Silly mid off (an ill- considered opinion on the BNP)

In case anyone missed it...we, in England, are generally not big on racist parties. We are big on weather and public transport, schools, healthcare, the X factor (apparently), ballroom dancing featuring political commentators who can’t dance and we are really big on expenses right now.

The English have always tended to regard the far right as being ‘a bit silly’....and if there is one thing that the English both embody and love to laugh at; it is silly.

The sport of cricket is supposed to embody the English – we look for ‘fair play’ and a slap up tea midway through. It all sounds pretty damn sensible to me.

I like cricket – completely unintelligible to those who refuse to immerse themselves in it and actually has silly mid on and off as positions. How cool is that?

England is the size of Alabama and we have approximately 45 million more people ...Yes 45 MILLION MORE PEOPLE, occupying the same amount of space. Immigration is a problem when combined with a recession and 1 in 5 young people entering the job market unable to find work.

We can’t stick our fingers in our ears yelling la la la about this and we can’t ignore the obvious fact that we have to clothe, employ, pension and deal with the healthcare needs of our population from a position of previously unheard of debt.

We are generally a country of Christian values, but our altruism and desire to provide asylum is pretty stretched at the moment, particularly as class differences are higher than ever. I'm not seeing Goodwin building a housing estate here with his windfall.

Let’s not pussy about being politically correct – if You are Mr Smith who has been made redundant with two sons who both have degrees and none of you can get work, your home has been repossessed and your marriage has broken up under the strain. You are living in a bedsit and an asylum seeking family just got a five bedroom house paid for by the state on the taxes you paid for 35 years...how generous would you feel

Tell me you are not going to resent these foreigners who swan into your country and claim everything you can’t.

These are the people who are voting for the British National Party. They have happily lived in multiracial and cultural communities, sent their children to schools with a diverse ethnic mix and now feel that they are being neglected because of the influx...not because of nice Mr Patel down the road who was so reasonable when he caught young Johnny shoplifting and was always open when everyone else was closed, not because of Dr Singh who diagnosed his wife’s breast cancer early enough to get treatment, or because of Professor Chandra who taught Johnny modern History at Uni.

The BNP are an openly racist party and one that relies on fear to gain votes...fear of the terrorist attacks...fear that Muslim people are all violent and want to kill their families, rather than the peace loving gentle religion that we recognise drives our friends and neighbours.
This is a party that wants to ramp up Muslims as genocidal maniacs while they deny the Holocaust and identify with a certain bunch of genocidal maniacs.

Ask anyone who voted for the BNP, or are considering doing so for their reasons, and you will never hear ‘Because their economic policy will see us out of the recession’ or ‘because I feel comfortable with them in charge of the Army, the healthcare system or pensions’.

This is why I believe that the approach of Question Time was wrong. Nick Griffin, Chairman of the BNP underwent a personal attack from a majority – and to the English, that just isn’t cricket. We don’t like to see people being bullied even if they are sweaty racist fascist c**ts.

I think the approach should have been to demand what the BNP policies were on other subjects (and there is always the question as to who gets dealt with first in the Accident and Emergency Unit of a hospital, and would that be the broken leg of the middle class white rugby player or the knifed polish immigrant – after all they will both probably get treated by an Indian or Pakistani Doctor.) seriously though, how are they going to tackle the debt? the Ecological targets that we are commited to? (Yeah it is tempting to say burn jews and take their money...but surely these people have moved on?)

The BNP rides on one subject so gets them out of that zone and remember – They are silly, so laugh
