If you wish for something hard enough you just might get it. Thats why I personally dont agree with protest voting. If you vote, its showing your support for a party their policies and their members.

I edited my original post as I admit it came over too agressive. Like I say, if you agree with them and what they represent, then vote for them. I might not like them, but their a recognised party, and as much as I dont like them, they are a part of democracy.

Voting for UKIP, as thousands did, was a "punch in the face", voting for racist thugs, no matter how well dressed or spoken, IS ignorance.
I am a "true" Brit (care to elaborate on what you mean there?), and I am fiercely patriotic, and I also have very hard right wing political oppinions, I'm just not scared of skin tone.

UKIP is disbanded, and never credible anyhow, these new groups that spring up are often just put in place to absorb protest votes like mine.

If you are voting in this country you have to understand what is really going on.

It upsets alot of people when they here BNP, its like blasphemy to their ears, but its just a bunch of nationalists, or patriots whatever.

Maybe you should ask yourself just who programed your mind to get all upset and confrontational at the mear mention of the word Nationalist.

Or vote for the Dems if you want, but all this arguing over Labour / Conservative, is a waste of breath, THEY ARE BOTH PRO SCAMERA. They have had a chance, and failed us again and again, give someone else a chance or at least let em know we are not happy.

Good man Paul. Of course, I'm not playing an active part in politics as that would be against Police Regs, but a small donation paypalling its way to you from me.

Well done!

Patriot = loves ones country
Nationalist = hates everyone elses

I am a patriot. Nationalists make me sick.

na·tion·al·ism
n.
1. Devotion to the interests or culture of one's nation.
2. The belief that nations will benefit from acting independently rather than collectively, emphasizing national rather than international goals.
3. Aspirations for national independence in a country under foreign domination.


No mention of hating everyone else, just devotion to what's best for ones country.

The only people who should be opossed to patriotism are the ones who know they dont belong here.

Plenty of blacks and asians, are patriots love this country, and are British. Plenty of white europeans do not love this country and do not deserve to be here. Its not about race.

Besides Im only voting for them this time because I want to hit Blair hard. I havent voted for them before.

Voting for Conservative, is voting for more of the same, much more.

OR IF YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT THE BASTARRDS, DO LIKE ME AND VOTE BNP, where you know you are not wasting your vote, they feel every last one like a punch in the face.



Which hurts less than the real punch in the face that the ethnic minorities receive a lot more frequently in a society where the BNP are seen as having valid views.

Voting for racist thugs is not really the way forward. Anyone who does is doing their little bit in increasing the number of racist attacks that happen on our streets.

I could show you friends who have been disfigured through attacks that are motiveless except for the colour of their skin. People who have had their faces slashed open with a stanley knife

Sorry to sound so harsh, but your vote, in its small way, is encouraging the people who do it.

Fielding 500 candidates in the forthcoming election is some achievement for a 'disbanded' political party!

Single-issue candidates have a surprising success rate (vis. Martin Bell), but perhaps not single-issue parties. Nevertheless, there are some in the current administration whom we would all rejoice to see queueing up inside their local JobCentre.

And I wish Reg Keys the same success enjoyed by Bell ... and he might do it too, if Eno and Price back him financially (as Eno did Bell). In 1997 Bell turned Hamilton's nearly 16,000 majority (in 1992) into an 11,000 lead over Hamilton (but Labour did not run a candidate). If the Tories and Lib Dems wanted, the Sedgefield election could become a straight 'trust me or bust me' vote if they didn't field candidates. Brobably not much hope of that though .
