The Serious Post
It comes to something when you are walking back from the Post Office wondering whether you should remove the British Flag from your blog header. The events of the last 48 hours are worrying. The BNP has two seats in the European Parliament. One of them belongs to Nick Griffin, who, not only seems to act like Adolf Hitler, also looks a bit like him.
The fact that the BNP have been voted for at all alarms me; the fact that they have had such a large vote in some areas scares me to death. As a rule I am of the opinion that your views are your views. If you vote one way and I vote another, I really don't care. We'll still go to the pub together and we'll still share the crisps. But now I'm not so sure. If you supported BNP I'd probably look down on you. I would probably think you lack intelligence. I would probably not go to the pub with you. It may not be an entirely fair judgement though.
I don't know if you have had a chance to look at the BNP Constitution, but if you haven't, don't worry, I have taken one for the team and done it for you. Now, the BNP have continuously campaigned with the words 'we are not a racist party' emanating from every orifice. If you look at the highlighted paragraph above, you'll see that they most certainly are.
People have been duped. I can understand how listening to Nick Griffin harp on about, 'British jobs for British workers' and, 'Bring our boys back from an illegal war', would make some people think this is an appealing party to put a 'X' beside. But supposing Nick Griffin had the chance to bring back our boys. What would he do with the thousands upon thousands of non-white troops? Men and women that put their lives on the line so he can have a voice? What will he say to them? Will he allow them to stay in Britain? Will he send them packing? This is what we are dealing with here.
Surely people wouldn't have voted BNP if they had really thought it through. If they had read the constitution. Surely they don't actually agree with what the BNP really stands for? If they do, I fear for Great Britain.
Oh, and the Union Jack is staying. I am not particularly proud to be British today, but if I take it down it means I associate it with the BNP. And I don't. The Union Jack is much, much more worthy.
