at the amount of people I come across who say 'I'm not racist but the BNP have got a point about immigration'. Not hard to see how Hitler rose to power is it.

Hardly the point is it, Birdsinanest? As soon as people start seeing a racist party as reasonable because they say what some of the voters want to hear, we're on a dangerous path.

You know I had the same conversation myself I know very little about politics,yesterday, as I said, but I do credit myself with a little more intelligence to believe every thing I read in the press. I am confused as to why a party who wants Britain to be a white only Britain, yet have a seat in Europe? Does this party have any views on anything else but immigration, what are their views on the present economy? Or again does this go full circle back to immigration?

So all immigrants are a drain on the countries resources are they birdnest?

You sound a lot more intelligent than a lot of the people I've been hearing over the weekend, Hayley.

Nothing against illegal immigrants, give them a choice return home or 2 years in Afghanistan mine sweeping with a birch broom.

Stop it !!! you scare me when you talk like that..lol


Have you ever heard the story about the man who got of the plane from Pakinstan at a Airport with his wife and 5 children, and ask someone where the bank was, the person ask which bank? The Guy showed him a piece of paper and which had instructions to go straight to the nearest DWP office. ...................but whats really scary Uggers is that people believed it ...

Don't get me started on the papers, Hayley - who is it who's whipped the great British public into a frenzy about immigrants and foreigners in the first place and then makes a big thing of painting the BNP as the only baddies?

i think its called foot in the door technique.

i suppose they could make a start by sending people back to scotland,ireland and wales because its not so far and would save money.
but then they would have to bring the english back here.

oh dear what a bother.

Uggers Report 26 Oct 2009 13:30

lol Hayley. I think I'm ok here cos all my foreign ancestry is white, although I will lose a few relations if and when they get in. Oh, as long as I only do what I do behind closed doors of course.

Why are you amazed? Whilst this country cannot afford to provide the services we have all believed are our right, i.e. health care, social housing, benefits, pensions at a decent level, schooling etc., people will look for someone to blame!!!! If you look at the demographic reports for England's poorest towns I can certainly see why some people are supporting the BNP.

Not that I am saying it is right or wrong just making an observation.

when an irish man said to me they should send them all back,I said the indian army fought and died for this country,but which very close country to us was neutral.
he had no answer to that.

Yeah Meercat right on Sister,


Why is the finger always pointed at immigration as the blame, what about the drain on our services, what about the lazy sods who have never done a days work in their lives.

Sue, I'm amazed because I didn't realise quite how stupid people are. I live in the same country and I'm not looking at blaming immigrants, which is the time honoured method of the mob when times are hard. There is SO much money in this country but the greater of the wealth is mismanaged and misdirected. I can *never* *ever* understand why anyone would support a racist party.
