    According to the profile here yes it is true http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle6493540.ece

    And there this thread should end. I don't think anyone could put it any better than that.

    Though obviously it hasn't. And no doubt it will still cause more ructions before it finally runs out of steam.

    If you support democracy as it exists today, then you support discrimination. You cannot honestly say "I'm opposed to discrimination in racial matters, but support discrimination in other areas." To do so is to hold a double standard, one that leaves you defeated in any intellectual exchange.

    Let me explain: People don't seem to have grasped explicitly that democracy is a system of benefits and sacrifices. If it wasn't, the government wouldn't steal from one Man and give to another. So they(the voters) play the game by voting for the party who'll either give them the most benefits, or who'll sacrifice them the least.

    So we reach the position we're at today, with the Labour government discriminating against certain groups to buy votes. Those groups realising their heads are on the sacrificial block, want to protect themselves from this discrimination and search for a political party that'll stand up for them. Today that party is the BNP.

    Now it's all very well you mentioning the fear YOU feel, because you don't want to be discriminated against on racial grounds, but millions of brits have already realised this fear in other areas, and are sick of it. It's all very well Nicklas saying I don't feel discrimated against. The fact is millions do, and they see it every day in their work.

    I don't support this system of benefits and sacrifices(democracy). So I hold all the parties with almost the same contempt.

    It's just a pity that Thatcher didn't do this before the Falklands War dropped into her lap. I am old enough to remember the rumours that intelligence was fully aware of Argentinian plans to invade the Falklands .... which would lead to the question, why didn't Thatcher act on that intelligence.

    Or we could cite the Poll Tax, another of Thatcher's and your lots marvellous ideas, if it was so good why didn't she have the courage of her conviction to go to the electorate with her marvellous idea ?

    By the way, if I was Lord Healey I wouldn't just hug her .... "The Prime Minister who glories in slaughter"

    Purport - "have the often specious appearance of being, intending, or claiming"
    That does accurately describe the approach of "New" Labour to freedom, justice and greater opportunities.

    You are right not to be frightened of people like Tebbit and Benn - quality politicians with differing views. Genuine - where have they all gone?
    Might I suggest Dennis Skinner, who Margaret Thatcher once called a "marvellous parliamentarian". Unfortunately I cannot name any current Tory MP's who might fal into this category, but then again you'd hardly expect me to do so ....

    Poll tax was a fantastic idea. Everyone pays an equal amount for equal services. What's the problem with that?
