The BNP are misunderstood...

No, I'm not a sympathiser (at all, they're scum) but I've seen a worrying trend in the supporters of these people.

I haven't search barred on this 1) because I couldn't be arsed and 2) because I have comments from an article that I'd like to discuss.

So here it is, if people would read it: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/blog/talking_politics/article/62375/3/#top-comments-nav

The article is clearly biased against the BNP but that's not my problem. My problem is the comments at the bottom of the page, and what seems to be a worrying amount of support for them.

There are a number of comments that seem to think the BNP will just stop immigration. From the impressions I have been given from interviews and articles with/about them (I'm not sure if it's actually stated in their policies), they also want to export immigrants living here.

Then there's the bloody ridiculous thing about membership of the party being exclusively English and Caucasian (because of course only white people can be truly English) which I can seriously see leading to any other races who were born in England being discriminated against and locked up for no reason - basically early-mid 20th Century America but involving more than just black and white people.

And yet people SUPPORT this group? The comments made on that article seem to be pretty naive when they say things like: "he [Griffin] is only doing and saying what most people are afraid to do and that is to kerb all the immigration this country has put up with for far to long."

Most people? This person actually believes most people think like the BNP? And that all the BNP would do should they get in to power would be to 'kerb' immigration.

I find it hard to believe how people fail to see how immigration is being used as a cover for sheer racism against all non-English Caucasians.

I'm interested to see other people's opinions on them, and perhaps have my faith in the country restored a little.

Does no-one else see the irony that America has actually elected a black president and yet in this country people are willing to support a purely racist party who will only tolerate white people?

its white supremacy with a political agenda, like two guys in parliament in the UK.

My ex voted BNP, *****, I told her that I had a French passport, I dumped her because of it.

There are idiots everywhere I am sorry to divulge. Reading comments in newspapers and seeing the results of polls in this country especially, disturbs me a lot. Especially considering that people say we are becoming a 'police' and 'nanny' state yet people still keep trying to blame the government for the way kids behave (crime/gangs) and how people spend their money (lending/the cause of the recession) it's almost like people want the government to be in control.

My point is that I wouldn't worry too much, out of the 60 million or so people in Great Britain, the amount who support the BNP are most definitely the minority.

A. British National Party
B. Basicly, British Rights, Severing their connections with the EU, Keeping out refugees, getting rid of forgieners, etc.

They really care about their country and it's people.. of certain groups.

British National Party.

Here are some rough quotes I remember from a flier that came through my door.

'It is impossible to rape a woman, forcing a woman to have sex equates to the same as forcing them to eat chocolate cake.'

'AIDS is a friendly virus, it only kills 'the gays' drug users and blacks.'

They are complete scum, but we do have freedom of speech in this country... so I guess they can say it.

I just won't be listening, or if I am I'll be laughing at how fucking ignorant they are.

2 things wrong with that:

1) Their = they're
2) Evil is a very strong word, whether it should be applied to anyone is debatable, but they are not evil. They have very strong views and go about them in arguably a very wrong way, but they are not evil. Hitler, maybe, BNP, not so much.

I hope this is a joke.

They're scum, there's no two ways about it there. However people are ignorant, and in the face of fear (the 7/7 bombings, other acts of terrorism or planned acts, such as the plane bombing plot [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.139266] announced today) and living among what they perceive as people they can't trust (mainly due to a lack of understanding), they will turn to people giving them what they believe to be the quickest method to return to a lifestyle they are comfortable with.

It just so happens that those people are a racist political party. People of an ethnic minority who grew up in the 70s and 80s grew up in fear because of them, they deserve no quarter or sympathy.

It's a shame that acts and plots of terrorism only serve to give parties like the BNP leverage. People say them having any support is minor, but it's still growing. Can you imagine if most of the terrorist acts came to fruition? Griffin would be dancing a jig. But I guess regardless, they still wouldn't get enough support to get into office.

Sadly, it doesn't. They don't currently allow non-Caucasians to be a part of their party. That says it all really.

They also believe that immigration, legal or not should be stopped and that immigrants, legal or not should be deported.

British Nationalist Party, AKA British Nazi Party.

I think their horrible fuckwits, that's what, who have no understanding of how the world works and are driven to be as stupid as possible.

Okay, that's two people in 7 posts. Come on guys. They're/Their/There. The rules are very simple. You people drive me up the walls with those mistakes.

Though at least you didn't write the ever hilarious "your an idiot."

Their leader said Hitler's book was his Bible, I think no further evidence is needed for where they really want to take Britain, if anyone ever let them.

Sure people support the group a minority, the BNP will never, never see major representation or reach the office of Prime Minister.

What was their response to the demand of at least one person of an ethnic minority in their party? I don't remember, I'm sure it was hilarious though.
