My chief concern regarding the BNP getting any publicity is that, generally, racist attacks increase whenever they raise their racist heads, and I can almost guarantee that it will be no different on this occasion.

The BNP is born of ignorance, populated by ignorance and supported by the ignorant.

That is a fear, but in the same breath, that's not enough of a reason to restrict freedom of opinion or the BBC's impartiality.

I'm hopeful that the public are about to make it clear, beyond any doubt, that this party does not represent the majority of our citizens. I'm hopeful that this will allow free expression of views, coverage of the truth.

Already, the BBC have been showing a background of Nick Griffin, his National Front involvement, his criminal history...

i,ve got some questions for people.

If you like a race over an other race is that racist or just natural stick to your original race

If you have friends off other races but want the oringal people who manned this land to have first choicein things like housing, ect. Is this racist ?

i am asking because i am unsure.

surely because you favour a race does not mean your racist maybe just being unfair.

On the immigration issue, these people are very quick to give the simple answer of "kick them out", but they fail to address the reason they are here.

These people come to Britain because, most of the time, we are or have been bombing the crap out of their country to secure oil or some other commodity.

We, along with America, attack anywhere we like for financial gain. We side with global groups to force trade restrictions and embargo's on already poor nations, and then wonder why millions of people have to leave that country to find work!

How about, instead of demanding that our leaders stop immigration, we demand that our leaders stop bombing poor people, stop enforcing unfair trade laws on them, start working with other nations to make their country more habitable?

We need to find reasons for people to want to remain in their own nations, and at the moment, we're adding to the problems for these people and then complaining when they want to come here for a better life!

We should be proud that our country is so desirable, but we should also be ashamed that our leaders have consistently forced this on such people. They have no choice but to find security, safety and a future elsewhere, because we've screwed up their own country for our benefit!

of course this guy should be allowed on the show. why not? what's the worst that can happen?

people ask him questions that vaguely challenge his stance, and make him look like a fool or they are plants, and directly make him look foolish (but that scenario is the cynical american in me speaking)

either way, keep us updated, i have no clue as to how to tune in to this, or even see the tape of it, as i am across the pond. i'm interested to see if he gets reamed or what. thanks for the info.

Yes, I am well aware of that, as I mentioned in my initial post.

I still have concerns for the rise in attacks that will inevitably arise from the publicity garnered due to this.

I doubt very much that those making the decisions to allow this to go ahead are going to be victims of a racial attack on the street though, it's easy when the repurcussions do not affect you directly.

As I've said, instead of making the very simple statements of "British first" and "end immigration", people need to think logically of why people would choose to leave their own country and come here, and most of the time, it's because of unfair restrictions and the damage we have caused to their own economy.

That don't mean the UK or an other country has to be irresponsable with there Immigration. The Immigration IS out of control, it needs sorted out big time.

I usually restruct myself from commenting about the BNP as I know how the vast majority of the UK population has fallen for G.Browns dishevelling and demonising of this party.
The BBC is funded in part by G.Brown, and as such, parties like the EDL/BNP pose a significant threat to Browns future in Parliament. The BBC wants the "top 3" parties to be in the runnings for elections and anyone who is patriotic to this country has the inevitable task of being called Racist, simply because its the easiest category to label them as.

Its all playground talk and little politics, the campaigners against the BNP fall into the hands of the other parties by believing the Slander there told instead of listening or researching the BNP themselves. I find it insulting that OTHER people should have to tell me who I should vote for, especially those who dont belong in this country.

Would anyone from England here go to any other Mid-East/Asian country and cry Racism if the party in that country was patriotic and wanted change?, of course not..so why should we accept it here, especially when our culture is dying out. Crime against white people is the majority and theres no jobs for anyone anymore and were still expecting a population rise of 1.7 million in the coming years.
