I find it not a little ironic for SN, which has many times shown it's disdain for Christianity and belief in Jesus, to support Nick Griffins view in Islam threatening this great Christian country we live in!

As Bonnie pointed out last night, there is no indigenous UK population, the closest there is were the Neaderthals, who are now extinct, so we are all immigrants.

Also, up until about 400 A.D., Christianity was unheard of in these isles, so for most of the period that humans have been here, the religion was not Christianity either. I'm sure alot of the same things being flung about by NG and his idiot cronies were said by the people during the Roman invasion, the conversion from Paganism to christianity, the Angles, the Saxons, the Danes, the Normans.

The UK is, perhaps, the ulitmate expression of humanity mixing, in language, culture and tradition. Whether you think that is a good thing or not is another matter. But, if you do not, remember that the UK you yearn for is still the product of the same process you fight against now. It is utter hypocrisy and stupidity.

NG and the BNP are just a bunch of unpleasant, racist bigots, and anyone who votes for them, or even agrees with some of their rantings should be thoroughly ashamed.

Sorry Geezer but asking me to bear in mind things which were relevant over 1,500 years ago is just ridiculous. Yes we're a product of a lot of influences, but only very recently have the non-Caucasian non-Christian influences been so apparent. Ask any foreigner (ha!) - "British" means **** all these days. And i'm unapologetic in finding that a very sad state of affairs.


(its disdain. it's means it is )

I think you'll find that the influence of immigrants in recent years, or indeed the past 100 years haven't been anything like they were in the instances I mentioned. They literally changed everything. Certainly in the case of Romans and Normans, the "indigenous" population became second, or even third class citizens!

Despite propaganda, Asians, Black, eastern Europeans are still very much a minority in this country. Even with projections, they will remain to be a minority long after you are dead.

I thought it was quite an asute move on the BBC's part to allow Griffin on Question Time. It showed him up for the idiot he is. Utterly unable to give a straight answer (and not just because of the barracking). His turnarounds without explanation just dug him deeper into a hole. It's only shame that he wasn't asked questions on other facets of BNP policy on things like health, the economy etc. It would been even more apparent then that this mad and his party have nothing to offer other than racism.

when i watched QT last night i found jack straw came off the worst in my eyes as he just seemed to be a slimey bloke who had nothing to add to the debate, just personal attacks on NG.

i agreed with griffin about people coming to our country have to accept our views and not preach to this country, especially about the koran and sharia lawand i also agreed with him on the subject of not teaching primary school children about sex. also agreed that gay sex should not be taught to school children, i'm not a homophobe but i do believe that a child finds it hard enough to live a childhood without having more things too confuse them.

personally i believe he done quite well considering that the bbc is labours real spin doctor and having nearly all the crowd against him and feel they should get him back on there back in somewhere like bradford where he will get a chance to speak.

Oh i agree, Geezer, nobody could argue that they have coherent policies. But then they don't need to have, because they know that in all likelihood they're only ever going to be a minority, protest vote. What irritates me though, is that the British population are sold this "we're SUCH a better country" as a result of all the immigration in the last 20 years, whereas in fact, there's very real, deep-seated resentment and discomfort out there about what this country has become. When is that ever going to be properly recognised, let alone addressed? Never, by the looks of the way the media handled events like yesterday.

Why does that make him a moron? The videos are out there - go and do a search rather than waiting for someone to spoon feed you.

I think it's very much down to the media Tel. As with most things (like paedos for example) the reality does not reflect how the media protray it.

There is resent,ent, but almost entirely without foundation. For example, one of the real problems with this country is the benefits system and the way that a not inconsiderable portion of the population has simply given up as it is not economical to work. How, the media would have us believe that immigrants just come over here for our benfefits, but in reality the worst excesses of benefit abuse is by the incumbent population! The base, white, Christian people who NG seems to hold so dear.

I was in London the other week, and everywhere I went, all the low paid jobs were done by foreigners. Now, this deosnt' mean that they are 'nicking our jobs' but it means that they are prepared to work. They come from a country where work is seen as a privelege. They can fill these jobs because the lazy Brits would rather sit at home claiming a similar amount of benefit!

I'm not saying that the government shouldn't tackle immigration, if only to assuage people's fears and for simple numbers, but the immigrants are not really the problem here.

I have never seen the videos on YouTube having seen them before on two serparate documentaries. I don't need to see them again to know what a racist ***** Griffin is.

Seems far more likely you don't want to find them yourself if you ask me - might spoil your wonderful view of your beloved BNP.

Again, i take your points, Geezer. Blind racism is ignorant. For me personally i have no problem with the colour of the person, as long as i don't feel that the lifestyle of their originating country is being imported lock stock and barrel into the UK along with them. It's the dilution of the British national identity that i really struggle with.

Talk about jumping on a bandwagon with the abuse directed at Nick Griffin last night! Very easy to take the spotlight off yourself when all the emphasis is on the BNP. Very transparent as always, and Jack Straw is a tw*t.

I'm not a BNP supporter but I understand what he was meaning by the "indigenous" population...only an idiot wouldn't understand that. About 90% of the people on question time last night were namby pamby Daily Mail reading pussies! No wonder the country is in the state it's in with people like that getting all the limelight.

The whole show resembled a scene from primary school, with all the other kids putting down the unpopular one to look cool, with their views so unconvincing they were laughable.

Like it or not, the BNP is winning support now and people do not want these immigrants flooding in. I would just be happy with a Britain where everyone is equal, not where homosexuals, muslims etc are given some sort of priority over everyone else. Take the example of abu hamburger, or whatever his name was. Look how mild the BNP are in comparison, and look how much stick Nick Griffen was given last night on question time. Muslim extremists who believe they are right in blowing up people from the west get less flack. Lol it really is ridiculous. Talk about double standards.

This totally limp wristed attitude(no offence to homosexuals) is present in UK politics now and it needs to change.

i have nothing against gay marriage i believe they also have the right to be Miserable too lol

in regards to uk been a christian country not sure about that one i didnt know the bible alowed gay marriages, gambaling and sex before marriage. im not a saint as i have to admit i do place the odd bet here and there and i certainly had sex before marriage.

the audiance last night were against NG which was very biased from the bbc i do agree with certain ponts that he made about the immigration and our troops that we pay there wages are fighting in irag, afghnistan and soon to be fighting against iran.

but i think he has the whole muslim thing wrong i thought he would know better after chilling with Kadafi. i got to a lot masjids and no one ever talks about turning britan in to a muslim state. thats something that some nutter has said and now a lot of people think muslims want to change britan THAT AINT TRUE! i also believe a lot of NG supporters are ignorant not all but most.

Mustafa. Question for you. The women who walk around with the pillar-box veils on. You know the ones. Covered head to toe except for their eyes.

Why are they in the UK if their beliefs are obviously so rigidly Islamic? Why not go and live in an Islam country? What does the UK offer that their home countries do not?

All low paid jobs in the US seems to be filled by foreigners.

Because we have signed up to the EU, and those are the rules. Right or wrong, that's how it is. Also, if the BNP got in, we wouldn't take any immigrants, whether they benefitted us or not. I'm sure a quick search would throw up a list of immigrants who have made great contrbutions to the UK.....

If the jobs weren't filled with foreigners then there might be more of a push to get the dole scroungers back in to work.
I find this argument hard to counter, to be honest, but only on the part that benefit scroungers should be made to work (or encouraged by the fact that work would be more beneficial anyway!). However, the point I made is that immigrants are not here to scrounge, but to work. A point which seems to have goe completely over your head

This is also to blame on the EU and the fact Poles and any other member states can just up and leave their own country and pile into the UK when ever they like.
Why would you have this view? Once again, I point to the fact that Britain is wholly made up of immigrants. Some of our greatest people would not pass some 'Britishness Test' that the BNP (or people like yourself, so it would seem) would like to have.

You also neglect to mention that the number of eastern Europeans is actually reducing, as they are returning back to their countries of origin in greater numbers than they are coming over at present due to the lack of work. That hardly fits in with the state of affairs presented by the BNP.

Are you actually a member of the BNP? I have the list of members here in front of me....................

It's a much easier place to get by with benefits and such.

Well i'm sort of hoping there's more to it than that, Mr Kiss. Because if there isn't, who can blame those who would rather see them on the first plane back to Saudi Arabia or wherever?

I hate to sound like i'm standing up for Nick Griffin as i think he's a dick but why are other politicians allowed to forget about their past yet he isn't allowed too? Or are you only allowed to forget about your shadey past if it benefits the mainstream parties?

Over here in Northern Ireland we have two murderous Republician terrorists in power, yet you daren't mention that as its all in the past! Now for all Nick Griffins sins i doubt he's had people murdered, especially not British people.

I'm no BNP fan but he made 3 good points last night

1. Leave the middle east to run its own affairs

2. Shut the borders, we're full.

3. Anyone coming here, live like we do (or did) - See Australia for a good example of how this works

As already said, when a mainstream party adopts these points it will wipe the floor with the competition

Regardless of most people's view of the BNP and their unpleasant policies which have been demonstrated in the past, it would have been wrong to prevent him from appearing on QT. To suppress his party would have been a crime against free speech and it would have been an indication of the future police state mentality which threatens us all.

He was clever enough to sidestep those offensive policies but the electorate really are not so stupid that they cannot see through it all.

There are policies of theirs nevertheless which are sensible with regard to what has happened to this country over the last 12 years or so. The others are too frightened of the PC Plonkers to state them!

An awful lot of people and much of the media is trying to make capital out of the programme by making a big fuss about nothing-as ever of course!

The worst performance by far was that of Straw who dithered and laid on the slime-in spades! and who was totally lost when it came to a meaningful defence of uncontrolled immigration as practised by his party.

I thought the black woman sitting next to Griffin was very impressive in most respects. But then she is not a politician!

Opportunities? Like what? Can you be specific? Financial opportunities to live off the British welfare state you mean? What does opportunities mean? Are there no opportunities in Saudia Arabia then? After all, they're Muslims, and that's an Islamic country, surely there are lots of opportunities there too? Please explain?

its funny you say that i was born in Saudi and my family wont from there however, i have been here since 1990 i went to school here didnt go to uni and i have been working paying my taxes so not every muslim lives on welfare maybe you should take a drive to liverpool and see who is quing up out side the job centers not saying that no muslims claims benfits millions of them do and im clearly not saying that all muslims are saints you will get scum in every colture, i just dont like when people generalize not saying that you are but a lot of people do. have a walk through edgeware road or even green lanes and you will see how many ethnic business are there pumping money in to the system.

the reason i left saudi i dont know i guess to get better education my two older brother have a degree and and my sister also has a degree and there all working here paying there taxes with no problems.

would i live in Saudi the simple answer is no because i have adjusted to life here i bought a house in here, i met my wife here and i was married here i have lots of friends here. i love some many things about the uk match of the day for example taking a long drive to watch liverpool play footie driving my scooby lol does that make sense?
