    Let's not beat around the bush.

    If you vote BNP you are either:
    1. thick or
    2. racist or
    3. thick and racist.

    No amount of respectable posturing by Griffin and his cohorts will persuade me differently. If you want to register a protest vote then put a cross against the greens or even UKIP, anyone but the BNP.[/QUOTE

    Remember being called a Nazi at school and having many a punch up with bullies, i am proud of my father and never thought of him as a foreigner or incomer, he was just a good, honest, decent bloke.
    Merry you are a very generous bloke and you always seem to try to see the best in people. When we are voting we should follow that principle. People used to say Thatcher was a fascist. She was a very right wing tory but no way fascist. Hitler, Mussolini, Franco (Stalin) they were fascists. They murdered people wholesale. All fascists are murderers or murderer apologists. That's what Griffin is. Do not be fooled by the fact that he looks ordinary. Hitler looked ordinary.

    Always been a pretty good judge of character, and not easily fooled
    The Fascists you mention are also cowards, they got other people to murder for them, people who were probably doing it in fear of their own lives or their families, and had to live with that for the rest of their lives

    I didn't mean you were easily fooled Merry I meant "one" should not be fooled and, I suppose, especially RH.
    Just in case you thought I did

    Let's not forget Griffin's criminal record (preventing him from becoming a councillor) for inciting racial hatred.
    Thanks for that Heathens, I've been trying to find it.

    Have you watched it yet CL? Do you still think these people should be listened to?

    Yes, the right to free speech is the cornerstone of democracy but a sensible/rational line has to be drawn. That line for me is inciting hate/violence or actual violent acts against innocent people. No matter what Griffin etc says in public these are his true colours and I'm not happy that he is now an official representative of this country and I can't believe that you are either.

    Just a couple of points crowhill. I didnt want any credit for saying i voted BNP, Heathens asked if anyone on here had done and i have never had a problem telling anyone who i voted for.

    If you read my post i never said it was a protest vote and finally calling someone thick because they hold opposing views to yourself is hardly a convincing argument

    I don't want to get drawn into a row - but in my opinion the BNP are despicable and if you didn't vote for them as a protest vote then it's even worse.
    Also, I didn't say you were thick - If you re-read my post you'll see there's a choice in there and not being thick is one of them.

(Failed to vote this time, and I use the word "failed" advisedly , because I was away on a residential and forgot to register for a postal vote.)
    For God's sake read some books about the nazis, watch a film... Schindler's List or something. How can a thinking person vote BNP? My dad (you're not gonna like this Merry) fought for the Nazis and I still blush to acknowledge it; although I believe his suffering on the Eastern Front (and indeed that of the entire German nation) redeems him somewhat.
    My Mam's brother was in the Welsh Guards and was D Day + 4. He won the MM in Belgium. The least I can do in his memory is not vote BNP.
    The reason most migrants are here is to do a fair day's work for a fair day's pay if certain "British" scroungers had the same attitude to work there might not be quite so many job opportunities for immigrants. Think people.
    CL it's not compulsory to be paradoxical.
    Yes I'm glad you understand! Paradox.

    But when you ask someone a question such as "are you thick or stupid" in effect you aren't giving any reasonable options.

    There are many more possible reasons than the 3 that you gave as to why RH voted in the way he did.

    Although it is unlikley he would convince me that his reasoning was sound, he is entitled to make his decision without being put down.
