The BNP’s would end all further immigration, expel all illegal immigrants, and encourage Britons of other ethnicities to migrate through a generous system of repatriation grants partially paid for by abolishing all foreign aid (source).
While the BNP’s policies would be disastrous for the whole of Britain, the worst victims of all would be Britain’s minorities.
The BNP claims that Britain’s new arrivals are the cause of all Britain’s problems, both economic and cultural.
Here’s why the BNP are wrong:
- Immigration is one of the best ways we know to end poverty. Immigration the most direct way we know to raise the incomes of the world’s poor, and allow the ambitious and hard working in our world to make a better life for themselves. A recent study estimated that immigrants to the US ended up $20,000 better off [1]. Moreover, migrations helps home countries too. Remittances from migrants to their native countries total at least $200 billion, more than double the level of official government aid. According to the World Bank it can in some cases reduce the poverty rate by as much as a third.
- Britain’s compassion doesn’t stop at the edge of its borders. While the BNP believes that anyone not born in Britain is worthless, the British people are one of the most generous on Earth. A country that in its millions supports Children in Need and Comic Relief is not going to want to abandon the poor in our world or shut down ourborders. While Britain has its own problems, we remain a rich country with an average income of £20,000, while a billion of the world’s peoples remain on less than a dollar a day.
- Most of the BNP’s economic claims about immigration are myths. Empirical evidence shows that immigrants don’t take jobs, they don’t cut wages and they’re not a drain on our benefit system. In reality immigrants can be a complement to British workers, not a substitute, doing the jobs that there simply aren’t enough British people who can or want to do. Most new residents are not entitled to any benefits, and those that do travel here tend to be young, hard working, without dependents and past the age of education.
- The BNP would make life for minorities a living hell. For those ethnic minorities who remained in Britain, there’d be the constant knowledge of who their government was and the uncertainty when they’d be kicked out. Their children would be sent to schools where their friends were brainwashed into believing racial tolerance was wrong. They’d be pushed to the back of queue for public services, and branded as second class citizens.
Britain is an open, welcoming country that has always lead the world in the fight against bigotry and racism. The BNP’s apartheid regime would be a betrayal of everything we stand for.

“How BNP Britain would terrorise our minorities” as opposed to some of them terrifying us?
Ridiculous!
It’s nice that you found a foto of a immigrant/ethnic minority person with a Union flag as opposed to the ones I see, that display their allegiances to anywhere but here.

“Immigration is one of the best ways we know to end poverty.”
Really?
Have you ever watched that gumballs video on “YouTube” that explains why it doesn’t work in the US?
They are having to build a school a day to cope!
No the reality is that you cream off the best & the most mobile from other countries as well as opening the door to those with a different agenda on their minds.
Also as you point out, look at the money pouring out of the country!
We are in massive debt & we are exporting billions in cash.
So yes it helps other countries economies but it will literally be at our expense.
The Daily Express, which isn’t a BNP publication, had the headline the other day that 1.3 million jobs had gone to immigrants, while we have 8 million economically inactive.

EU Immigration is fine if it is tightly regulated. What is not fine however, is the slowly creeping dominance of Islam and all of its anti-British baggage within our western culture.
I and millions of others beleive that there will never be peace in our country while it is allowed to colonise and flourish.
Labour have allowed and even encouraged this to happen and now the landscape in our towns and cities has changed forever.
The BNP have taken this problem on board and thrived as a result.
Which of the main parties are strong enough to say no to Islam? The answer is – none of them and so I am voting UKIP.

“The BNP would …… expel all illegal immigrants..”
DISGRACEFUL!
We would not want a Goverment enforcing the law,would we now?
==================================================
“While the BNP believes that anyone not born in Britain is worthless”
LIBEL ! Demonstrably untrue.
==================================================
“doing the jobs that there simply aren’t enough British people who can or want to do.”
If it is a SKILLED position , that may be correct.
If it’s an unskilled position , I believe there are plenty of unemployed people who would accept such a job .
If life is too cosy on the dole , the simple and morally correct solution is to cut social security benefits.
===================================================
“Most new residents are not entitled to any benefits”
TRUE !
But how would a Conservative government deal with the nonsense of paying compensation to asylum seekers , as per the report on the BNPs website today ? (Although it is “old news” )
====================================================
“While Britain has its own problems, we remain a rich country”
TRUE !
But deeply in debt.
If individuals wish to donate to overseas charities , that’s fine.
But the Government ? No ! What right do they have to throw away borrowed cash ?
What is the Conservative Party’s position on the 800 million pound gift by Great Britain to India , a country with nuclear weapons and a space program ?

Has anyone else noticed the subtle change of comment rating? “Well loved” has been changed to, “Hot debate. What do you think?”.
The rating SHOWS what we think and it is the ant-NB comments that tend to be “Well loved”!

Keep up the good work NB!
Don’t let the BNP supporters put you off. Let them show what lovely people they are. For the last few months I have given up looking at football results for pleasure – I wait for BNP council by-election results instead. A lovely clean sweep this week; the BNP came last in every election they contested.
Since sneaking their charismatic tribal chieftan into the Euro Parliament last year I’ve been really impressed at their performance. Can one of the BNP supporters who post on here remind us how many council seats you have won since last May? Have you got more councillors now or fewer?
Face the facts BNP supporters – you are going backwards faster than one of Mussolini’s tanks!

“Immigration is one of the best ways we know to end poverty”
No it isn’t, it might work on a personal level for a few people but generally it is proved that you end sucking the best people out of the country & that country continues to spiral down, a lot of our best people have left & that affects us negatively.
Then the mass immigration cause tremendous pressures on the host countries not least on infrastructure.
A lot of the immigrants aren’t hard working or the best either, one set of figures for Germany showed the immigrant working population stuck at 2 million while the immigrants went over 4 million.
The other point is where do you draw the line with a policy like that?
There are at least 2 billion who claim to be hard working & want their poverty ended by working elsewhere for more money.
They can’t all come here, the golden goose can only lay so many eggs.

Someone (a very misguided anarchist) said to me once that they didn’t care if a foreign worker took their job. Would they care though when (in WTF’s spiral) it became the last bit of bread from their child’s plate? I think that at that point their overweaning liberalism might give way to a healthy rush of darwinian self-preservation.

Yes I think anarchism works fine when you don’t own anything or have any responsibilities or aspire to anything but otherwise it is a bit of a non starter for the rest of us.
