A few quotes from members of a prty that recently got a couple of MEPs

[AndyF]

A white supremacist who killed a security guard at a Holocaust memorial museum in the US has links to the British National party, which gained two MEPs in last week's European elections.

Guardian

I wonder if those would be the same sort of "links" that Saddam had with Al-Quaeda?

Or would it be the same sort of "links" that Gordon brown has with the US military that tortured and killed all those people in Abu Graide

You can make links any way you like.

Links = Media speak for "load of bo11ox"

Why don't you follow the link and make your own mind up

I did..... he went to a meeting....

Does that mean that if I beat an old lady up, then go to a Tory election meeting that "the Tory party have links with people who beat old ladies up"

Same logic and meaningless. "Links" is justmedia speak for "tarring with the same brush" in a way they ca'r be sued.

Macauly figured this out..

To punish a man because he has committed a crime, or because he is believed, though unjustly, to have committed a crime, is not persecution. To punish a man, because we infer from the nature of some doctrine which he holds, or from the conduct of other persons who hold the same doctrines with him, that he will commit a crime, is persecution, and is, in every case, foolish and wicked.

Did you not find it the tiniest bit interesting that an organisation such as the American Friends of the British National Party exists and raises funds for them? I wonder whether they are registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act?

What were your views on NORAID?

 

[graham]

In fact, the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act requires those who want to fund mainland British parties to have a British address and be registered to vote here.

So one suspects that Mr Griffin's activities here might be a tad on the naughty side.

 

[graham]

A little more research and I discover that it folded in 2001 when the Department of Justice requested that it register as a foreign agent, under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and its founder, Mark Cotterill, returned to the UK.

I think its the rules about not allowing non-whites to join that swings it.. you can't claim to not be a racist party with a rule like that.

Small things like being opposed to microchips in wheelie bins,

O/T in this thread but WTF is wrong with microchips in wheelie bins?

 

[Roger W]

Some people just don't like the idea of Big Brother snooping even further into their lives.

Some people aren't happy with the idea of having to pay twice for their waste disposal - 'cos don't expect to get a reduction in your council tax when they bang on a pay-per-kg charge for emptying your bin.

Some people even worry that those with lots of rubbish will bung some of it in their bins so that they end up paying for other people's waste disposal as well as their own.

Some people forsee an increase in fly tipping as a result.

Some people are worried that the council would be able to identify whose was the wheelie bin with a body left in it...

Bugger.....Hadn't better do that too many more times, then!

Unless wheelie bins are secure (locked) then the contents' ownership will always be impossible to prove. If this sort of topic unnerves you then perhaps a way to ensure it never becomes law is to scribble MPs home addresses on used envelopes and bung them into bin liners which are discarded in hedgerows and laybys.

O/T in this thread but WTF is wrong with microchips in wheelie bins?

Because it creates databases that aren't needed

Because it creates "bin inspectors" that aren't needed

Because it create new  "offences" and fines that aren't needed

Because neigbours will start fly tipping in each others bins causing conflict that isn't needed

Because it creates buraucracy that isn't needed. Paperwork, reports, targets, consultants, jobs for the boys.

Because it costs money to install, administer, patrol and enforce that isn't needed

That money pushes up council tax unnecessarily in a way that isnt needed

And Karen and Kev STILL need to throw away exactly the same number of nappies as they did wthout the chips in the bins....

 

[bubba]

Not just in next door's bins - too much bin regulation will just lead to an increase fly tipping anywhere and everywhere imo.

Back to the OP, interesting interview with Nick Griffin (by a black journalist) here.

Plus of course, burning rubbish in their gardens as its cheaper, so they will burn plastics etc that will cause pollution.

Then of course, we will get the "garden fire" police...

Its maddness

 

[Hughie]

Already got them, Andy.

 

[cap n chris]

Burn them, say I.

 

[Roger W]

Burn them, say I.

Burn wot?

The rubbish?

The dead bodies?

The microchips?

The wheelie bins?

The neighbours?

The Garden Fire Police?

(Back onto thread?) The BNP?

Let's hear it for the Inquisition, Cap'n!   

 

[whitelackington]

Members of parliament, theives / scumbags

 

[AndyF]

To slide back onto the topic...

This illustrates the point. Everyone here knows whats wrong with chipped bins... so why IS it happening?

And when the BNP stand up and say no its bo11ox, then a lot of people just go "yeah, too right, common sense, I'll 'av sum of that"

...thats why they are gaining votes...  :thumbsdown:
