While most of us recognise that the aim of your thread & subsequent posting is good at heart, I think the content offers very little factual evidence or logical reason for 'keeping BNP out'. Such practise leaves it open for BNP sympathisers to retort with equally emotive propaganda.
Can... open... worms... everywhere.

I think your posts vastly underestimate the intelligence of the voting public and people reading this forum; common practise of people with political interest.

But who am I to hold up the Barrett alliance

Re: Stop the bnp

Nick Griffin is and always will be a prat. I think what people are trying to say here is that they are capable of making their own minds up, and to be honest , Turkish Delight only ever pops up when there is something a little contentious to discuss.
The whole point of our freedom of speech and freedom to vote is just that, no one should tell us otherwise, I would never dream of voting for a party that is sexist/racist/ ist in general, we have a long history of people fighting and dying for our right to vote, and vote as we see fit. It isn't rocket science, the biggest crime against our democratic system is those who are too apathetic to cast their votes.

Re: Stop the bnp

the "protest vote" in the Euro elections is bound to be for UKIP..but I can't get my head around why people vote for a party who's candidates openly say they will take no part in the European Parliment.. it's giving a well paid job to someone who ain't even gonna turn up for work!

Andrew has quoted 5 parties in the poll he posted. Now perhaps I'm being too pedantic but would that not mean you inform us of all the parties manifesto's so we could make a proper informed choice ?

The aim of all my postings is meant to be good at heart and with good intention. Difficult to give all the factual evidence on here due to it being in so much detail. My posts were not intended at all to underestimate the intelligence of anyone, their could be some reading the forum that arnt aware.However point taken.

I ain't got a problem with people making their own minds up when it comes to politics..but this thread is small meat when taking into account the anti Labour stuff posted everyday....freedom of speech maybe the only last claim this country can hold up as what we have left in our civilisted nation...but there is our honour at stake, and when anyone can call for violence and discrimination against people who live in this country then the law should take over..but the BNP get away with it by quoting the freedom of speech laws..when others would be marked as traitors!

Maybe from your own head/heart?? Rather than just quoting chunks from the Unison website.

Will reiterate what others have said. Credit us with some intelligence, and allow us to make our own minds up. Anyone who doesn't know what the BNP have to say must have been asleep for 20 years.

Biggest chance of BNP ever having the slightest chance is NON VOTERS...ring a bell?

You are the exception in a million Cashy ..

It's all been said in the above posts, we will make our own mind up at the end of the day, however, if it has given a few people a little guidance as to there idiocy, so be it.

Think was very brave of TD to do this in the first place, although not without influence methinks..

Thanks for that quote. I can honestly state i have not been influenced by whom your thinking and have never discussed the subject. Its a subject ive been working on now for a couple of weeks and researching also interacting with many individuals and thats how im aware a large number of people dont really understand fully the policies of the BNP and their implications.
