I have so many reasons to dislike the BNP that I consider it quite embarrassing to have to come to their defence - but you see, I believe in democracy and liberty and therefore have no alternative.In view of the 'amended' membership lists maliciously published this week and apparently also doctored to add the names of people who have never been members, as well as the publishing of the list in the first place being so appalling, I have to register my horror.
One of my first reactions is to say that I believe this will give more grist to the BNP mill! Many decent people will now vote for them as a reaction - and NO - it is not a clever ruse by Nick Griffin!
Last night on TV news, a leading leftie was wheeled out to describe the BNP as being 'racist' and advocating the sacking of its members who are in positions of authority.
This brings up two important matters. The first is that the BNP clearly attracts more racists than any other party but that does not make it racist per se [even though aspects of its constitutions are less than palatable] - and the frequent declarations from the far and liberal left that this is the case does not make it holy writ.
The left must refer to 'hidden nazi agendas' and as usual interpret being anti immigration as equating to thepurest of racism.
The second point regarding the lady on TV last night in her demands for sackings [or was it heads on platters?] is that surprisingly she was not calling for the sacking of all extreme lefties in positions of authority. I assume that the point must have slipped her mind!
