HelenB, Paul Burke and Crow Sister,

As I have repeatedly said on this board and everywhere else, there is NO EXCUSE for the BNP. Never Surrender!

The response to HelenB's justifiable list of concerns is for aggrieved and concerned people to insist that the democratic political parties - whether they be Lib/Lab/Con, whatever, to do the following;

*Build more hospitals
*Build more schools
*Build more social housing
*Increase the minimium wage
*Enforce the minimum wage ruthlessly for *all* workers so the playing field is level.

The response to a lack of social resources is not to find scapegoats and "send 'em 'ome", becaus the same shortages will persist unless governments start dealing fairly with the people *all people*. "Send 'em 'ome" is one step from "Lock 'em 'up" and that was, in the last Nazi country in Europe, one step from the gas chambers.

HelenB, BNP "sympathisers" need to get a grip on this issue. The racist. fascist hardcore of the party will just keep on picking targets and scapegoats because their lives will never improve because they will never take responsibility for themselves. Their problems will always be someone else's fault. that is why they cannot be reasoned with, why they cannot be tolerated or humoured.

Maybe you need to ask yourself the question that *they* need to ask themselves which is, instead of calculating and resenting what you believe other people are "getting", why not do something positive yourself that actually improves your own life in your own community!
