“Stan, the BNP are not a white supremacy party!”

Hi John, I suppose will have to agree to disagree on that one

The point of my earlier post was to say that there isn’t much point in calling a party left or right wing. The BNP have some left and some right wing policies but as no one wants to be seen to have anything in common with them, parties on the left label them right wing and parties on the right label them left wing.
As far as I’m concerned just refering to them as the BNP is enough.

Stan, the BNP are not a white supremacy party! Wonko has it about right, they are of the left in so many things. Even the anti Immigration policy is based on Legislation that is on the statute books.
That said they do have ideas to revitalise British Industry and Agriculture and the basic attack on the way money is produced by Banks from thin air does ring true. We should do an Iceland and tell the masters of the Universe to do one!

Here is an interesting thing, that is coming up with the AV referendum, because we, the welsh and irish are all having elections on that day, our turn outs will be higher, so we might get to ‘decide’ what happens.

That is, England votes no but due to such a low turnout, the yes votes in the hairy ginger parts of the country, which are larger due to us having our own elections that day turn it to a national Yes!

I’m not sure that describing any party as “left” or “right” wing is particularly helpful.

You say that the BNP are Left-wing – Quite apart from it’s belief in white supremacy, the BNP has pledged to repeal the Human Rights Act, supports the reintroduction of Section 28, is opposed to free trade unions, opposes comprehensive education and supports Britain’s continued possession of nuclear weapons – all of which I would consider to be right wing views.

Wasn’t it Nick Griffin who described the BBC as a “thoroughly unpleasant ultra-leftist establishment” during his appearance on Question Time?

This would be the same “left wing” BBC whose political team includes: former editor of the Sunday Times and now chairman of the Tory-supporting Spectator Andrew Neil, former Tory defence secretary Michael Portillo, former chair of the Young Conservatives Nick Robinson and former deputy chair of the Federation of Conservative Students Robbie Gibb.

And would that be the same guardian who told it’s “communist” readers to vote Lib-Dem at the last election?
