Comments on: London Tories hint at trouble for BNP http://www.wonkosworld.co.uk/wordpress/2008/05/04/london-tories-hint-at-trouble-for-bnp/ Half a bee, philosophically, must ipso facto half not be Tue, 16 Mar 2010 07:22:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Stan http://www.wonkosworld.co.uk/wordpress/2008/05/04/london-tories-hint-at-trouble-for-bnp/comment-page-1/#comment-19677 Stan Tue, 06 May 2008 23:27:18 +0000 http://www.wonkosworld.co.uk/wordpress/2008/05/04/london-tories-hint-at-trouble-for-bnp/#comment-19677 Well I do read the morning star and support most of it's policies infact. And what is more I fully understand democracy. Much as I hate what the BNP stands for, (and UKIP actually - sorry!) I have to agree that you cannot prevent a democratically elected official from exercising his right to represent those that have voted for him or her. Moreover it seems odd that the tories want to take this step seeing as the BNP were urging their supporters to select Boris as their second choice. Most of my working life has also been spent in the civil service and i've worked with (and been friends with) people of all political persuasions. When it comes down to it a civil servant is working for the people, not the party in charge. Personally I would rather resign rather than work for a member of the BNP but that is a purely personal opinion. I would like to know what these good BNP policies that have been mentioned are though, I'm an occasional visitor of their website and I've yet to find any : ) Well I do read the morning star and support most of it’s policies infact.

Anything else is not democracy. Which, if you ocassionally read the Morning Star is something the so-called democratic left and their brownshirts can't quite get their thick skulls around.

They have some pretty fundamental bad policies too - the fact they want to turn the country into a police state and force repatriation of immigrants. I imagine that the London Assembly has pools of admin staff and allocates Assembly Members' staff from those pools.

What will happen is is the posts will be advertised and say there are 100 secretaries but only 20 apply for the job, it could be said that 80% have rejected the BNP, so it is lies, damned lies and statistics. The tories are just setting themselves up to reap any positive publicity that may come from it. When it comes to it are any of our politicians any less reprehensible than the others? I'm sutre the BNP has lots of good policies. And lots of bad ones too. When you total them up, are they any worse than anyone else? This is just spin, ‘Meet the new boss, same as the old boss’.

Are they trying to give the BNP more publicity? Petty moves like this are just foolish and counterproductive. This also feeds into the BNP mindset that they and their voters are being shut out by the establishment. This would be incredibly stupid of the Tories in the assembly to do.

Aw, go on! “I could bring an entire government department to a grinding halt in minutes and probably lose at least one minister their job but I don’t.”
