The Church & the BNP.

[Leekbrookgull]

So if you serve in the Church of England it will soon become illegal to be a member of the BNP (like it or not a legal party) Fair enough you might say ? However why not SWP after all those on the far left are pretty good at 'removing' any oppostition. I agree that membership of both the clergy and the Bnp don't fit as both ideals and beliefs of each are at opposing ends of the scale. However banning is not the answer.

 

[blue and white army]

Who cares the Church of England is built upon a fat bloke not getting his own way

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Best avoid the Church & the BNP to be on the safe side. No change there then.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Agreed. I don't agree with the BNP at all but while it's a legal political party nobody should be prevented from being a member because of their job. At a stetch I might concede some jobs should prevent people being a member of ANY political party but it shouldn't be a small select band of parties.

It just means that a handful who could tolerate Female Vicars but not immigrants will also become Catholics. Actually the Church of England is entitled to have it's own rules but frankly do many people really care ?

 

[keaton]

Why do you care?

We are all God's children.

Except the darkies obviously.

Yes - I can see how it might work.

I don't but right now I'm bored.

 

[severnside gull]

Funnily enough, in many respects I viewed them as two sides of the same coin

Yes, but that is so obvious that you wonder why the CoE felt the need to BAN the party? It seems a bit popularist to me.

Perhaps Islam will now outlaw Al Kyida and Hamas ......

I thought it was illegal to be part of any national party if you were a priest... actually that might be Catholic priests.

No - it's the other sort of party they can't do.

 

[The Spanish]

Its just a marketing ploy to still stay one ahead of Rome in England after all the Poles turned up and gave them a bit of a shot in the arm.

Church of England - The Ones With a Slightly Clearer Policy on Cavorting With Nazis.

I have been sitting here for hours trying to understand what you mean...

What happened to democracy ? Whilst most people don't want anything to do with the BNP trying to stop people getting involved with them is good publicity to them and is likely to encourage membership.

It shows very little you know.You can't vote the BNP in your in the fire service and i presume the police force too.
But saying that my brother knows people who vote for the BNP secretly in the fire service.

So, if you were a non-white member of the general public, would you be happy about members of the BNP being Police officers...or do you think that they could separate their duty to uphold the law from their political offiliation, and not allow one to interefere with the other in their dealings with you?
