Marty has covered most of the bases.
I'm no fan of the current Government, but, as a white, heterosexual, able-bodied male, I don't feel discriminated against.
My biggest problem with the BNP is that senior members (including the leader) have been filmed showing their true colours singing racist songs and expressing offensively right-wing views. Although they may try to present a more palatable public facade, this showed what sort of people they really are and I can't believe people have forgotten/ignored this.
Also, campaigning on the grounds of "they've come over here and taken our jobs etc" has a long history (cheers Adolf!) and is a cheap and easy way to appeal to disgruntled masses. Jobs aren't being "taken" by immigrants etc but they are willing to do the jobs/hours that many "true Brits" won't.
Yes, it is only a couple of MEP's and a council seat here and there, but the Far Right is gaining throughout Europe and it's frankly terrifying. The mainstream parties are to blame to a certain extent with their scrabbling for the common middle ground but people can't be swayed by extreme blame/hate politics. We have to look at history and can't allow ourselves to go down that road yet again.
Finally, not being bothered to vote or "not voting as a protest" is the worst crime and has led to this sorry situation. Hopefully this will be the kick up the backside that people need and won't be replicated in the General Election.
Heathens... I agree, Imperial system is just mad.. come on FRA get with the times km / m!!
This attitude demonstrates what's wrong with the Brits. Since you regard not voting as a crime, what do you propose to do with people, who refuse to vote for the bunch of lying skunks?
History certainly tells us about what's occurring today. It tells us that when you discriminate for certain groups, you create hardships for the victims. Those victims then usually want revenge against those or scapegoats for their misery.
What's happening today has to be because of the past. I'll tell you something else, support for the BNP will grow. When times get hard people move to the extremes(provided they're offered), because the extremes, rightly or wrongly,hold consistent viewpoints.

Mainly because the BNP are Nazi scum.
Well so are the labour party. Britain is a fascist state. It's just a matter of degree.
Anyone who doesn't agree can read the National Socialist Workers party(NAZI) manifesto in 1921. Upon reading it you'll realise that it's almost identical to the aims of the major parties that exist in Britain today.

No. One just ends up in prison, or fined for acting in accordance with one's conscience. Ask the catholic church what will happen to them if they don't consider homosexuals for adoption.
Look the only difference between Hitler and Gordon Brown, is Hitler believed in murdering his opponents, Brown just believes in robbing them.

There is also a British Association for Women in Policing for similar reasons.
So they(government) adopted and practised the very same evil but in reverse.

Then they came for me -
and by then there was no one left to speak out for me.
The Heathens that's the best post you've ever made! Well said.
Re: Makes you proud to be Brit
Come on CL you're making sweeping sensationalistic statements (I'm sure with a glint in your eye) but, even for you, using the policies of the catholic church to back you up is pretty out there!

Now you're agreeing!!!???? I think Heathens is making the point about speaking out against extremist views now and putting an end to them before it's too late or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
