IMMIGRATION - time to say NO!


On current demographic trends, we, the native British people, will be an ethnic minority in our own country within sixty years. To ensure that this does not happen, and that the British people retain their homeland and identity, we call for an immediate halt to all further immigration, the immediate deportation of criminal and illegal immigrants, and the introduction of a system of voluntary resettlement whereby those immigrants who are legally here will be afforded the opportunity to return to their lands of ethnic origin assisted by a generous financial incentives both for individuals and for the countries in question. We will abolish the ‘positive discrimination’ schemes that have made white Britons second-class citizens. We will also clamp down on the flood of ‘asylum seekers’, all of whom are either bogus or can find refuge much nearer their home countries.


Is this all that different from what blunkett wanted to do, but didn't have the bottle to do?

LAW AND ORDER - crack down on crime!

The BNP will crack down on crime and restore public safety and confidence. We will free the police and courts from the politically correct straitjacket that is stopping them from doing their job properly. The liberal fixation with the ‘rights’ of criminals must be replaced by concern for the rights of victims, and the right of innocent people not to become victims. We support the re-introduction of corporal punishment for petty criminals and vandals, and the restoration of capital punishment for paedophiles, terrorists and murderers as an option for judges in cases where their guilt is proven beyond dispute, as by DNA evidence or being caught red-handed.


Isn't this the way the things should really be?

Quote:
FOREIGN AFFAIRS - Britain's interests first!


Britain’s foreign relations should be determined by the protection of our own national interest and not by our like or dislike of other nations’ internal politics. We would have no quarrel with any nation that does not threaten British interests. We will maintain an independent foreign policy of our own, and not a spineless subservience to the USA, the ‘international community’, or any other country.


Well?

Granted there are no specifics about how these would be achieved, but on principle there is nothing here that even suggests racism.

I thought we weren't allowed to bring it back?

Just so there is no misunderstanding, can you, Dr Sigmund Mohammad, confirm that you empathise with the philosophies and policies of the BNP?

It is naive in the extreme to suggest that the BNP stand for anything other than rampant racism. Selectively quote from their manifesto if you wish, but ultimately their raison d'ętre is patently clear.

I'm sure this is hardly the place for this particular discussion, though.

That explains Dr Sigmund's racist outbursts against Arabs, then.

As far as I am aware, there are no positive discrimation schemes in the UK, as they are a direct breach of UK employment laws. And, without wishing to sound uncaring, the UK needs immigrants to do the jobs the rest of us won't do - we'd be in a bit of a mess without them.

Mind you, I can't dislike someone for their political views. I have a very good relationship with my ex-landlord, who is a Zionist. I think Zionism is racism, but I do like him as a person, although I detest his views on the subject.

Rather than attack Dr. Sigmund, why not test out his views with him on Metropol247?

I have the "Some Mothers Do Ave Em' DVDs and noticed a scene was cut from the episode where Frank and Betty move house. Frank ended up in a barrel of tar and is rescued by an Indian couple. The couple's appearance was totally edited out of the episode on the DVD. The last time is saw this particular episode on TV was on BBC1 in 1989 (though I guess it must have been repeated on UKG or BBC2 since then), but it went out uncut on that particular occasion. Shall is assume the cut was for political correctness, or perhaps some other reason?
