I think you have to choose who you vote for carefully, but how can you be careful about the BNP.
Perhaps you can see New BNP on here, their policies and where they think they are headed. A simple analysis of the answers here and the policies on the BNP website.
The BNP members will not respond to questions they cannot control. Anything which seems to put their policy in the wrong light is simply ignored, because a small party can do this. They concentrate on their presentation.
One question was answered by a BNPer which went right against muslims. It disappeared for some reason.
Private seems to have the party line down to a tee
"The BNP have no connection with fascism."
Wrong. They have a lot of connections with facism.
Nick Griffen, their leader, was in the National Front, of which he served on the governing body.
Griffin founded the International Third Position, formed with italian and british facists.
Between 1995 and 1997 he wrote an anti-semetic publication called The Rune.
"Griffin claims that the law under which he was convicted "is an unjust law and he therefore has no obligation to follow it"."
"In issue 12 of the BNP publication The Rune (see 1998 public order conviction) he called the Holocaust "the Holohoax" and criticized the Holocaust denier David Irving for admitting in an interview that up to four million Jews might have died in the Holocaust. Griffin wrote: "True Revisionists will not be fooled by this new twist to the sorry tale of the Hoax of the Twentieth Century."[22][23][24] Griffin was eventually prosecuted for his articles in The Rune (see below).
In 1997 he told an undercover journalist that he had updated Richard Verrall's Holocaust denial book Did Six Million Really Die?. He also described his former MP, Alex Carlile, QC, who had reported The Rune to the police, as "this bloody Jew... whose only claim is that his grandparents died in the Holocaust."
In his defence during his 1998 prosecution, Griffin said: "I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that six million Jews were gassed and cremated and turned into lampshades. Orthodox opinion also once held that the world is flat ... I have reached the conclusion that the 'extermination' tale is a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda, extremely profitable lie, and latter witch-hysteria.""
The BNP claims not to be anti-semitic, not to be anti black, asia etc. It makes sense, people will not vote for such a party even if they agree with it. But they will vote for a party that hides this even when they know it is true.
"Those that suggest it does obviously dont know what fascism is and dont know who the BNP are.Usually theses critics are uneducated types reiterating cliches they heard from other people."
I guess in one way they are not fascists, Fascists seem to revel in the fact. But the conditions in britain are not right, and have not been for a long time. Now they might be more popular because of the economic crisis, but in a few year this will die down. They want to get into some sort of power, they are playing the game.
Denial is part of the game. "We are not fascist, we are not racist" when they so obviously are and their policies reflect this.
What does the term "Native British person" mean? To me this smacks of concealed racism. Ask the BNP what this means, who this applied to, will you get an answer? I have seen one say that second and third generation will not have a problem, but first generation british people, those born to foreign parents, those legal in this country, well they will be harassed out of the country.
They want corporal punishment for petty criminals. Look at the USA and their execution policy. 80% of all executions are of blacks, most of these blacks murdered a white person, YET, most murders are committed by white people. Go figure. What would happen with the BNP policy, hmmm! How to get "non-natives" to leave 101.
"Fascism would suggest authoritarian and dictatorial leadership.The BNP are diametrically opposed to this and are the greatest advocates of free speech and democracy."
Because they have no choice. They are trying to gain respect in a system that does not and will not tolerate non-democratic parties. In fact the police have banned their members being in the BNP for these reasons, they are trying hard to appear legitimate, but it does not work for most people.
"The BNP is not racist."
Hmm, the term "native British people" suggests otherwise, Griffin's anti-semitic past suggests other wise. I think this is something to do with a dog born in a stable is not a horse, don't you think?
"Anyone who suggests that they are either do not know the meaning of "racism"and dont know who the BNP are."
SUggesting that the holocaust was the "Holohoax", supporting a guy who spend 2 years in Austrian prison for holocaust denial, wanting to get rid of the non-british natives from the country.
"The BNP do not regard foreigners as inferi
