the problem is I actually agree with quite a lot of that which is a worry....
Obviously not as barking and dangerous as I clearly am.......
The only (likely) threat to us from nuclear conflagration is is if a terror organisation gets hold of a nuke along with the instruction manual on how to light the fuse. If a nuke goes off in Trafalgar Square due to a terror operation exactly who is the commander of the nearest Trident supposed to aim his ultimate deterrent at?
As far as I can see, the BNP manifesto seems to suggest that all our problems are caused by immigration and are the fault of Jonny Foreigner, but there is no mention of dealing with the lazy scrounging oxygen thieves that are born here - many of which are possibly the core of the BNP support.
Here's a random set of ideas:
- Cleaning teeth at least twice a day
- Pulling in your wing mirrors before using the drive-through car wash
- Looking out for your neigbours
- Executing all Brummies to rid Britain of their stupid accents
- Putting on my socks before my trousers
I agree with most of that.

I'll sleep easier having it than not.BTW, I don't really feel that strongly one way or the other about nuclear disarmament, but it's all public spending, which should be cut at every opportunity IMO!

I'll sleep easier having it than not.The most likely nuclear threat we face today is from a terrorist attack, Korea, Iran and Pakistan are never going to be an issue for the UK

I think the manifesto does deal with the white british underclass, most people see sense in some of what they say. Dont agree with repealing the race relations act though, its not about skin colour any one who wants to come here and work can, as long as they respect the british traditions. Immigration, in its uncontrolled labour form, is very cynical and destructive, and when a government admits it operated an open door policy purely to p*ss off people who hold right wing views, then it has to be responsible for the backlash from that decision.hairykrishna said:

It's the ultimate force escalation, a guarantee that nobody will ever get to dictate what we do via military force or the threat of military force. That might seem a ridiculous requirement at the moment - who would threaten us? Things change quickly in the world though. I think a few tens of billions isn't that much, in the grand scheme of things, to retain the ultimate 'big stick'.
k of a lot.

Maybe, but it also feeds Capitalism. The market demands more people to be consumers and producers.Spiritual_Beggar said:

Things can change quickly in the country as well. It's no deterent against our own government, who are, IMO a far more serious threat to freedom than any possible future Russian bad apple.
