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.

Hi QS;

A few reasons really, mainly the immigration problem and Labours total head in the sand attitude...or more to the point.."couldn't give a toss" attitude.

When I voted for Labour in 97' I didn't vote them in so they could change, beyond recognition, entire parts of the country.

I thought Margaret Thatcher was a hard act to follow...but Labour have destroyed this country far more than she ever did....she was critisized for destroying the North through pit closures...and It's true that some villages have never recoverd, but when Labour got power in 97' there was hope, hope that things would change...

...be careful what you wish for..

Labour turned their backs on the white working class, they distanced themselves form the unions, (after TB promised to give them certain powers back..he lied) they concentrated on "minority" groups..(as they always have to be fair) ...they allowed immigration to get out of control putting a strain on all vital services, the white working classes now have to send their dc to schools where half the class can't even speak English..(that holds them back) plus costs £££££ in interpreters. white working class boys are now the biggest under achieving group in schools, that's because Labour doesn't give a shite about the white working class.

housing is an issue, jobs, everything....

Who has suffered most under labour..?

The people they are supposed to represent.

You can say, "yes, but they introduced WFTC"
Big deal...not enough.

And it's ok for middle-class lefties to say how wonderful mass immigration is...they don't have to live on a council estate full of them..it's very easy to be Liberal from your million pound town house in Chiswick.

And then there's the whole political correctness thing...you can't say anything about homosexuals or you're fucking shot...you can't say this, you can't say that...

You mention the slightest thing about immigration or homosexuals and you're a nazi....welcome to "tolerant" Britain

Bloody joke...

So, I have turned to the BNP...they will put British born people first, they will restore our culture, they will promote hetrosexuality, marriage..they will prioritze correctly.

LittleSilver · 03/05/2010 11:26

Yep another vote for it being a deal-breaker.

LittleSilver · 03/05/2010 11:28

Oh goodness me, I've just read the post above me. Wow. Rascism and homophobia all in one post. How distasteful.

foureleven · 03/05/2010 11:33

"the white working classes now have to send their dc to schools where half the class can't even speak English..(that holds them back)"

Evidence please?

My daughter has thrived in the multicultural environment at her school.

"white working class boys are now the biggest under achieving group in schools" Really? and youre sure this is to do with there being lots of different cultures in schools..? Nothing to do with parenting?

And please explain why 'white working class' should get all the attention. Last time I checked, many 'white working class' on council estates werent actually working at all. Just because you were born here and are white doesnt mean you have the right to anything extra.

Everything you have said smacks of a very ugly sense of entitlement. Sadly there is a lot of this in todays society.. And its all to easy to blame immigrants and use them as an excuse for laziness.

I agree that immigration has gone mad, of course we are all concerned about it. But the BNP are indeed racist, homophobic bigots. All they do is breed hate and ignorance.

LordVolAuVent · 03/05/2010 11:34

"white working class boys are now the biggest under achieving group in schools, that's because Labour doesn't give a shite about the white working class"

Nothing to do with their parents then? It is only the government/immigrants to blame?

slipperthief · 03/05/2010 11:35

Yep, I'd dump him and daftpunk too I think.

Flamesparrow · 03/05/2010 11:38

not really the point, but how can you be half jewish? Surely Judaism is a religion/life? You either are or you aren't... I'm not half catholic because my mum was.

(Genuinely asking here)

foureleven · 03/05/2010 11:38

And please explain why hetrosexuality should be promoted...????????? So that all the fabulous white working class people can contiinue to breed child upon child that they cant support that they will expect to be supported by the state?

oldandgreynow · 03/05/2010 11:40

I think many people, feel that labour party have let down the people they traditionally represent, ie the 'working class' for want of a better term by undercutting their earning power by allowing in so many migrant workers.They feel that the BNP are the only people who will promote the interests of the indiginous British worker.That is why they are picking up votes like your DPs -not because he is a racist.The BNP will not get in-everybody knows that and I think that is why many feel comfortable voting for them.To send a clear message to the other parties about immigration .Perhaps you need to walk a mile in his shoes before you judge him

runnybottom · 03/05/2010 11:46

Do you think we all live in million pound townhouses?

You and your "white working class boys" (not interested in the girls by the way? ) should get off your arses and grow up.
Poor us, the government only cares about the immigrants, boo fucking hoo.

promoting white heterosexual christian marriage.... fuck that for a lark.

What about the rest of it though?

posieparker · 03/05/2010 11:52

What has happened to this country? Can't say hateful things about homosexuals, can't tell racist jokes and you have to see a non white doctor, non white people drive the buses whilst many white families can't get enough money because they're too lazy to work....

oldandgreynow · 03/05/2010 11:52

4-11.I don't think the BNP will support children whose parent's can't? Not the way I read the manifesto anyway.They were going to raise personal tax allowances and do away with tax credits etc

daftpunk · 03/05/2010 11:53

White girls aren't under achieving like white boys are.

What do you mean they should get off their arses and grow up..?

... And why shouldn't I (or politicians) be concerned about poor white people...are you only worthy if you care about black people or homosexuals...?

posieparker · 03/05/2010 11:54

What we all need is to lose half of the NHS, send them all home, lose loads of our carers, bus drivers, etc and watch an episode of Cor Blimey(?)

The only people I would like to see the back of is the voices on the other end of a call centre!!

posieparker · 03/05/2010 11:55

the point is you shouldn't select one demographic to care about, that's not going to govern a country.

RunawayWife · 03/05/2010 11:55

OP I think the last thing you should be worried about is how he votes....

He is controlling
He is a bully
He has been removed from his job for bullying

if these things are not reason enough for you to walk away then you deserve each other

Bena1 · 03/05/2010 11:57

bin him. he's either racist or just plain strange.

daftpunk · 03/05/2010 12:02

BNP education policy

If you can take the time to read it, you will see that the BNP's attitude to disabled people is the complete opposite to the myths posted on here..

They only want to educate the white christian indigenous brits though. When they aren't spanking them.
What will all the other children do?

DP as a parent it is my job to support my children, it is my job to "promote" marriage and lifestyle, it is my job to see to it they get a good education and work hard at school not the job of the government.

Yes I would love to see my children with good jobs, nice homes, married with children...but most of all I want them to be happy and healthy.

I do not expect the tax payer to raise my children, I do not expect the schools to turn them out as geniuses without the help and support of home, the problem in this country is not the migration here of decent hard working people, it is the under class of all colours already here, mostly home grown that think they are owed a living, can have 6 kids by 6 men and never work, can flip the bird at the education system and fuck about all the way through school cause good old mugging tax payer will pay their dole money when they can't get a job because they can't read. And these are the sort of people who say they can't get a job cause of the immigrants. I know who I would rather live next door to

daftpunk · 03/05/2010 12:15

Yes but RB...the lefties want to take control from parents by forcing faith schools to teach homosexuality as natural....(it wont happen because the catholic church complain too much)...so what is the point of me, as a parent telling my children that homosexuality is wrong..(because that's what catholics believe)..if 2 hours later at school..some dick head Liberal teacher is telling them it's completely natural....?

daftpunk · 03/05/2010 12:15

sorry..RW...

Flamesparrow · 03/05/2010 12:16

Thank you SGM. I think I get it. I'm trying to think of something else that would work as an example of a similar thing but am stumped
