If they can accept that the IRA have changed why not the BNP? Or is that just not PC at the moment?</p> What amazes me is how some politicians refuse to share a stage with the BNP but they’ll rub shoulders with ex IRA members who have murdered many British citizens!

But only 16% agreed that "non-white people were inherently "less British"", and a majority opposed the government encouraging immigrants to leave Britain.

They are protest votes but I'll feel better for casting them than being apathetic and not voting. Think of them as two fingers to all the Lefties in Holyrood and that, in various hues includes them all.</p> Well they can have my two Scottish votes.

For your informatio, recent opinion polls show that the majority of people in this country agree with the policies of the BNP. One more point - it has been shown that a high turnout at the polls improves the vote for the BNP.</p> I’ve just read the nonsense written by the anti-BNP mob.

Apart from the many ethical objections that could be levelled, what of the practicalities? How do you determine someone's religion? (Remember: a terrorist might actually lie.)</p> <p>Then here is Nick Griffin tying himself in knots: "In this official statement, party chairman Nick Griffin explains why, while the BNP is not racist, it must not become multi-racist either." Er, right.</p> I suppose that last year’s article calling for all Muslims to be banned from flying (google “BNP call to ban Muslims from our skies”) is an example of a rational, sensible new-BNP policy?

We are not racist, facist or nazi's. I am not 'full of hate' I am full of love!! Love for my country and its history, traditions, values and culture and wish to protect them for the future. Times have moved on with nu-labour and blue labour being completly different parties from how they started out, why will you not accept the fact that the modern BNP has changed also? Its not that difficult, just talk to any member now adays, go to a meeting and SEE for your selves instead of repeating rubbish spouted by our opponents to scare off voters so they can keep their noses in the trough riding the gravy train!!! Roll on May 3rd</p> I am standing for the BNP in Scotland and have to say you are deluded! We are not racist, facist or nazi’s.
