    If the ethnic mix, and others, don't exercise their right to vote, the BNP could indeed get into power

    As every, I could be wrong and this case, I hope I am

    So if picking a window cleaner for your home and you had a choice of three mass murderers (who had killed 7, 5 and 4 people repectively) which one would you pick ?

    The thing is in the UK, it's very easy for crooks, morons, and extremists to get elected.

    If they join the Tory or Labour parties, and pick the right constituency

    I'm pretty sure he's dead.
    Oh no he's not

    Theres a few choice quotes from him here. Lovely man, never a dull conversation
    It doesn't mention eugenics which is another of Hitler's perversions. The one thing WW2 did, was to stop eugenics, which was popular in the UK at the time.

    btw, the lovely man won a seat and was booed off the stage.

    You find that in every country, especially amongst the religious conservatives.
    Yeah, there are many who would like to shove women back into the kitchen.

    Depends on the numbers as they might not need to have a majority share,
    just enough to have some power. i.e if labour had 25, Lib has 25 and BNP had only 5 .. then if Labour wanted something differnt to Lib then the BNP would have a lot of power in chaning the vote one way or another ... If you know what i mean

    The ethnic minorities, and most other social groups, including the BHP, are not evenly spread. It is one of the problems that the early Labour Party had. Their main voters were the labouring masses, all crammed into the industrial areas.

    Is that the British HP Sauce appreciation society you are talking about?

    Anyway courtesy Guido, I now understand Mandy's game........he is positioning for the long term - firstly UK to join the Euro - and then Blair to become EU President (maybe not in that order).

    And then? Mandy gets his ultimate reward - to be fellated by Antione as was promised many years at the Granita restaurant (pre Gordy).

    Everyone (BNP supporter or otherwise) needs to read this article by Charlie Brooker:
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...ker-bnp-racism

    Also here is a copy of the BNP Manifesto. Applying 3 seconds of critical thinking shows that their manifesto has more holes in its logic than Swiss cheese.
    http://www.lawsloop.com/manifesto.ph...party&page=730

    Fear has always been used by various governments to control the stupid. The BNP are just doing the saaaaaame thing done again and again. You just have to hope that there are more people who are able to think for themselves than can not.
    Saying that though, I think if Hitler had the technology back in the 1940's he may have implemented measures like... Stop and search without suspicion, DNA database, records of every website visited, every phone call made and every email sent, CCTV at every corner, politician's exclusion from Freedom of Information, torture, imprisonment without trial and so on. Feels great to be free!

    Re: A little bit of politics...

    Euro MEPs are allowed a security pass into the House of Commons.

    Nick Griffin was pelted by eggs outside the Houses of Parliament, but intends to go inside soon.

    MP's are not allowed into the Euro Parliament.



    Who is Antione, Jivelad?
