To think that Nick Griffin is misunderstood and actually a nice chap?

[carrotsarenottheonlyvegetable]

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!

Lol...I think the words.."nazi" and "fucking" might have been mentioned...

Sue would be out of a job...that's a defo.

Kaloki;

I answered you last night....

Big long post...lost of words in it....

No, you didn't.

I'll break it down into the relevant questions for you.

First of all there's this one..
Put it another way, would you be offended if someone told you that you couldn't marry who you wanted because of some totally irrational feeling they had? Say for example you had different colour hair or eyes to your husband.
Would you agree with it?

And then this one...
And if the also suggested that your marriage was somehow freakish/unnatural, would you be offended?

Oh god my typos.....getting worse

Ok,

Kaloki, I like you...I really do, but you have to accept that marrying a Black man or a Muslim is on a totally different level to marrying someone with different colour eyes or hair.

And if someone suggested my marriage was freakish/unmatural I wouldn't be offended, because I don't really care what people think of me.

My parents gave me a hard time over dh, they didn't think he was good enough for me because he lived on a council estate and was being brought up without a father...my parents were, and still are...very snobbish.

Muslim I grant you. But a black person can be the same as you in every way (apart from the racism), they could have the same views, same religion etc. So the only difference is then the skin colour, which has about as much impact as their hair colour.

I could fall in love with a black man I suppose, (I was in love with an Asian girl at school for years).....but I would never marry a black man....not just because I have never met one I'm sexually attracted to...(South American/Spanish...is as dark as I'd go).....I just think live is easier if you stick to what's expected of you.....Plenty of white men I could love...why make life difficult..?

Sorry have we just whizzed back in time to the 1950s and I didnt notice?

When black men were exotic and 'forbidden fruit'

My OH is about as exotic as a wet weekend in Bognor. I love him very much but forbidden and fruity he isnt. Nor am I a white 'trophy' (pmsl at the very idea).

We are both working class, both grew up in north london, both come from families with parents who were married for years. Both fathers were skilled labourers, mums both worked, we both went to the same type of schools etc etc blah blah blah. As Kaloki has pointed out its possible to hold the same views as someone of a different colour to yourself - and we do. We agree about the importance of tolerance and accepting difference in others. We have the same political beliefs and even work in the same area. We agree on parenting issues and all other important aspects of family life.

The biggest difference is that I listened to new wave as a teenager and he listened to early rap and reggae.

I am quite sure we are not some sort of freakish anomaly and there are thousands of ordinary, boring mixed couples like us.

Why the hell should anyone object to our union? Why should it offend anyone? Why is the BNP so against it?

"Forbidden fruit" ?.....it's nothing to do with that, I just don't fancy black men...I could have had a 100 of them if I'd wanted.

"why make life difficult..?"

Why is mixed race relationships "making life difficult"?

I have to say that as a Christian I hate the fact that DP goes on about "white christians" and that catholics and protestants ideally should stay apart. I find it very hard to understand that anyone who is a Christian can have sympathy with the BNP. I really dislike the idea that NG seems to encourage that the BNP are the only ones to defend Christians. Urggh.
Jesus was JEWISH. He was not white anglo-saxon either.
He would have been deported. It makes me ashamed to be british.
this however is a great site and worth a look. Nothing British has lots of info about arguing against the BNP and all their rubbish.
(it is run by some ex-tories but still quite good IMO!)

Who started this thread anyway..?

A namechanger..? why do they start threads like this and never come back..?

Ahhh LG, there you are...last time I saw you you'd disappeared so far up Aitch's arse all I could see were your feet....

Is that just your opinion, ..?

Ykwim.

she's a troll, don't engage.

dp isnt a troll.

oh yes she is... you tried your best last night sm but really, she's a troll and best left to her own devices.

Is a troll someone who posts to be deliberately inflammatory?

I always think that they should take up cross-stitch to keep their fingers busy.

yup, picture. she wasn't always this way, used to be contrary, but bright and a good laugh. now she's on the needle all the time, v boring.

i keep my hand busy stretching to reach the remote control and tap tapp on pc

No DP is not a troll she is a regular poster, just because she supports the BNP which is totally un MN does not make her a troll.

SM;

Thanks
