Are you a patriot if you vote for the British National Party?

Question

Are the bnp fighting for British Freedom- for our heritage and way of life.

Answer 1

You should vote for the party that you agree with.

Answer 2

No, the BNP are fighting for white people. That's never been an example of "British Freedom". Britain has always been a melting-pot of cultures; Viking, Celt, Breton, Roman, French, Dutch, Germanic - that's how we got this language of ours - the launguage of Shakespeare is a mixture of all these "foreign" influences, which make something indescribably British.

What can be more British than driving a German car to an Irish pub to drink Belgian beer, before stopping for an Indian meal, to get home and sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV?

No, voting for the BNP is not patriotic, as it is voting to exclude a large part of the British people - the very people, who, over countless generations, have made Britain what it is.

Answer 3

I think the question is phrased incorrectly.

The love of your country is completely seperate from your politics.
You have to assess their policies and how they intend to get there, that includes understanding the underlying implications.

I would like to leave the EU but if the only party promoting that was the BNP I would immediately support pro EU parties.

The BNP policies whilst sounding logical are based on selfishness. This is totally alien to the British concept and culture of looking outward and being expansive. It is our past expansiveness that is giving rise to some of the pressures, now that our Empire has gone. People who love our ideals and culture and share our values, but find that their own country is not promoting them, naturally seek a safe harbour.
This combined with the ease of movement and economic desperation is providing a ready 'commodity' for the criminals to smuggle.

We do need to police our borders properly but that should be about catching the drug smugglers and people traffickers, in itself it is only a part policy, having defended our borders we must at the same time tackle the reasons for such economic migration, that means returning to an expansive outlook.
Britain has become timid, intimidated into silence on so many issues because our unique history is being reexamined and we being confronted with some of the less positive results of our actions.

Sadly we have taken to aplogising to the nth degree and not 'demanding' recognition of today's realities. It has become a one way street and this has provided the BNP with the ammunition it needs to 'sound reasonable' on some issues.

You must look at how they would achieve it and keep in mind we all belong to a minority somewhere.

I cannot and never would be able to support a party that has a basic historic principle of blaming 'other' people for our own problems.

Answer 4

Those who support the BNP in no way represent true British values or patriotism. The BNP are actually the most unpatriotic political party in the UK, since they represent values that are completely alien to the vast majority of decent British people.

In addition It is official BNP policy to abolish the UK as a political state and to reunify Britain with the Republic of Ireland in a "Federation of tha Nations of the British Isles". How can any BNP supporter call themselves a "patriot while supporting such a policy?

The BNP represent the Fascist values that Britain fought so hard against during world war 2. Combat 18 - the paramilitary group who are closely associated with the BNP, use openly Nazi symbolism and rhetoric. The BNP have close ties with far right Neo-Nazi groups in Europe and with the KKK in the USA.

In a speech to BNP activists in 2006, Nick Griffin (BNP leader) said the following -

"We bang on about Islam. Why? Because to the ordinary public out there it's the thing they can understand. It's the thing the newspaper editors sell newspapers with. Some people say we should attack the Jews ... But ... we've got to get to power. It wouldn't get us anywhere other than stepping backwards.......... It would lock us in a little box; the public would think 'extremist crank lunatics, nothing to do with me.' And we wouldn't get power."

This is a clear admission of the BNP's Crypto-Fascist anti-semitism, as well as a good indication of the BNP's dishonesty in trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the British public.

Any true British patriot will oppose the BNP and everything they stand for.

Answer 5

No, they are fighting for the promotion of "British" people, this term being completely arbitrary, and in fact means "white people". Are you really a foreigner if 400 years ago your family fled persecution in France to live in Britain? Are you a foreigner if your family emmigrated from Ireland during the potato famine? Because that is what the BNP would have you believe - that ONLY people who immigrated to Britain before 1067 are British.

They state on their website that they believe all "foreigners" (read non-whites and Jews) should be "voluntarily resettled". Now I'm sure it may well start off as them going round to every non-white in Britain saying "please leave the country and return to where you come from" regardless if wherever they came from 100 years ago or whenever still exists (i.e. the ottoman empire the USSR etc) but it would soon turn into "get out. now." and then "leave or we'll kill you".

Now I'm sure everyone can agree that those who fought in WWII were patriotic. They died protecting their country from fascistic hatred and fear. How could you be patriotic by INVITING those same principles into power?

Answer 6

No! Some would say that only a traitor would vote BNP, because BNP want to change this country beyond recognition. They want to remove democracy, equality before the law, and would seek to remove a large number of people born and brought up in the UK, purely because of the colour of their skin.

BNP don't love our country, they love some perverted idea of what they could turn it into.

Who is the patriot? Is it the person who loves their country as it is, or the one who seeks to alter it to suit their rancid political dogma.

The BNP are a racist party, and you can come to your own conclusions about anyone who votes for them knowing this.

Answer 7

No, you can be a patriot and not vote for the BNP.
The BNP are a one issue party whose issues do not ring true in the vast majority of the British people. Stopping immigration will not help our schools or hospitals - it's a chronic lack of underfunding and selling off to the private sector.
My way of life is an open one, embracing many cultures. British society has always been mutlicultural. Accept it.

Answer 8

Have you not thought of diversifying your questions yet? Or sorry diversity is not what you want is it?
Our heritage, based on Anglo-Saxon, Norman, Roman, Viking, and many others coming to our land.
We use Scandinavian days of the week, Latin months, an Alphabet based middle east, Algebra from the middle east. Our laws based on a book called the bible (based on a fictional character) from the middle east.
Our favourite foods come from India and the Far East. Many of our great sportsmen and women are from African decent. Our premiership football teams would wither away and die without sports players from abroad. The NHS would crumble, fruit would waste in the fields. I could go on, but I bet you have got the idea

Answer 9

No the BNP are using the Illegal Immigration to get people on board, believe me if they get into power there will be more trouble than ever. think of them as thugs, i hate BNP as they are offensive and very much not what Britain is about.

Answer 10

No, you aren't. The BNP aren't fighting for OUR way of life, they're fighting to impose theirs.

If you want to vote for them, that's fine, but be aware, there's a natural hatred of all things that far to the right in this country. They aren't far enough removed from the Third Reich for my liking.

Answer 11

No your not a patriot if you vote for the BNP, you're a racist. They stand for anti-immigration, deportation of non whites and anti-multicuralism.
