that's it really, I was really shocked and went into a bit of a rant. I can't believe someone I've been intimate with and been close to would vote bnp.

OP posts:

rdt,was telling us error of our ways for having temerity to discuss bnp .when it bores her so

and dp pointed out politics/elections most pertinent at mo

RowlfTheDog · 03/05/2010 00:07

It's not politics though. It's the daftpunk show. I really look forward to it ending soon.

That's not me being editor. That's me expressing my opinion.

daftpunk i would love to have discussion with you about your conversion from Labour to BNP (quite a leap!) but i fear RDT's head might explode.

I too am fairly disolllusioned with labour, the war and the economy being the main things i have a problem with but to go as far as the BNP seems to have missed several steps.

ravenAK · 03/05/2010 00:12

There's a distinct atmos here because dh is threatening to vote Lib Dem, never mind BNP!

Further discussion is now banned by mutual consent, after I called him a 'splitter', Life of Brian style.

Would I leave if he was going to vote BNP?

On the 'Things That Would Make Me Leave My Dh' list, it's up there with a hard drive full of snuff porn, or his having failed to mention the other marriage & family he's running concurrently with this one, or his last 8 wives having gone AWOL in mysterious circs just after he took out hefty life insurance on them...

It's pretty fundamental. I couldn't be polite to a BNP supporter, never mind married to one. Ugh.

KillerCleavage · 03/05/2010 00:12

Dittany and MissMoopy - we'll already said all that. There must have been significant evidence against him to have been sacked.

OP - if he feels he's been unfairly dismissed is he taking it to an Employment Tribunal? And if not why not?

scottishmummy · 03/05/2010 00:12

rtd,rest of us were contributing and posting.you turned up yawned.inferred conspiracy.suprised you didnt say
not like ole days

search the archives

carolondon · 03/05/2010 00:12

susia please come and tell us when you have dumped him and we will give you a big cheer.

RowlfTheDog · 03/05/2010 00:14

I have asked for that last post to be withdrawn- I'm just being rude, you're right. Sorry everyone. Time for bed I think.

daftpunk · 03/05/2010 00:16

RTD;

Don't worry about it man..fgs...

you didn't need to delete anything...

scottishmummy · 03/05/2010 00:17

rtd,no one remembers who said what.doesn't merit deletion

APassionateWoman · 03/05/2010 09:05

Going from voting Labour to BNP just shows you are a bit dim. Come on! Why tiptoe around it? If yo vote for fascists you are either a fascist or not bright enough to understand the nature of the party you are voting for.

PfftTheMagicDragon · 03/05/2010 09:12

I agree with Mary further up. I have similar feeling about this issue to infidelity. If I were to find out that DH was voting BNP/having an affair, what would concern me most would be the fact that I obviously didn't know him at all.

I could not stay with a bigot.

runnybottom · 03/05/2010 09:34

DP seems to think that voting for the BNP is just about the vote, a small thing every 4 years. She fails to appreciate that it is a outward expression of the fundamental aspects of your character. It says who you are and what you support.

I've been with my DP for 15 years and have 3 children, I love him more than anything. If he voted BNP, he'd be dead to me. I'd never speak to him again. End of.

daftpunk · 03/05/2010 09:45

RB;

I was kinda joking about the every 4 yrs thing.

I know who you support politically says alot about you as a person, I couldn't live with a 100% leftie...he'd get on my nerves too much....right-wingers seem to have a bit more personality...and are more down to earth and sensible.

cornsilk · 03/05/2010 09:50

I'm starting to find all thses BNP threads a bit suspect.

daftpunk · 03/05/2010 09:55

In what way..?

cornsilk · 03/05/2010 09:58

There has been an awful lot of BNP discussion going on. There is only one BNP voter on this site as far as I know. What is fuelling it all?

daftpunk · 03/05/2010 10:05

I don't know..(honestly)..I haven't started a single BNP thread since I've been on MN, I'm not allowed to namechange..(haven't been able to for over 6 months)....so they're nothing to do with me.

I just think some people on here have a morbid fascination with the BNP...abit like they have with the Daily Mail...

But I think this thread is genuine

biddysmama · 03/05/2010 10:10

he'd be chucked..

shockers · 03/05/2010 10:18

chickydee has also stated an interest on another thread.

OP... if you were to have children with this man, would you be happy for him to speak in a racist way in front of them?

foureleven · 03/05/2010 10:25

He's obviously very badly educated. Which doesnt exactly make him marriage material. I think if you have different political views as it makes for interesting conversations and debates but how can you een have a conversation about something so indefensible?

QS · 03/05/2010 10:27

Daftpunk. Can I ask you. What made you decide to vote BNP?

Gay40 · 03/05/2010 10:43

The BNP are a party for racist, homophobic bigots who are diametrically opposed to any form of equality. If you are not a white hetereosexual male, you do not count. I would not have a BNP supporter as a friend, never mind a partner.

Oh yes - he said that women like sex and they like chocolate cake so rape is just like force feeding a woman chocolate cake

Im diabetic so force feeding me chocolate cake would be attempted murder no?
