		<description>I would like to agree with the initial posting - I too am somewhat concerned about the BNP&#039;s apparent rising status. 

Many of the comments left on this page, showing support for the BNP, reveal some quite prejudiced and ignorant points of view. To give a couple of examples.... 

One person questioned whether women should be allowed to wear the headscarf here, suggesting that the opposite would not be true in a Muslim country. That&#039;s utter nonsense. I&#039;ve visited a number of Muslim countries, and in each of them the scarf was not compulsory either for Muslims or non-Muslims. The same person also commented on the banning of Christmas trees, music, crucifixes etc. I agree with her that this is unnacceptable and know that all of the Muslim friends who I have discussed this with feel the same way. Quite often the people who start these politically correct agendas do it on behalf of the group they are trying to &#039;protect&#039;. The group itself (in this case, Muslims) often has no issue at all!

Another person wrote that children should not learn about any religion other than their own before they were secure in their faith.... Well that can take decades, assuming that the child is ever going to find religion at all. I think a fear of learning about other cultures in case of being &#039;corrupted&#039; by them would just breed more ignorance and intolerance. As to that person&#039;s further suggestion that veils should be banned .... the fact that I can be who I am is part of the reason that I am proud to be British. I don&#039;t have to worry here about practising my religion, wearing what I want, being who I am... because we don&#039;t force people to conform. Forcing people to conform to a white, British, secular stereotype is just another form of oppression. Banning an item of dress is just the same as enforcing it. Muslim women don&#039;t go around forcing non-Muslims (or even other Muslims) to wear the headscarf - why on Earth should anyone have the right to force us NOT to wear it?!

Voting BNP, in my mind, would reduce everything that I love about being British and would certainly leaving me feeling more ashamed than proud of where I&#039;m from.</description>

		<description>Commonsense must now tell the British people that things really have to change. GO TO THE BNP WEBSITE and decide for yourselves. Anyone that claims the BNP are nothing more than racists have obviously NOT read the policies of the BNP.
The BNP REALLY are our last hope. I hope commonsense prevails because we are all in for a really rough ride otherwise. Why do you think so many Brits are fleeing our once beautiful country ?</description>

		<description>Well, I have lived in Sandwell - which already has BNP councillors, and there is a large Pakistani community here in High Wycombe. None of this has made me sympathetic to the racists!</description>

		<description>Ok
I have worked for the NHS for over 10 years and have witnessed great change and not in a particulary good way.  Some of these changes are evident in the form of agressive behaviour from asian males mainly towards white/black british female nurses.  They constantly spit on the floor (we are trying to eliminate the spread of germs on hospital wards!) they constantly use their mobile phones speaking in their native language shouting and disturbing sometimes very ill patients.  The men complain about mixed wards (for their wives) and when their requirements can not be accommodated  (and yes we are told to try and put them into private side rooms!) they are abusive.  Asian muslims visit the wards whenever they want, and yes you have got it, when they do not get their own way they become offensive and agressive.  The patients you are trying to help more often than not say they can not speak english, so you have to book an interpreter, this is very expensive and now has it&#039;s own seperate department.  Before now it has been a relative of the patient who interprets and then claims &quot;expenses&quot; from the NHS.

The doctors and nursers are the ones accused of being racists, well maybe over the past few years I have been driven to it.  You constantly hear issues in the news &quot;We can no longer call the traditional fairy story the Three little Pigs anymore just in case it offends Muslims&quot;.  &quot;One in seven pupils in Britain can not speak English&quot; and it will cost the tax payers another £50 million.

We have also heard about recent court battles involving muslim women and their rights to wear veils when teaching, if we visited a muslim country would we be allowed not to wear head scarfs? 

At Christmas we have been asked to turn off Christmas music because it is offensive to the minorites, and forget the Christmas tree!!!World cup, and the England flag, not anymore! Can I wear my crucifix for work? No! Again it is offensive!!!  

Just to add insult to injury, I dropped off my children at school recently and a teenage asian boy was wearing a T&#039;shirt which read on the front &quot;THE QUEEN MAY BE YOURS&quot; and when he turned around on the back it read &quot;BUT THE COUNTRY IS OURS&quot;, I am sterting to agree.  

I now ask myself about the future, yes for myself BUT what of my children? and what about my beloved country, the country which ironically has turned me into a racist?

I consider myself middle class, but due to all of the above, I will be voting BNP from now on.</description>

		<description>I agree that immigration is a problem in the UK. i think the main problem is the fact that many people are uneducated. When i first lived in peckham, i thought the same things you do but i have met many respectful and civilised non white people.The main reason i don&#039;t like the BNP is because they believe that all non-white people should be deported. i belive immigrants who are not doing anything (eg studying)or who aren&#039;t contributing (or will evntually not) to our society should be deported...but not all of them...that is going way to far! Britain has a fantastic history and i understand why people might be all for the the Bnp. But the fact is the BNP aren&#039;t all that friendly too
those who aren&#039;t british or who are gay.  
think of the the consequences......all the non white tourists (there are loads)  won&#039;t feel welcome. Many artists will label the area racists leaving us with a stupid stereotypes.
We will difinstely lose business with other countries and won&#039;t be really welcome when we visit.

I understand the complete and utter hatred Nick Griffin (BNP leader) feels against the middle east and the islam religion. I am not fond of it as well but some comments he made about the religion and the people were completly unessasary. i mean you can&#039;t go around labelling muslim (don&#039;t think i spelt that right) men as rapists towards white women, that&#039;s just really pathetic. I mean that is just taking the easy way out isn&#039;t? Immigration is one of the touchiest subjects but taking the most easy option ( kicking all of them out) is not the best way...is it? What we need to do is set up a system . So we could interview those who wish to come to the Uk, ask them what they want to do and such then someone could decide on the basis of their in- terview whether or not they may enter the Uk and the terms and conditions that apply with it (they can&#039;t have any children, they must study this).
i do believe in multiculturalism but i don&#039;t believe in multi-religion (is that a word)The UK has mainly been of a christian religion. you may practise your religion at home but not at school. i think veils should be banned! i don&#039;t believe children should learn about any religion other than there own until they firmly believe in there christian background no other faith should be taught to them until a suitable age. i don&#039;t believe that muslim children or even adults should wear veils to school or work. i even personally dont believe that there should be any mosques or such  in the UK. If a christian person went to live in a muslim country they would not be aloud to practice their faith at all so if they come to the uk they shouldnt be aloud to either!  

And all this crap about immigrants taking over the country......what the hell did the british and dutch do to south africa? so its a kind of pay back....innit?

danny...what has bermonsey being the last &#039;white area&#039; on london got to do with anything?

david conner...&#039;Africans are rude and aggressive&#039; &#039;eastern europeons are savage criminals&#039; &#039;These people have a savage and primitive culture towards women , children and british people in general&#039;...

 racist [ ráyssist ] 


adjective  
 
Definition: 
  
1. based on racism: based on prejudices and stereotypes related to race

 
2. prejudiced against other races: prejudiced against all people who belong to other races
.....that about sums it up.

		<description>Hi I have read all the comments above with interest. I come from pre-Roman Briton and I am extremely angry at all the BNP supporters who CLAIM British heritage. We Celts have been over run by these pasty faced morons for too long. We didn&#039;t invite them. They invaded. We want all of them repatriated as soon as possible please.</description>
