One in Five Britons Consider Voting BNP, Telegraph Poll Says
2009-10-25
When the government falls seriously out of step with the needs, indeed the basic requirements, of its citizens then parties at the extreme become more attractive. If government won't do the minimum to ensure the safety and welfare of its citizens then they'll go with somebody who promises to go for more than the minimum.
(Bloomberg) -- One in five Britons would consider voting for the whites-only British National Party, a YouGov poll for the Daily Telegraph said, two days after BNP leader Nick Griffin appeared in a British Broadcasting Corp. debate.

About 22 percent of voters would "seriously consider" voting for the party in a future local, national or European election, the Telegraph said, citing the poll. The BNP, which bars all except "indigenous Caucasian" people from membership, gained its first two European Parliament seats in June.

Griffin used his appearance on the BBC's Question Time to tell a record audience for the show of more than 8 million people that the nation should "shut the door" on immigrants, Islam is incompatible with British culture, and war-time leader Winston Churchill would have belonged to his party.

The BBC's decision to allow a member of the BNP to be a panelist on the show for the first time prompted violent protests outside the company's west London headquarters and sparked criticism from members of the three main parties.

#15  Stay there. Stay in England and help fix your nation. Running away is for tossers.

#14  Im seriously considering moving abroad for some quiet life . Britian is too full of nutcases imported by Labour . Im embarrassed to have so many ungrateful , sponging wretches in my home nation. To think I , along with others have spilled blood for this country to get it thrown back in my face by a bunch of tossers , bigots leeches and "intellignet braindeads" makes me sick to the core .

Stay there. Stay in England and help fix your nation. Running away is for tossers. You're in the fix you're in because all of you sat around and just watched as these idiots stole your country. Much like we did here. Only, we're about to do something about our idiots.

Getting rid of the Left is job one for a bunch of us. And we're going to borrow some pages from the Lefts playbook. My attitude, and the attitude of most of the group I am working with is: By any means necessary, the ends justify the means. It's for the children!

Try telling a lefty that sometime, their eyes bug out of their skulls and they start sputtering. It strikes fear into them, because they know it is coming and that they richly deserve what they are going to get.

#13  I recommend Georgia, but the property taxes are getting a bit carried away. Alabama has the tax situation well under control.

#11  While this is good news for the BNP, the real news is how it impacts the other parties. Hopefully Labour will drag down the Liberal party with it, but instead of the Conservatives getting all the benefits, the rightist parties will make inroads to drag the Conservatives to the right.

#10  Labour created the mess, BNP capitalise.

Its funny how when staunch islamists appeared on question time it was quite a healthy civilised debate . When bnp come on its a lynch festival with what I would call "modern 5th columnists" combined with other nutters spilling vitriol hate .

What made me laugh was the anti facsists outside , screaming for the debate not to go ahead , yet we live in a democracy . Even the main political parties didnt want it to go ahead , scared ? yes . . Crazy.

Nick Griffin did get shown up for what he is , but hes obviously touched a nerve with a large segment of the population . Namely immigration and the spread of Islam . You cant turn for upsetting some freaking group of people . We used to have a humour and laugh at ourselves , its gone .Put a bunch of al guardian readers in the audience and create total non impartiality . I cringe that society has come to this .

As for the BNP - any publicity is good publicity. They wont be getting my vote but Im seriously considering moving abroad for some quiet life . Britian is too full of nutcases imported by Labour . Im embarrassed to have so many ungrateful , sponging wretches in my home nation. To think I , along with others have spilled blood for this country to get it thrown back in my face by a bunch of tossers , bigots leeches and "intellignet braindeads" makes me sick to the core .


Anyway , not a well constructed statement , but I have just got back from the pub and this article aroused my curiosity.

#6  Do they know anything outside USA?

It was New York City, Paul2. A better question would have been, do they know anything outside their borough, whether Manhattan, Queens, or Brooklyn, never mind Staten Island. I found the same thing abroad among the natives. Most people anywhere are interested only in that which visibly affects their own lives. It's just that the rest of the world watches our films and television shows, and think themselves informed. The pontificating I had to endure, back in the day, over the trial of that black football player who'd murdered his white wife, from people whose own country had no concept of innocent until proved guilty!

#5  Some of us do indeed know a fair amount about places like London, including the wretched way we were treated there when it became known we were from the US.

Good luck with your domestic decisions. We've taken the hint and gone home as we've been so stridently requested to do.

Not a good thing for all concerned, I suspect, but there it is.

#4  Do they know anything outside USA?
Posted by Paul2


No Paul, sorry for the inattention, but most of us are quite ignorant of the affairs of our European cousins and would be delighted beyond your wildest imagination to remain that way. We've actually got quite enough to be concerned about with our very won buggering politicians and current overseas involvement in the war on terror. Moreover, we've noticed that our American involvement in the affairs of others is seldom welcomed and is generally accompanied by a costly premium of blood and sorrow. Best to simply move along and let our neighbors sort it out as they know best.

#2  Alot of English feel we have no identity.I travel to Scotland,Wales,Ireland and USA and see National flags everywhere.

Go to London,Birmingham or Manchester and you will struggle to see a St George flag as it may upset immigrants who live in OUR Country!

The average white feels like a second class citizen as Certain immigrant groups we treat with Kid gloves!

Labour has made a shamble of our immigration policy.Having been to New York recently i said to locals London is similar to New York re different nationalities.The New Yorkers were shocked by this news.Do they know anything outside USA?

#1  ...sparked criticism from members of the three main parties.

I'll bet it did. And what Fred said: you push people against a wall, and they'll grab the first rope that's lowered. I don't think I could bring myself to vote BNP if I were British, but I understand the "F-U" sentiment of doing it. What do our English Rantburgers think?
