Are the BNP embarrased?

Question

As some of you are aware, I like to answer questions about the BNP. Specifically, the fact that if they took power, that they would limit our rights to vote.

I even posted a link http://www.bnp.org.uk/candidates2005/manifesto/manf16.htm Strangely, after doing so on questions asked by a BNP member who is trying to become a councillor, the link location has been removed on the BNP website.

Do you think that it is a strange coincidence, or do you think that the BNP do not want us, the UK electorate to know the truth of what kind of Britain they would inflict upon us if they took power?

You can download the manifesto which states this here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/vote_2005/frontpage/4476279.stm still.

For jack.marlinspike the poll you refer to says no such thing. http://www.ukpollingreport.co.uk/blog/archives/196 And my apologies for not spelling embarrassed correctly.

Answer 1

Unfortunately I believe that the BNP don't get embarrassed about anything, otherwise they may moderate their views.

Like many who show extreme views, they exploit the populace's feelings of social deprivation and unease by targeting a particular group or groups and using propaganda about issues that give genuine concern to widen their support. It's a technique that's been used by the most villified ellements in history and is still used by many governements and religious and social groups in almost any culture.

Answer 2

I really don't know what it would be like if BNP came into power, the experience I have of where they have sitting councillors is that they don't do anything to implement their manifesto promises.
They have seized on the main issues of concern to most UK citizens, that of over population and crime associated with too many illegal and other immigrants, but they would never be able to do anything because our instructions come from Brussels.
The solution is to have two separate referenda,
1. We must have one referendum, promised by the present government but now they are scared of holding it, on whether to accept the European Constitution.
2. Do we want to stay in Europe.
The two must be kept entirely separate and not interwoven as happened when the present shower asked Londoners a two part question in one on whether they wanted a mayor and a revamped Greater London Council now known as the Greater London Assembly. This was set up consisting of 14 directly elected "councillors" supplemented by 11 losers, so that labour would almost certainly nearly always have the controlling influence.

Answer 3

What annoys the Reds more than anything else, is that if you ask the ordinary English working bloke or lass what they want to happen in the running of the country, what they want is almost exactly the BNP manifesto.

There are a lot of nutters out there who have provided ammunition for anti BNP propaganda but most of the time they are not even party members, and this has led to a poor image with the average voter.

Just before the last general election, an opinion poll showed the BNP manifesto to a large sample of voters, but didn't tell them which party it was, 73% of the sample said they would vote for those policies.

Answer 4

Natty is wrong. Most English people don't support the BNP. If they did, they would get a lot more votes than what they are at the moment.
The main problem with them is that they claim to be the champion of 'free speech' - then they abuse it. So it has happened to you as well!
When they have policies like incorporating the Irish Republic into the rest of Britain, it just shows their imperialistic side. You can't go back to the 1920s - there were murders and rapes even then.
Thanks for the link - at least I won't have to go to their odious website in future.

Answer 5

Not embarresed more afraid that some people will read what they say and think, I wonder has someone said to them "I work for a person who is not a Christian. so will the company close if this bunch ever got in". I think there is one of them on here that does the web site so he sees what people are bringing up as what is wrong and he changes that part. I did notice after raising repeatedly their policy on mixed marriages that disappeared as well.

That is some party, that changes policy when someone brings it up.

Answer 6

Unlike free choice from the most popular parties, the BNP are extremely fussy about who joins, you have to pass certain criteria, like - what race were you parents, grandparents, great grand parents etc., and to divulge information on their parties' policies to any Tom, Dick or Steinburg, is not allowed, unless you know the secret hand shake or show your tattoo. One thing is for sure, ethnic cleansing on a HUGE scale will be the tip of the iceberg in their manifesto. If you consider yourself British, don't have anything to do with them.

Answer 7

The BNP embarrassed. Their to hard faced for that.
What they do need is to be brought down a peg or two and be faced with public humiliation.

Answer 8

Learn to spell "embarrassed". Then, if you read the BNP manifesto, read it properly.

Answer 9

Hi,that's what the BNP have always stood for & thats why I hope they never ever get into power.I think it is worrying as people become disillusioned they might turn to them.I do not think it will happen in my life time but I beleive it will happen.

Answer 10

A lot of their views are very relevant to the average Englishman but it is the way they might put them into practice that is not acceptable.
However, they would have to be in power to do this and that is never going to happen, with a population such as we have nowadays.
