Black and asian people now allowed to join the BNP. Oh please please PLEASE

[heQet]

story here

Oh I would LOVE to see each and every single non-white british person join the BNP, turn up to all the meetings, vote in the AGM, maybe overthrow the leadership and take control of the BNP.

It would be WONDERFUL.

I thought ethnic minorities made up about 7% of the population.

I really don't recognize this version of Catholicism, I really don't. I was raised Catholic and went to a Catholic all girls school. There were several gay teachers, and it was not a big deal. By the same token, not sure that it's appropriate to discuss a teacher's hetrosexuality either.

A friend of mine 'came out' when she about 15 years old and discussed it with a teacher, and she was reassured that she would get support from the school.

And don't think there was a higher instance of lesbians at an all girls school than anywhere else. Think about 3 in a class of 80 girls. Maybe 4 if one counts the girl who is bisexual.

Ah, but DP, it's not about what's actually pracical for the BNP to achieve, it's about what they would like to happen if they could.

"the way things are at the moment, yobs are in charge of some areas"

That's right. It's called Burnley.

Hmm, while we can blame the BNP for all wars, famines, and natural disasters,
I don't think we can blame them for any of the problems Northern towns are facing. You have to go back 25 yrs for that and a certain Margaret Thatcher.

She was the one who totally destroyed whole communities. Communities that have never recovered. She did that because she didn't give a toss about the working class. They were totally screwed by the tories, but they always knew they were the enemy, so I don't think they were too surprised.

I think they were suprised that Labour didn't give a toss about them either, but then there is no Labour party anymore is there, which is why alot of Labour supporters have turned to the BNP.

But you probably think MT did a good thing and it's ok to be a scab..

Is that where disillusioned Labor voters are going? To the BNP? I can understand why working class Labor wouldn't ever vote Tory, but BNP? Most unions are so anti BNP, am surprised that former Labor voters wouldn't vote Lib Dem before BNP.

'Is that where disillusioned Labor voters are going

no, its where racist homophobes and those that are completely baffled by modern culture end up.

Different thing.

Doisillusioned labour posters are IME heading back to labour coz theres no viable choices

Next time your mind wanders off why don't you follow it and do us all a favour

ilove;

Yes, majority of BNP voters are ex-Labour, which isn't too surprising when you look at the areas the BNP are doing well in...(Burnley for example)

Possible just protest votes, will be interesting to see what happens in the next election.

Daftpunk - what's going on with you. From other threads I'm sure you said you would contemplate voting BNP and now you're already an activist.

From what you've posted over the last few months with your increased involvement with a political party that cannot get rid of its violence and hatefulness, the fact you don't like anything you don't understand - your kids shoved into catholic school to avoid the mainstream - I now imagine you sitting their with a blond skinhead and big old DMs resting on the table with a splif in your mouth.

Are you in some kind of run up to the election haze and could you imagine living in a country ruled by hate and chaos with a party that has no experience in government?

Aw you must be having us on, surely.Party activist indeed.

I am a disillusioned labour voter. i shan't be voting BNP

what with me being jewish and having immigrant great grandparents and not hating anyone who is remotely differnt to me.

Lol giveitago, that's a half decent description of me..!

Yep, I did say I would never vote BNP because I never thought I would, and my "activist" comment wasn't meant to be taken seriously..

..you can only be a political activist if you're 21

promoting a party and talking about their manifesto and joining the party is being an activist, imo..

This reminds me of a rebellious teenager trying to talk politics with his/her parents and choosing the most obnoxious argument going just for the sake of it but not really knowing what they are talking about and just becoming more and more extreme as their back is against the wall and they are ill equipped to really answer or debate.They eventually stop the spliff and take their feet off the table and vote tory!

Peachy, I take your point, but doesn't the 'protest' vote usually go to a more neutral party?

Well elections are on the way and things will heat up no doubt.

I hope that as a nation we can keep our cool and not go down the blame route with misplaced 'protest votes' for extremist parties.

ilove don't know tbh, never protest voted in my life and my aprents would die rather than do that: very, very policitcal as a family.

however I think that if you live somewhere where lots of your freinds vote BNP etc maybe it becomes more neutral? I have a dear friend who does vote for them and lives in a world where many people do, and where sheer crap is beleived about all sorts of things (Muslims all want to kills us, etc etc) and she sees it as very normal. I think I am the only person in her life saying anything outside that box tbh so I am the odd one, even though she knows that I know my stuff on things such as faiths etc.

Peachy - your very political family don't engage in protest votes? What? Hope you're not assuming that very political families never do protest votes as they most certainly do. I will be.

I'm highly political.

Giveitago only talikng about my family- whoa re very into researching what we feel would be really the best place for a vote and going with it.

And tbh I personally feel that is always wisest option.

"My personal view on BNP activists is that they have problems forming relationships with humans, maybe feel a bit threatened by them, unsure of their intellectual ability, possibly aren't that interested in basic decency ?"

I'm sure I can find some research to back that up somewhere......

LG;

Have you calmed down yet..?

Is it safe for me to come back and talk to you..?
