[Stoo82]

Well said mate. It comes as no surprise to me that the most hostile abuse comes from those who call us fascist, Its kind of ironic

Hence the the poster. Should have them choking and spluttering

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Well if you vote BNP I hope you enjoy watching our coloured and foriegn players.

Im sure they will be frilled to know that if this poll is indicative of the general club support allmost 15% of the crowd are BNP voters.

The reasons given for voting BNP sounds like the poor suckers in 1930's Europe who voted in Nationalist parties.

And without being smug about it, *wispers* its mostly Labour supporters.

And greens and liberal democrats and conservatives and Scottish Nationalists and Palid Cymru. Oh and UKIP, even UKIP are desperate to distance themselves from you. Now why is that?

But its there choice...You and I would never vote BNP but I have no axe to grind with people whos right it is to vote for them.
The way to stop the BNP is to get a party in power that will address the issues that is turning normal middle class voters to the BNP.

 

[vitusvivi]

Labour, always Labour nothing else.

Because they don't agree with the BNP. I don't have a problem with that

Don't disagree with most of that, if people want to vote for the BNP fair enough. If they can look themselves in the eye and are happy with everything the BNP stand for then fair enough.

Would the socialist party be a better bet than the BNP?

[Would the socialist party be a better bet than the BNP?[/QUOTE]

dont think so for them.The bnp as you said in a earlier post is playing on peoples fear as the nazis did in the 1930s and like then the climate is very bad at the moment as well.
I pray the bnp never get a seat but if people vote them in that will be their choice and a choice I would respect.

As far as each party goes, where are they regarding electoral reform? I think it's terrible that a self-serving government, whether Labour or Tory, gets to decide when Parliament is dissolved and what system is used for deciding how a government is elected. I think the former should be fixed term and the latter should be decided by a public referendum...

This is a democracy and long may we have that freedom of speech.

BUT, I would hang my head in shame if a friend of mine voted BNP, This
quote below was made by Nick Griffin

I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that 6 million Jews were gassed and cremated or turned into lamp shades. Orthodox opinion also once held that the earth 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.

Someone on NSC voting BNP is one thing, but if it was a friend, colleague or family member, I'd find it hard to take.

I work at a children's nursery and an after-school during the week. Hypothetically, I think I'd find it quite uncomfortable at either place if I found out a colleague was intending to vote for the BNP. As they were supporting a whites-only party, it would make me question how far such a person would welcome, value and respect children of all backgrounds who came into the setting.

I'd also wonder whether such a person would be able to use difference as a cause for exploration, discovery and celebration, or whether they would generally make children afraid of the unknown and unfamiliar!

Then I'd doubt you want to read these 'well thought out words' by Nick Griffin;

“The electors of Millwall did not back a post-modernist Rightist Party, but what they perceived to be a strong, disciplined organisation with the ability to back up its slogan “Defend Rights for Whites’ with well-directed boots and fists. When the crunch comes, POWER IS THE PRODUCT OF FORCE AND WILL, NOT OF RATIONAL DEBATE.” - Nick Griffin

 

[jmsc]

And there's more, do you BNP supporters agree with this?

“All black people will be repatriated, even if they were born here. ” - Nick Griffin

"WHITE WORKING CLASS SCUM will be swept away by a future BNP government." - BNP councillor Simon Smith

"Rape is simply sex. Women enjoy sex, so rape cannot be such a terrible physical ordeal... [it] is like suggesting force-feeding a woman chocolate cake is a heinous offence." - Nick Eriksen

Parties with far right policies are always going to get a bit of extra support when times are hard, it's pretty much the reason Hitler became chancellor. The BNP will unfortunately get a significant amount of support in the next election but they will fade into insignificance again when we come through this recession.
.

That's a bit of a simplification. Hitler became Chancellor because Hindenberg thought he'd be easy to control (Hitler was never elected Chancellor). It's true that the Nazis got a large amount of support in the Great Depression but there were other factors in play in Germany - notably the loss of land after WWI and the financial consequences of the German defeat. The depression hit the whole industrial world yet no other country saw a far-right party take power - or come close to taking power (Mussolini came to power in Italy nearly a decade earlier). In fact, France, Sweden, Spain and, arguably, the US moved leftwards.

While it's true that far-right parties will gather a bit more support in straitened economic times, the BNP is never going to become a significant party.

I remember in the mid-70s, the National Front won something like 14% of the vote in a by-election in West Bromwich (I think). THere were warnings then about a breakthrough for the far-right but at the next election, the NF faded away to hopeless case it had always been. The BNP is the same: they have a more stable base and Griffin is certainly cleverer than Tyndall but they're never going to achieve that breakthrough.

While it's alarming that the BNP has 13% on this board, don't take the NSC as a reflection of society as a whole, the BNP aren't going to get close to that percentage of votes.

How many old quotes are we going to get? I have explained this quote on another thread.

I think you even get the odd tory or labour coming up with the odd bizarre comment.

Oh and I don't think Smith or Eriksen are members anymore
