to say but they have a right to say it, its called free speech and we are lucky to have it.

No one makes you read the trash they print just bin it.

My friend and I once went to vote and a BNP member was at the polling station, my friend voted then went up and shook the blokes hand saying good job keep the black b* out.

It was so funny and got in to the local papers, the look on the BNP blokes face was hilarious because my friend is Jamaican and black.

Not the postmans fault he has to deliver it.
Bin it and forget about it
