BNP Win 2 Euro Seats: Justifiable?

[paraffin]

Voters in Leeds + Manchester have helped to elect two BNP members to the European Parliament.
Should those voters be admired for exercising their democratic rights?
Or should they be roundly condemned for helping to elect such an extreme racist party to British Politics?

[Simon-Bloom]

Zacsmaster could not have said it any better! A far more serious/disturning issue that needs addressing right here right now is the racism in politics namely in the British Nazi Party. How can anyone vote for the British Nazi Party knowing what they represent?!

[Simon-Bloom]

Disturbing issue- meant to have typed. This issue is far too close to my heart. Think you can guess why in my name of Simon Bloom.

[another-view]

Simon, it must be nice to live in a world where everything runs smoothly with no worries. I guess the Eastern European immigration doesn't affect your life. Well it does mine and if I can do anything to halt it within reason then I will.

[Simon-Bloom]

Zacsmaster - leave it now to your more than capable hands- pass the baton on to you.

There will always be a certain number of people who will vote for this awful party, for whatever reason.

Having this stupid method of deciding who wins seats allows minority parties to win them, even if they get less rthan 10% of the total vote. This is the main problem.

But the British people abroad are not undermining existing jobs in other countries. They are there earning decent wages that other people couldn't or did not want to do.

Fair enough, if we've no doctors for example, sure bring some people over to fill the gap but don't make someone redundant just so they can be replaced with someone who will do the job for a pittance.

I often wonder if the evolution of Britain into a multi-cultural disaster will ever be reversed, but I fear it will not. A nation set on self-destruction in a perverse attempt to be all things to all men, a joke where minorities not only hold sway, but have greater rights than the majority, a joke where fanatical protestors can insult the nation's armed forces publicly on the streets and under police protection, a joke where crime mysteriously rises in certain areas but nobody dare put two and two together for fear of being labelled racist.

Racism is an unreasoned and unreasonable discrimination based purely on colour (etc). What do you call it if it is reasoned and reasonable? It is hardly surprising that the far-right will gather support in a country which has lost sight of its own citizens in order to pander to minorities which are frequently inimical to national interest.

[another-view]

So you say they would give up British skilled workers to have an unfilled post just to get even? Kind of cutting off the nose to spite the face isn't it?

Sorry Mrs Zxcvbn, there are no doctors here. We sent them all back to the UK because they sent our people who flick the black peas off the conveyor belt back.

Consider this question, if you take people of West Indian descent they are now into their 5th and 6th generation of being British or indeed the Jews who are far beyond 6th generation. They have nowhere to be repatriated too; they are as British as anyone. What does the BNP do with them? Anyone who says they let them carry on living their normal lives is living in cloud cuckoo land, and remember it doesn�t stop at West Indian and Jews

[anotheoldgit]

How are these for two examples of false logic?

This is not a great result for the BNP even though they have their first 2 MEPs.

<i.Excellent! Despite the increased profile of immigration stories, the BNP are actually less popular than they were five years ago.

I think they will be more than satisfied at the present time with the 2 seats in Europe.

Sp1814 also states that Blacks and Asians are banned from joining the BNP.

I wonder if whites are also banned from joining the numerous Black organisations and associations?

[another-view]

But the West Indians and Jews do not undermine people's jobs by doing them for peanuts. Please read the thread.

[paraffin]

Thanks to everyone who responded and, regardless of your views and opinions, this proves that the great British Public still care about what's happening in and to our country.

People on here ask why do the BNP get any votes. Here is why.

I live on the edge of Birmingham, and last week went with my teenage son into the centre of Birmingham for an interview.

We were early (9.30am) so wandered round the Bull Ring shopping centre (it was pretty deserted at that time).

There were some kids from a local school going round on a field trip with their clipboards. There were about 50 kids, in four groups of about 12 or so in each.

As I passed each group I noticed that there were almost no whites in the groups, they were asian, black, chinese etc.

I would say of the 50 kids no more than 3 were white.

Now I have to say this frightened the h*ll out of me, and the thought of what the UK might be like in 10 or 20 years time if the high birthrate amongst ethnic groups continues.

The main parties only have themselves to blame. The tory and labour policy on immigration has been a disaster. We have allowed anyone and everyone in, and the country is being dragged down to third world levels.

When I watched crimewatch last week, and the mass brawl of 50 black men, some carrying axes and meat cleavers, well it just made me so sad at what this country has become.

Unless something is done about the awful immigration problem the BNP and far right will gain more votes and support.

Yesterdays vote was a warning to the main parties.

[anotheoldgit]

Yes but they still won't listen VHG?.

That is why some are voting for parties that may do something about it.

Incidentally one doesn't have to travel to the Bull Ring to notice the ethnic mix proportions of our school children, just switch on the TV and notice the uneven mix when the cameras go into the schools.

[berniecuddles]

just a quick point, nothing will never be done in this country about immigration whilst there are do-gooders about ie: zacsmaster , they are so scared to upset the ethnic minorities they bend over backwards for them ,you see it every day in the news and media you dare not say anything about muslims or other religions incase it upsets them but they can say what they like and its ok.makes my blood boil,mind you i blame the goverment for letting any tom dick or harry in they are to blame i can see why people voted bnp!! its long time the immigration rules were changed and get up to date like other countries!!

I feel sorry for you because you must be living a horrible Groundhog day. The exact same thing happened to you last December.

I was in the centre of Birmingham the other day, sitting on a pavement cafe having a break.

A school party came past, about 6 or 7 years olds, with their clip boards, on a school trip.

As these 30 or so kids went past I noticed that NOT ONE OF THEM WAS WHITE.

They were Asian, chinese, black, and so on. NO WHITE KIDS.

Either this incident didn't happen last week, or you go around stalking small children.
