BNP ask for your support in Christchurch

Today there is quite a buzz in the High Street and it's getting a lot of people talking.

The BNP have a presence near the Mayors Parlour and are handing out leaflets and asking for your support in signing their petition to "Bring Our Boys Home"

The BNP representative I spoke to Mr Colin Smith was very clear to point out that the BNP policy is to 100% back our troops but do not believe they should remain in Afghanistan. They would like the troops immediate withdrawal to return home.

I asked Mr Smith if what they were doing was simply a publicity stunt to create debate and generate interest and a membership drive for the BNP Party but he assured me that bringing the troops home was a subject very dear and close to his heart.

Mr Smith said "I have already lost my stepson, in Afghanistan on 5th March 2010 and my daughter is currently serving with the Royal Artillery. All being well she is due to return home is 3 weeks"

He continued "The equipment our boys and girls are using out in Afghanistan is substandard, for example the current landrovers which are being used are unfit for their purpose and the new armoured vehicles will now not be ready for another year".

I must admit I was a bit shocked when I was told this and Mr Smith pointed out that my reaction was typical as the public are not informed by the government.

If you agree with bringing our troops home or think otherwise, why not head into town and have a chat with them on the BNP stall. They will be happy to answer any questions you have.

I stood and watched people passing the stall and I was suprised by the amount stopping and chatting and signing the petition. Mr Smith told me that The Mayor of Christchurch had approached them and was apparently very unhappy with their prescence in town especially since the Scouts are opposite collecting for their funds.

Whether you agree or disagree with the BNP's presence in town, the United Kingdom has freedom of speech and rights to protest. As I could see the BNP representatives were neither speaking out loud from a soap box or protesting so why should objections be raised by our Mayor ? 

What do you think ? Are you going to go a visit their stall ?

    LAST NIGHT 15/10/10 on one of the MTA satellite TV channels there were 3 wise presenters with their customary headgarb defending their islamic beliefs regarding age of consent. This program took place in a studio with english audio and behind the presenters on the wall there was a light coloured map of the region, with Pakistan highlighted in a dark colour. The next bit will shock you, so look away if you want to remain blinkered and go and watch your Astra 2 'sky minidish' programs. One of the presenters was stating that in hot countries young girls reach puberty earlier, the earliest recorded was 5 years old and the youngest to give birth was 6 years old. He then went on to justify their perverse laws on the age of consent by saying it is therefore perfectly normal for girls of 7, 8, 9 or 10 to . . . I won't go on, but they were quoting the name of a prophet and some praise for him, at every opportunity.
    Do we really want our culture in Britain to be influenced by Islam and Sharia law? Well the government is doing a good job of it by aiding the Islamification of Britain.
    About a year ago on Arabic Al Jazeera I also watched a news item about executions somewhere in Africa. So this was the no-holds-barred Arabic version in Arabic (not the English version of it you see on freeview) highlighting horrors that were occuring in Africa and this looked pretty recent to me. These executions will stay in my mind forever. 2 people on crutches being pushed to the centre of a group of at least 10 dead people lying face down in the dusty desert, The people on crutches were then shot in the back and the gunman walked around putting extra bullets into peoples' backs to make sure they were dead, their bodies recoiling from the ground with each gunshot. This was not some western video game, many of which in my opinion should be censored (in one game the game player is able to enter a hospital and shoot everyone) but real life, as aired on international satellite TV.
    Yes asylum seekers are in many cases trying to flee such horrors, but they should not make a bee-line for the Soft Touch UK by crossing up to 20 borders to arrive here. International Law requires them to go to the nearest neighbouring country. By breaking this law they have become illegal immigrants.

    valderd. Your patronising tone, shows you for what you are. Condescending and extremely insulting. I am not xenophobic or racist. I am not one to bicker either and have not once spoken down to you. I have merely defended my position and highlighted the unfair treatment the BNP gets from BNP detractors.
    I for one, completely disagree with your stance and all of your arguments.
    You are pro establishment anti bnp and good luck to you.
    You won't change my views and clearly, you are not going to budge an inch.
    I don't have time to argue with you on every policy of the BNP, there is already plenty of information from your side of the argument in the general press, our arguments are available at bnp.org.uk.
    The campaign to 'Support Our Troops - Bring Our Boys Home' is doing a very good job of alerting the public to the senseless and costly war in Afghanistan. More details from the BNP website. Obviously indivudual BNP members' comments are their own opinions and not necessarily those of the British National Party.

    ‘A frenzy of hatred and insults’ is a rather melodramatic description of my posts. I haven’t used any insulting language, I have merely pointed out that your election results are hardly indicative of a party on the up and up. You really have to stop crying for the moderator every time I say something you disagree with. There’s very little evidence in your posts from what I can see. To most minds, all the press do is show you for what you are. But at least now you’re being honest, and articulating the xenophobic spite and historical illiteracy at the core of BNP policy. You say Britain was a ‘world leading country’ prior to immigration, which conveniently skips over the fact that such status was derived from invading other countries and exploiting their people and resources. How do you justify that? Immigration is a direct consequence of Empire, and the diverse society we have now is probably one of the few benefits to come out of it. I find it hard to understand why you’d accuse me of having a hidden agenda, I’d say I’ve been fairly explicit about my views.

    1. My accusations of ‘propaganda’ and ‘bias’ are absolutely grounded in fact and are in response to your belittling of BNP progress by highlighting our 'also ran' status.
    2. If you read the previous posts you will see ample evidence-based rebuttals and see that you are clearly on a frantic anti-BNP attack.
    3. As with most anti-BNP protesters you work yourself up into a frenzy of hatred and insults, so I will kindly ask you to refrain from open and direct insults as this 'lowers the tone',
    I am sure our friendly Com_Publisher agrees with that.
    4. The UK Health Service, Transport Infrastructure, Schools and Education System and availability of reasonably well paid jobs for British workers have all suffered as a result of burgeoning immigration.
    Whole areas of British towns have been enriched by your wonderful diversity. Eventually the Britain we once knew and loved will be no more.
    The British electorate have to wake up to the EU con, before it is too late.
    The UK does not need an overwhelming influx of immigrants from all corners of the world, we were a successful world leading country before all that started.
    So called asylum seekers often cross 20 or so safe countries before getting to soft touch Britain and that makes them illegal immigrants in International Law.
    I am not racist or against other cultures, but I am against people like you, with your hidden agendas, destroying our country with your so called progressive ideals.
    Our agendas are not hidden and our policies are stated for all to see at bnp.org.uk.

    Labelling all criticism of your party ‘propaganda’ and ‘bias’ is such a crude and transparent tactic. Rather than presenting any evidence-based rebuttals of the accusations against you, you merely wail about a conspiracy. This is why I think the BNP should be allowed to air its views freely and openly. That way your victim complex isn’t indulged and people can see what tosh you spout for themselves. There’s no bigger victory than when a BNP member opens their mouth, as they often succeed in damaging themselves far more than any report or campaign ever could. That said, there have been a series of exposes of the BNP’s true agenda, all of which confirm that it is a hardcore, far-right organisation with zero tolerance of liberal democracy, ethnic minorities, free speech and anything else that doesn’t fit in with its blinkered view of the world. Your policies would result in the UK being alienated from the rest of the world, a prospect that may have you foaming at the mouth but which the majority of the population finds horrifying. You shouldn’t feel sad for us, we should feel sad for you. You’re devoting an intense amount of energy on the promotion of destructive and divisive policies that simply don’t fit in with a modern, progressive society. You’re completely out of tune with the age in which you live. Far from being the patriots that you so proudly label yourselves, you instead promote your personal bigotry above the wishes and needs of your country.
