Someone posted a BNP leaflet through my door the other day and I ripped it up and threw it in the bin as soon as I could.

did you see charlie brookers article in the guardian about the BNP political broadcast on tv? he likened it to a cheap pizza menu which is pretty much what it is, gaudy, bright colours and cheap. the opening line of the broadcast was 'dont turn it off' which is like saying 'dont be sick' to someone your about to sleep with.

anyway email will be sent.

I'm by no means a supporter of this stuff, but isn't this what is commonly referred to as free speech?

Oh yeah, you guys don't have that over there. Carry on.

Free speech is entitled until they become just plain offensive... and trying to get rid of all ethnic minorities seems very offensive to me.

Hey, if Hitler rose from the dead and ran for election would you just say, "meh, it's free speech!"

It's basically the same, these guys are just neo-nazis and proven to have links with such parties.

that little snot mark collet used to live near me in leeds. he could hardly show his face after that documentary was shown. i saw him walking to work one day and could hardly keep myself from punching the little bugger. i think i just called him a cunt and kept going. i wanted to hit him though.

I'm very torn on this matter. The problem, as I see it, is that if no-one bothered to kick up a stink about the BNP, they would be a minority concern, akin to the Green or somesuch. As it is, they've usurped NF and C18 (and other smaller factions) because they have a smidge of democratic clout. The thing is, I resolutely defend their right to exist, and naively hope that the world will do the decent thing and ignore them. One of the good things about not having a constitution is that as soon as they step out of line there's nothing fundamental stopping Whitehall from slapping them down like bitches.

BNP = British National Party or something, right?
I can't believe they're advertising! That's pretty fucked, spreading closed minded and old fashioned views like that.

Consider we ban public dissemination of views like that of the BNP well for a start that establishes a siege mentality on their part and nothing engenders support like being a victim, but will they stop? No of course not, those views simply go underground and in the meanwhile the BNP amps up their populist 'fed up with the system' anti-politics and eventually nobody knows what they're planning until after they are in office.

The problem is, BNP aren't stating exactly what they are doing, and are only presenting basic, positive facts about themselves. Obviously this is the point of advertising, but I'll be dammed if there's a brand of cereal I eat that has ties to Nazi organisations.

I hope you dont drink Fanta then ZEROpumpkins.

A broader question would be where is the appeal for the BNP coming from? Well it might have to do with the Bretton Woods system dismantled in the 1970s and Thatcher in the 1980s - I'd imagine an awful lot of people have been left suffering. Out of work, long hours and bad pay when they can get work, poor living conditions, etc. And among the ones hardest hit by this are the people who are supposed to do well. And they're left wondering whats gone wrong, they're atomized theres little or no social organization, the two main parties represent factions of the Business Party, and then along comes a group with a Big Lie to explain who is at fault.
Anyone doing anything to counter this?

I agree with what Glice says on this. E-mail has also been sent by me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Clear Channel a US-based organisation with quite a few links to Christian Fundamentalist organisations?
