RE: Yes. That one. The BNP are peddling lies as fact, the problem is that many people are believing those lies to be fact. The main political parties should not change their policies to placate these people or because they think the BNP may be a threat, they should be standing firm and educating the general populice. From Saturday's Independent http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article359444.ece Unfortunately more people read trash like the Sun, Express and Mail.
Apologies The article is now in their archive which you have to pay for - it wasn't yesterday when I saved the link. I'll dig out the article from the newspaper this evening
RE: Apologies The gist of it was that their election leaflets are making statements against local councils that are completely inaccurate and ill-founded. That they are making claims against government policy that is completely inaccurate and ill-founded, but masking this up as fact. It went on to list various "facts" that the BNP had made and the reality behind those. I really hope I come across one of their canvassers in town!
while the so-called "Independents" stand I don't see the BNP making inroads in Barnsley-their votes are mainly from disillusioned Tories </p> the BNP beat the Tories in 8 of the 9 seats where there was a single Tory and BNP candidate</p>
RE: Apologies It's sad that such an extreme party can influence people in the same way the main stream parties do. But if you don't believe that all political parties have representatives that adopt similar tactics, then it doesn't really matter what newspaper you read. You're already beyond help.
It's about time as well! I honestly think that we need a party like the BNP in this country. I know for a fact that there are several BNP supporters who use this site regularly. At last, Barnsley people will be able to express their true feelings and vote BNP. VOTE Bummers National Party - Rid the country of Anal fanatics!
I know.. I knew that you were not coming out in support of them. I was just putting my view in that I don't believe that they have any solutions,butagree that there appears to be,however misguided a general belief that we have major immigration problems. I just wonder how much of this is generated by the "hostile" media and how much is real.
they are here already <p class="mainrv">Another great Barnsley meeting</p><p class="bodytxt" /><blockquote>South Yorkshire correspondent reports. <table width="75%" border="0"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td class="bodytxt"></td></tr><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td class="bodytxt"></td></tr></tbody></table><p align="justify"><span class="bodytxt">Barnsley Organiser Paul Harris was very pleased with the meeting held at the usual venue in Barnsley on Thursday night (3rd Nov). Judging by the good turnout of members and supporters, and the willingness to give to the collection for Barnsley funds, it is clear that there is a strong undercurrent of support for the BNP in Barnsley. In this once Labour stronghold the policies of the ruling party are being met with widespread dissatisfaction and dissent. Introducing the meeting Paul stressed the point that turning BNP supporters into BNP members was essential if the Party is to gain more influence in Barnsley. However the potential is most definitely there for the BNP to play a major part in Barnsley politics. Activity options The first speaker, Mark Kaye, outlined ways in which members who may find it difficult to canvass or leaflet for the Party, possibly for fear of losing their job, can help spread the word in other ways. These include sending off BNP leaflets in pre-paid junk mail envelopes. These will often be opened by a bored office worker who will be pleased to have some diversion in an otherwise tedious day. Nick Cass, Yorkshire Regional Organiser, then spoke about how the legal case against our Chairman, Nick Griffin, is so full of holes that it is turning the legal process into a farce. How can a man be prosecuted, whose predictions were proved tragically correct, for putting out a warning about what was to come? Speakers During the break hardworking Barnsley fundholder, Graham White, sold the entire book of raffle tickets and many items of BNP merchandise were also sold. Our final speaker of the evening was dedicated Huddersfield Organiser Rob Walker. He went into detail about the various methods his branch is using to establish a solid reputation for our Party amongst local people. These include distributing and selling Party literature, publishing a local newsletter, attending council and sub committee meetings, and becoming known for being concerned about all manner of local issues through sending regular letters to the local press. The meeting was wound up with a collection for Barnsley funds which brought in over £90, once again exceeding the amount collected at the last meeting. Two members of the audience were so impressed with the proceedings that they came forward and joined up there and then. It is clear to all concerned that Barnsley BNP has a solid foundation on which to build in this town.</span></p></blockquote>
But why? why not just spoil you ballot paper? If no parties actually refelct your needs or views, then don't vote for any. It's interesting that you say "not Labour or Tory"? Why is that? And what makes you feel that the BNP are therefore deserving of your vote? Remember, regardless if you actually agree with some of their ideas, a cross in the their box is tacit support of their ideals.
RE: they are here already I always like how the reports say "held at the usual venue", strange isn't it how they never seem to publicise where they are having their meetings!
One problem they could discover with repatriating the doctors . . . . . . is that you never know when you might need them . . .
Fantastic... of course they would probably flatly deny that they would want to repatriate anyone, any perhaps only would admit to "voluntary, assisted repatriation". Until no one takes their generous offer up that is.
RE: Sky News Poll......... A party that thinks the Union Jack should be saluted in third reich style. They can f*** right off.
Wey hey "Dirk the racist"</p> No actually it isn't. But I just think it's far too easy to blame support for the BNP on those nasty old biddys that vote Tory rather than facing up to the fact that people across the political spectrum may be that peed off that they may consider voting BNP -- whether they fully understand the BNP's true policies or not.</p>
