BNP on question time.

[Northerner]

While im happy for people to want to conform more with how the British live. Should we not forget many of the Filipinos on here would be practising a religion many in the country would claim was anti British?

Should they convert to the Church of England? I dont think anyone would want them to and like many on here propose its all about balance.

While we are all happy to have Filipino Shops, cafes and resturants, im sure many other groups want to eat the food they grew up with as well.

Its all about balance. Im happy to celebrate diwali by sharing foods which are brought in by Skih and hindu co workers who we share Christmas foods with and the Muslims bring in foods on Ede.
No one imposes their (at the moment anyway) belives or thoughts on others.

The British Isles have asborbed people from many different backgrounds and relgions. While they may speak funny languages, or pray to other gods eat funny food.

Things do seem to have gone wrong in the last ten to twenty years things can be changed. The NOTW which I bought today for a voucher it had in it had some words and a tone which didn't surprise me on the subject.

One thing the News international paper is they do gauge the tone of a lot of people and from experience not always just White working class blokes.

Many working class Asians, Blacks also buy and read I notice.

Hopefully the Reds and the Blues will take on board and start to make the simple changes which mean all can live in a safe, tolerant British community.

Excellent post!

I think we can all agree that we have problems. Otherwise the BNP would be a bunch of losers sitting in some grubby pub talking to themselves (which they still are, but now they have gotten better at their game and got a lot more voters in return).

Everyone talks about values! British Values!

And does anybody know what British values are? No, not really. Because without a constitution and a state constantly in flux. Those values are changing with each generation. At least in the US they have Free Speech enshrined in law, the freedom of Religion enshrined in law (the only country I can think of that is by law without any religion). We need more of that! Instead of successive governments trying to reduce our rights more and more.

Why should a Muslim or a Jew or a Catholic pay taxes that goes to prop up the Church of England? And wasn't the church of England founded on the morals of a Man who treated women as pets, to be disposed of at will?

I would love to see a true Multi Cultural Britain where religion is not state run and religious schools get banned. They are an imbalance on education! Where there is an official language but people are allowed to speak whichever tongue they wish in their own community. But for business it must be in English (If the Chinese can do it with Mandarin and the Filipino's with Tagalog, we should do the same with English).

Who on this forum would deny they love a good curry? A good Chinese meal? A good Italian meal? Who likes Reggae music? The vast wealth of "stuff" we get from Multi Culturalism is amazing, with only a few problems arising.

The Salman Rushdie affair brought to light a serious problem in this country. Not those who protested against the book! Let people get upset if a book slanders or pokes fun at their religion. No, the problem was that the Government, the liberal elite. All of them criticized the author and not the people calling for his death. Likewise, Geert Wilders was criticized and banned from these shores. But those calling for his death are given little criticism. When did Dan Brown get a death sentence for his books? A lot of people didn't like them. The Vatican have criticized him, but we would never stand by and allow a priest to call for his death! Why give one group of people room to demand violence without criticizing them, much less condemning them!

Respect is the one thing we lack in this country. Respect for the rights of the person! The only party I heard saying stuff about Respect was the so called "Respect party"! A rebranded, repackaged socialist political group designed to get support from one group of people whilst upsetting another group of people (A Respect rally was awash with signs saying we are all Hamas now - a terrorist group dedicated to destroy all Jews), and ignoring another group of people (Gays and Lesbian issues were ignored in order to draw more support from Muslim areas)! Funny how they miss the point of their name...

Anyway.... I've forgotten where I was going with this! Ahh, yes.. The BNP!

Right... There is a divide in this country that no serious politician is addressing. There are generations of people who are left out of this country and the so called riches of this nation. They do not vote as they see the world of politics as a world of criminals. They do not care about anything except what they see in their street. And shockingly, they are more and more giving up on life itself. Wishing nothing more than a council flat with a TV and the odd trip to ASDA for a cheap beer at the weekend. Women are having Children knowing money will come from Benefits and are stuck in a position where if they do work, they lose money..

Children are growing up without wanting to better themselves. Read books, take up sports, take up the arts.. The lost generation is growing! Some politicians are seriously suggesting we need more immigrants to pay the taxes that these people will need to benefit from!

And the BNP grows because of the state of apathy!

I will never vote for the BNP because they stand against so much I hold dear. Yet, I will never seek to silence them. To defeat them we need to get back into those estates and try to fix the real problems, the real breakdown in society.

But I think it is too much work to do for any politician to accomplish, or am I just too cynical...
