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!

Well I was born here, English is my first and only language, went to school here, uni here and worked and payed my taxes before being a STAHM England is my home as far as I am concerned.

I'm not doing the "poor me" thing....It just annoys me a bit when I explain things but some people just refuse to understand.....I will take being called a nazi, a fascist, whatever...I have come to expect it....it's all bollox, but there is nothing I can do to change people's minds.....

My dh will not be kicked out of the country as he is not a criminal or illegal immigrant.......and if I was racist, I would never have married a mixed race man.

scottishmummy · 30/04/2010 21:51

dp stick to policy.my understanding is your mixed race husband=bye byeski from uk under bnp.too black.not white.and your mixed race kids too if you have any

so lets not digress from bnp policy. i never get to hear it directly from a voter.so do explain.why you reckon your mixed race man wouldn't be carted out by bnp,but others would

go on dp. i am genuinely interested

runnybottom · 30/04/2010 21:51

So why do you love a nazi and vote for a racist party?
And quit the guff about him being misunderstood.

ChazsBarmyArmy · 30/04/2010 21:53

Or perhaps its "currently" a completely voluntary scheme. Perhaps after Combat 18 have trashed your house and abused your kids you will happily "volunteer" to go almost anywhere rather than stay in the UK.

After all, historically we have never seen that sort of behaviour from a fascist government.

seeker · 30/04/2010 21:57

"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."

So. Explain to me what you want to do to preserve our culture, and why you think it needs preserving.

daftpunk · 30/04/2010 21:57

I've just told you why....my dh isn't an illegal immigrant or an immigrant involved in criminal activity...

daftpunk · 30/04/2010 22:00

sorry, that was to SM

TheHeathenOfSuburbia · 30/04/2010 22:02

DP - "I don't know how many times I have answered you on this"

er... none. Because you always evade the question, or ignore the point.

scottishmummy · 30/04/2010 22:03

ok,so on that basis can you see a problemo dp. you say "my dh isn't an illegal immigrant or an immigrant involved in criminal activity.."

hes still too black.not white for bnp,dont they want pure british

or will you agitate from within that other respectable mixed,black,indian,non uk individuals etc living here are given same treatment as you wish your husband to receive

runnybottom · 30/04/2010 22:06

But you do realise that NG has personally spoken out against mixed race marriages, and believes that non-caucasians are not British, even if they were born here? And that voluntary repatriation is intended for non-whites born in Britain?

So your beloved thinks your marriage is bad for society and that your husband should leave. And presumably your children too.

You don't have any problem with that?

daftpunk · 30/04/2010 22:08

Seeker;

I am concerned that the UK will become an Islamic country if we don't do something now....

daftpunk · 30/04/2010 22:09

My dh is not black...his grandfather was Cuban.....my kids are white

scottishmummy · 30/04/2010 22:11

dp,can you answer the views of ng on mixed marriage and your particular circumstances. your circumstances are at odd with bnp policy.they would cart your husband offsky,too black.not british

why do you think your husband should be spared but presumably no one else husband who is bnp non white

noddyholder · 30/04/2010 22:11

Poor dp stop picking on her

lowenergylightbulb · 30/04/2010 22:13

DP - but what about the links to white supremacists? What about the links between BNP and C18...

Open your bloody eyes woman.

TheHeathenOfSuburbia · 30/04/2010 22:13

So all this, 'I'm not racist, my husband is mixed race', was a little bit of an exaggeration?

ChazsBarmyArmy · 30/04/2010 22:14

Why do you think the UK will become an Islamic country? I am a Christian married to Muslim and look he even lets me use the internet
and sometimes we go to the supermarket and buy British food like fish fingers. However, I am yet to get him to eat Marmite so maybe that's his first step on the path to creating the Islamic state of GB. However, I am sneakily subverting his plan by feeding Marmite to the kids.

daftpunk · 30/04/2010 22:15

Actually, I might go and live in Cuba...living under Communists can't be any worse than living under Labour....

runnybottom · 30/04/2010 22:15

Ooh, cuban, not that white though?

You big liar. Mixed race my arse.

scottishmummy · 30/04/2010 22:15

am asking a bnp supporter to explain policy.that is exploration and discussion

not in school no one is virtually pulling her hair

am exploring dp incongruent views and bnp

if you must comment noddy make it constructive and informed

daftpunk · 30/04/2010 22:17

I think you'll find some Cubans are black...so my dh is mixed race...

noddyholder · 30/04/2010 22:18

Sm you are obviously unaware of my views on DP I WAS JOKING She is a racist bigot and i wqould love to se the back of her because there is NO POINT enetering into discuaaion with her as she doesn't have the tools to comprehend what she is advocating and always ends up with a serious case of the poor me's

noddyholder · 30/04/2010 22:18

Ignore typos WINE

runnybottom · 30/04/2010 22:19

Cos hes one eight cuban? and that one ancestor may or may not be black?
Get a fucking grip.

Either way, answer the question. NG says mixed marriages very very bad. Do you agree?
