Thread Name: The real Richard Bridge please stand up.
Subject: RE: The real Richard Bridge please stand up.
I recall the post. It wasn't written in *support* of the BNP, I think it was critical of politicians failing to heed the publics discomfort with immigration, and THAT lack of political interest in ordinary peoples concerns, being what is drawing people to the BNP?
It was just cut and pasted with a few alterations that made it sound so, much the same has happened with a few other posters comments.
I don't know the truth about immigration, whether much of it is happening or not. Because I simply don't see it. I've heard lots of anecdotal stuff about certain local seaside towns having a high proportion of fresh immigrants and it causing an increase in particular types of crime. But I've absolutely no idea if it's true. There are certainly more Eastern Europeans around than a few years ago (and that's reflected in fresh aisles in the supermarket to cater to their shopping habits) but not all that many as far as I can tell. And the fresh aisles in the supermarket, are as much impact as I'm aware of on local 'culture'.
