Babes of the BNP

I know it's ridiculous, but so are BNP supporters.

"I wouldn’t mind them if they actually worked and didn’t take all of our jobs, basically."

This contradiction seems to be the crux of most BNP supporters argument.

I work in the NHS. If everyone that wasn't born in the UK was made to leave the country the NHS would collapse. Many people would die. These people aren't taking jobs, they're filling them.

Here is another view point from the comments section of the article:
"what's happening in the UK is the government has adopted the policy of Canada and 'multiculturalism' and have put forth the view that there is no such thing as British culture, that all the immigrant cultures are just as relevant.

This is conceivable for Canada because it's a brand-new country that really IS made up entirely of immigrants.

This doesn't work for Britain, which has a genuine centuries-old culture. "

I don't need to point out that this person is literally a moron. I'm not even sure if this person went to school, or if they did that their history lessons were the same as mine. During Years 3 to 6 (age 8 to 11) we learnt about the Saxons, VIkings, Romans and Normans - all of whom invaded Britain at some point.

It seems that the BNP's ideal of British culture is based on completely false ground where they're allowed to pick and choose what they consider as "tradition".

We'll take winning two world wars and one world cup, but lets ignore the concentration camps of the Boer War for now. We'll take pride in defeating Hitler but at the same time, lets adopt and reword half his policies to use in our manifesto.

It seems to me that culture is based on progress. The BNP is a party living in the past, unwilling to progress. They are more an island than the country itself. Their idea of British Culture did not exist 200 years ago and it won't exist 200 years from now. What they are fighting for is completely pointless and serves only to increase pain and suffering in the world.
