Every election time, commentators and political activists constantly warn of the threat of one party being on a verge of a breakthrough… that party being, of course, the British National Party.
What is it about the BNP which brings out anger and delight in equal measure? Maybe it is because, unlike the mainstream parties, they actually do speak their minds on major issues affecting the country today, which makes them in their eyes, ‘controversial’.
Despite being a democracy, this country wants to ban them from either attending public functions or holding protest marches in major cities, of which being a legitimate political party, has a right. Okay, so many of their members have criminal convictions, but there are far more criminals in among the 646 Members of Parliament who are supposed to be representing the people.
Despite winning scores of council seats (mostly from Labour), and getting huge support, over the last few years, many commentators still routinely ignore and dismiss the BNP at every opportunity. Yes, that’s right, those same commentators who failed to take on the Labour government over their conduct on the Iraq war, the curtailment of civil liberties, the Gurkhas, and so on.
Despite the fact that a majority of British people support their policies, it didn’t in the past mean that it would get them a lot of votes. But in this anti-political and anti-Westminster public mood, it seems almost inevitable that they may, after the European elections, get the major breakthrough they crave.

Give the BNP a political platform–give them a chance!
The BNP is a bit rough at the edges; so what, it is a young party. The problem, of so called queue jumping job seeking East Europeans, is a manageable/avoidable short term issue; ironically, Poland is smack in the middle of our wonderful continent; I am led to believe that the area, around Vilnius is Europe’s geographic heart. The real insidious, irreversible war???: that is being waged on European Civilization, is being fought and lost in the maternity wards, throughout the length and breadth of the UK and Western Europe. Asiatic/African Moslems breed at a far higher rate than white Europeans. This is going to cause serious demographic racial/religious nightmares down the line. At least the BNP has the guts and nous to discuss this fundamental issue publicly! Can you seriously suggest to me, that the greedy New Labour Party (the rich gets rich, the poor gets poorer) defends the interests of the white British working class. I only wish it did–class traitors but not all. Why can’t the Moslem and Jew leave white Christian Europe in peace? I love a bacon sandwich, as things are going they will not be on the menu in 100 years time. Forget your politics; our children will never forgive us for our cultural betrayal.
