I heard him being interviewed this morning on the Today programme.

Firstly, it turns out he's not racist or against immigration! Apparently, he says it's ok for French people to come here (there's not that many that want to so its ok). AND he says that Irish people can come here too because they're really all British! So that's nice. I was a bit confused because I thought they'd spent all those years bombing us because they didn't want to be British but I guess I've got that all wrong.

He's not going to let Algerian asylum seekers come though, but I don't think it matters because they'll just get killed where they are in their own country so that won't be a problem for them much longer.

And the best thing is... he's going to give £50,000 to anyone who's not "pure British" to leave the country and go back to where they came from! How cool is that! So I'm now deciding whether to go back to my Great-Grandmother's origins in Russia, or my Great Grandfather's in Finland. Now, apparently this money is going to come from what he called stupid anti-Climate Change projects so although much of Russia and pretty much all of Finland is a bit chilly, as the climate changes because they money is being spent on me, they'll get warmer and I'll be all toasty!

Brilliant!

DP & I are both 2nd gen immigrants, Caribbean (her)& Italian (me)... do we have time to have another DC each before this all kicks in so we can up our cash?

"Who do you know who agrees with every single word of every single Labour policy..?

You vote for a party on a few core issues....most people do anyway. "

Like I say I could not vote for a party with even a single policy that I abhored.

BNP want to bring back capital punishment
Bring back flogging for petty crime
Bring back beating children in schools

These are not minor points. They are extremely fundamental. They are core issues. Do you want to live in a violent and brutal regime? If the answer is yes, vote BNP.

I can only assume that you agree with these policies DP. Oh no hold on you said, you didn't agree with corporal punishment in schools. But you will allow the children to be beaten, if it means we can chuck a few darkies out. Well that seems fair enough, then

NG says RoI "counts" as british for his fascist policies

?

wonder if NG has some irish relatives

TheHeathenOfSuburbia · 30/04/2010 14:31

Ah, scottishmummy, you missed the page in the BNP manifesto where 'Eire' will be 'welcomed' into unity with the UK to re-form the British Isles.

I shit you not.

What could possibly go wrong with that little beauty?

daftpunk · 30/04/2010 14:32

Plenty of teachers in the BNP...quite high up aswell..

noddyholder · 30/04/2010 14:33

Sorry meant he will send her dh home!

scottishmummy · 30/04/2010 14:35

bnp manipulation of geography and holocaust denial.nice

cambridge degree.suits.well enunciated.racist through and through

proof you cannae polish a turd

NG had a very privileged upbringing.....son of a Tory councillor...I wonder why he choose this political path..?

He could have made it in any political party..

He is obv a man of principles

thecatatemygymsuit · 30/04/2010 15:01

Maybe because he's an embittered, paranoid weasel with no social skills?

Let's face it, happy, secure, confident, fulfilled people do NOT become hate-peddling racists and Holocaust-deniers. It's quite straightforward.

Rafi · 30/04/2010 15:13

DP... if your DH is mixed race, would you encourage him to take the money?

posieparker · 30/04/2010 15:53

Principles? Anyone can be a man of principles....Abu Hamza has principles.

cornsilk · 30/04/2010 16:19

He is obviously a man of pies. Not sure about principles.

daftpunk · 30/04/2010 16:22

Looks have never been overly important to me...I love people's minds....I'm not shallow.

Rafi; No, we will not be leaving the country, not for any money....plus it is only my dh's grandfather who wasn't born in the UK.

noddyholder · 30/04/2010 16:25

You insult your own children by supporting those racists DP.they are half your dh and he is mixed race.But obviously some immigrants are ok eg your dh!You seem to select which policies you like much as you pick and choose which bits of the catholic faith suit you

Lulumaam · 30/04/2010 16:34

how can you love the mind of a man who is so hateful? so obviously scared of people who are differetn in any way? someone who is threatened by women wanting equal rights?

putting the immigration and holocaust denial issues aside, how can you support a man and a party so hateful to women ?

He is not hateful, & he isn't threatened by anyone, I just said he could have taken the easy route politically, joined the conservative party and just got on with it, but he didn't. Do you think he likes all the hatred directed towards him..? Do you think his life is easy..?

I just have to look at how people react to me;

70% of people on MN totally ignore me
20% just take the piss
9.5 genuinely hate me
0.5 think I'm probably not that bad

Not brilliant statistics

You don't support the BNP for fun.

I'm just trying to support British born people...to give them 1st choice, and to preserve our culture...I don't know what's wrong with that.

scottishmummy · 30/04/2010 16:56

dp bnp wouldn't differentiate ancestry
they'd pack your dh off.too black.not white.sod off.doubt they'd be ohhing and ahhing about well only one grandparent was black.thats too black for bnp purpose

and when you have mixed children they will come after them too

so you support bnp policies if enforced upon someone else, just not you.funny how that works eh

someone else with black heritage can be packed off.no not your dh of course.but fair enough if someone else dh is?

daftpunk · 30/04/2010 16:58

NG has 3 categories for people

A; B; and C;

daftpunk · 30/04/2010 16:59

Not good if you're a "C"

scottishmummy · 30/04/2010 17:04

cut the poor widdle me.poor widdle nicky act.and making up statistics to bolster your cause is a bit daft

only 87.5%of statistics only are relevant to weetabix eaters.the other 12.5% are made up to support an online point

me me i want a go with dat stats

I just have to look at how people react to me;

70% of people on MN totally ignore me
20% just take the piss
9.5 genuinely hate me
0.5 think I'm probably not that scottish

oh i like this game

so dp stop the put upon digressions and discuss bnp policies eg
how you manage to sidestep them by saying no not my dh they wont want him carted off

daftpunk · 30/04/2010 17:10

Now you've made me laugh and put me off...
