Hmm what is tthe PH thoughts on this BNP suporter?

[Pesty]

If the BNP is brought up usualy plenty of PHers fight amongst themselves to be the most PC.

Just came accross this story in the guardian. Will Phers still label him a moronic knuckle dragging racist?

He sounds like their biggest fan and wants to join.

'Every Hindu and Sikh should be praising the BNP'This weekend the British National Party will vote on letting non-Caucasians join. If the rules do change, Rajinder Singh, a Sikh, can't wait to become a member

I know tonnes of Hindus and Sikhs who vote BNP, purely due to the party's anti-Muslim sentiments.

I think that particular gentleman's political alliances are none of my effing business.

Dont know many Jewish people.

[sneijder]

Woosh indeed.

[Shay HTFC]

Would you give a st if some random nobody posh boy decided that he wanted to vote Labour? No....

... which is a a similar reaction I give to this story. So fking what?

[AJS-]

It doesn't really surprise me at all. With the stupidest government in recent history apparently determined to show it's pro Islamic credentials at every opportunity (well, short of of not bombing the crap out of Iraq and Afghanistant, obviously) and with a not inconsiderable section of Islamic opinion openly wanting things like Sharia law, why wouldn't a Punjabi Sikh, who feels that pre Islamic Britain was good to him, join the BNP?

I can see why he would want to join. The interesting part for me is how the BNP party and more importantly their supporters will take this chap.

Is it the enemy of my enemy is my freind or he's Asian we want him out too?

[jas xjr]

so would it be possible if a lot of non white people joined the bnp and voted out the exisitng leaders?
cannot see them doing that tbh

Why not? He can still be a Sikh and be racist. He appears to support the BNP because he doesn't like the pakistanis.

The BNP are still the party of racists.They've said they'll let in non whites just to improve their image but fully expected that nobody 'foreign looking' would take up the offer. I'm sure most of them don't want this bloke to join. Perhaps the BNP will now have to be a party of people who don't like immigrants who come 'over here' from today onwards?

It shows how distorted their world view is.

[zac510]

I'm guessing that the BNP now will take not so much take an anti-race stance but an anti-immigration stance. It'll be easy to go along with considering that there's already some of that sentiment in the general public.

I've been out of UK a while but...
Is it not possible that the Sikh or Hindu came to live in the UK because he prefered the lifestyle that "on the table" the day he arrived.
He may not like the changes that have taken place anymore than you.

He may actually dislike the changes more than the average UKer because it has made his life more uncomfortable. (being from Indian sub cont etc)

They will soon turn on him as soon as they can.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here? Are you suggesting that because he's not white, he can't be a knuckle-dragging racist?

I think every Indian and pakistani that came over to the UK in the 60s was not really looking for a new lifestyle but work with wages that were a hell of a lot more than they would get 'back home'.

I think his inner india/pakistan division experience is what really drives him to vote for the BNP. Now he's found a enemy of his enemy so naturally he becomes their friend.

At the end of the day the BNP lot will still call him a 'p4ki'.
