Nick griffin, if the BNP want to be taken seriously, needs to step down cos his past is overshadowing anything else and get someone in who's squeaky clean and can be taken seriously. |

All I am trying to say in all this debacle is that there is a much bigger picture than just the BNP and Griffin.
I am not racist, homophobic or religious----everybody to their own but don't try and ram it down my throat. What I do indoors or think in my head is for me to decide. What is done in the name of whatever in public is a different matter as this can influence a lot of people who can't reason and form on opinion of their own and these groups play on this. We live in a democratic[allegedly] society and the power we have is, as a voter, therefore if a party or person is using their entitlement to free speech I have the choice to listen or not listen but everybody has to be given this equal opportunity to do this providing what is being said doesn't contravene race/religious/hatred laws. I do try and keep a broad spectrum so that I can form an educated opinion as to what I consider the best policy and vote accordingly Unfortunately we are all different in this,thus the different parties, and I have yet to find the one that fits my perfect ideals so I use what is available out of a bad lot. I just think that classifying people and putting them down for what they are is not the answer,hence my somewhat controversial replies |

By the way I have found this an interesting debate.

Another point, Following on from what YC said regarding sterotypes, we all probably have some kinda view about certain races or nations which could be perceived as racist by some, but the fact of the matter is majority of us make up our minds on people who we meet in our day to day lives regardless of colour etc, some are dicks some are good people.
I find some other cultures fascinating, i have spoken to a lot of indian doctors who have been colleagues of my wife and they have been really interesting people, far more so than some english ![]() What im saying is, we might all think dont want bloody germans or pakistanis or muslims or whoever over here but individuals when we meet them we relax our views on them as we have actually met them and got on with them. Struggling to get my point across so if i have confused anybody then that makes two of us. ![]() |

well I thought it was an Ok programme - but it was centred on the BNP.. which it was always likely to be-- which is what he wanted..
We live in a democracy - a million folk voted for him so he has the right to be on there.. However, there is a postal strike on and it wasnt discussed. it seemed to be a set up with a hand picked audience that wanted to hang draw and quarter him.. bit of a witch hunt really I thought rather than the usual debate that question time is.. |

it did seem very immature and like a mob picking on one guy instead of a reasoned and sound debate on important issues waste of time tbh it just showed them all up.

![]() If that is the case then, everyone who is not from the UK, should probably view the UK population as a bunch of football yobs who pretty much get into a fight with foreign fans every single time they attend and international sporting event! I am from the UK, but for the past 3 years have lived in a number of different countries. I also work in an industry where I have a lot of foreign colleagues. One thing I have come to realise from this experience is how much the British population is prejudiced against other nationalities. My family is like this and makes me feel embarrased to be British sometimes. |
