Thread Name: BS: BNP: What would you do?
Subject: RE: BS: BNP: What would you do?
Emma B, I suspect you've uncovered a worrying characteristic of the BNP. Namely that it's not just a sizeable number of voters who don't realise its true nature. I don't think a lot of their own members do either. I think they've joined because they are cheesed off with the major parties and see the BNP as a radical patriotic alternative.
The BNP appeals particularly to the politically clueless and naive. EG., Mrs Tovey-Jones. The best way to stop the buggars is to expose the leadership for the Hitler worshipping scum that they are.
Incidentally, it would be interesting to see how much of a correlation could be established between run down communities and BNP support. I say this because it seems likely to me that BNP electoral/membership success in Lancashire ex-mill towns and elsewhere may be due to loss of community following the destruction of local industries in the 1980s. Are we now reaping the whirlwind for the deeds of Margaret Thatcher?
