bluemonday Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I don't think the BNP are irrelevant unfortunately. They have enough voters to make it clear there are issues that need to be resolved. Mainly in removing ignorance and prejudice. And the need for the main political groups to listen properly to what concerns people instead of mere soundbiting when it suits. Extremists gain ground where the agrieved feel they are not being heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxman2 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 and both the tory and labour spin machines will not be able to demonise them forever .. working class people are angry and they will be heard as more become unsettled .. and only right too .. it will take new management aswell .. but they will eventually be an entity to be reckond with.

The political groups in the country are not there to listen to the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxman2 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 hitler was clever he kept his friends close and his enemies closer still.. plus he borrowed millions ..by todays terms tens of billions to rebiuld his country and secretly built his war machine at the same time .. he never had any intention of paying back so he ordered his chancellor to just keep borrowing and borrowing whilst taking a tighter and tighter grip on his country .. swap the names hitler // new labour .. and swap war machine for absolute power .. anyone notice the striking similarities.

La_Dolce_Vita Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Consider how Hitler gained power Oh I see what you mean, if they ignore the people then parties like the BNP crop up or would amass more support? Well I think that many people believe that problems are being ignored. But it is the bigots who use nationalism, patriotism, and xenophobic and overblow the issues, isn't it?

cheesemonster2005 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Well done Church of England. Being a member of the Clergy and a BNP member are not compatible. Being a decent member of the public and a BNP member are also not compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pragmatopian Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Is it ok to exclude a person from a job because of their political beliefs? Especially when that job is in the Church which is meant to be all about accepting the sinner or whatever? BBC Link Seems reasonable - members of the clergy cannot expect to receive the support of the church if they espouse views that are contrary to its doctrine. It's akin to a telephone salesman sacked for talking up the competition's products. Interesting that this has popped up in the same week as the Geert Wilders story.
