It's a serious point. I just found it - http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standa...ris/article.do

Not sure if I'm missing the point here but 'watermelon smiles' - is that was they're calling a racist slur these days?

There is nothing much in it, just like there is nothing much with the anti-semitic ken stories.

I think the word "picanninies" is also on the forbidden list. Enoch Powell was soundly condemned for it in his "Rivers of Blood" speech.

The BNP lied about the Mega-Mosque, They have lied about Asian Gangs, I could go on but we have gone over this so many times before it's simply not worth it.

not worth going over again.

so the BNP are saying in the open what most people are saying behind closed doors and would never say in the street just in case they sound racist.

If we're talking about their anti-islamic/anti-asian/anti-african views then, No, Not everyone thinks that behind closed doors, that's simply what racists say to convince themselves they are not in the minority and that they are right.

Elections are private, yet it's still quite a minority who chooses to vote BNP. So the vast majority do not agree with them in private.

That Nazi jibe is a total non story, a journalist who follows you about at 1 in the morning hassling you, any fair minded person knows full well he used that remark as a jibe at the journalists behavior, not at his religion.

Frighten voters??? ROFL

The story isn't the point - the point is that the Mayor of London, especially one who spent so much of his time supposedly fighting racist and intolerant behaviour could stoop so low. He didn't even apologise after the event - what sort of example was that to set? If you want an example of bigotry you need not look much further than Red Ken.

trev, if you are going to post a BNP video, at least have the courtesy to link direct, rather than through YouTube (or were you trying to mislead people) - or didn't you realise the url was
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N02M0NUjXxg&eurl=http://www.bnp.org.uk/

Loved his comment about "the rabble inside and outside" - really connecting to the electorate, wasn't he?

I seem to remember another Bnp supporter constantly going on about the mega mosque. A user that was banned for his racist oriented posting in the end ? ?

For speaking the truth..great democracy we live in.

We can't say niff about the ethnic minority but can say what you like about the indigenous population and nothing get said!!

Why do you think most people are now voting the BNP...because they are sick to the back teeth of the left pc brigade.

OK...... course not

Here is an interview (18th April 2008) with Dickie Barnbrook, with some interesting comments / freudian slips (especially the one about non-indigenous Britains being "second-rate, er, second-element British" (about 3:30 onwards)), and the bit about him not being racist "my brother is married to an Afro-Caribbean - does it bother me? No, that's his choice. Would it be my choice? No" (4:30 onwards).

Most people - we are getting a little self-deluded, trev.

The BNP got approx 3% nationwide, just over 5% in the London Assembly elections - not even the most optimistic buffoon could, by any stretch of the imagination, call that amount "most".

When in doubt, use facts.
