The BNP’s policies us everything about
- Populism. Nick Griffin and the BNP will promise everything to everyone, and are careful always tell their audience what they want to hear. Taxes lowered, spending up, deficit down. Restore law and order, and bring back the death penalty. The only people to lose out supposedly are foreigners, bankers and welfare scroungers. It is not easy, but in the long run politicians have to be honest with the British people, and say who will lose out.
- No credibility or detail. In order to get away with this cheap populism, the BNP are carefully never to go into exact detail as to how their priorities would be implemented, or how much they would cost. They don’t expect to be in power, so why should they worry?
- Inconsistency. Even so, occasionally this populism leads them into being inconsistent. Will the BNP protect only key ‘strategic’ industries or will they make sure every company remains British? They want to strangle the city with new red tape, and yet are against strangling regulation. They’re worried about peak oil and fuel shortages, but vow never to raise the duty on petrol. They attack socialists, but would nationalise vast swathes of British industry. What exactly do the BNP believe in?
- The scapegoat strategy. To the BNP the source of whatever problems we might have are always easily villains: the pigs or banksters, foreign workers or immigrants. In the BNP’s head, all you have to do is get rid of the villain to get rid of the problem. Complex socioeconomic issues don’t seem to exits.
- Nostalgia. The BNP hates modern Britain: hates its culture, its art, its people and its business. It is easy to moan that everything is going downhill, but not all change is bad.
- Lack of patriotism. And at its heart, this represents the fact that the BNP isn’t really a patriotic party. If you’re proud of your country, you don’t want to hide away from the rest of the world. If you’re proud of your country, you don’t think we have anything to fear from opening ourselves up and competing with the best in the world. If you’re proud of your country, you believe our best is still to come, not retreat into the past.
Voting for a political party is not just an expression of your anger or identity. It is about endorsing a specific programme for the country, an agenda of change.
The BNP is trying to portray itself as a modernised serious party, but its political programme shows otherwise. This is not a question of ideology, or even their racial separatism. There is about a basic bar of credibility that any political party has to meet to deserve the voters trust, and the BNP falls far below it.

He he, I’m going to enjoy deconstructing this!
Populism.
Isn’t this what all mainstream politicians do, lie to get into power?
Promise anything to anybody, Tony Blair is famous for this, tailor made speeches to different audiences.
Remember Mrs Thatcher’s Francis of Assisi speech?
Remember Tony Blair “Things can only get better”?
Remember the spiteful childish “Demon eyes” poster that turned out to be the most accurate piece of political foretelling I have ever seen?
Politicians aren’t honest, work to a hidden agenda, foreigners, bankers and welfare scroungers do very well & will continue to do so.
For example India, lots of foreign aid despite sending rockets into space etc.
Greece, are we to bail out the Euro a foreign currency?

The scapegoat strategy.
Yes well us white people are responsible for the ills of the world, we should try harder, give more of our jobs to non whites, sort out the worlds problems by either invading them or throwing borrowed money at them.
Sorry that isn’t working, let’s try something different for a change.

All of these policy focuses have made my head spin; only armageddon has not been used in the same sentence as BNP.
Normal, patriotic Britons see through NB’s rubbish i am sure…. that is if anyone reads this crap. Still, if the Torys utilise their resources trying to slander the BNP in this way, it probably means that they are not out delivering political leaflets in working class areas.
A vote for the BNP will keep the pressure on the next government, to do something about the immigration debacle.

You know , if the Tories – or Labour – had not betrayed their core constuency of voters , the BNP may not exist and there would be no “need” to dedicate a website to attacking them.
Take a look at the British People’s Party – a very nasty bunch – but NB does not mention THEM.
Why not ? Because – unlike the BNP – they are far too small to be a threat to the Conservative vote.

I’ve never been clear why the BNP use images of Churchill and Polish Spitfires. Are they advocating that we all go backwards to the 1940`s?
It also amuses me when they talk about Enoch Powell. He was one of our greatest politicians ever and he would have been horrified at the thought of Nick Griffin winning votes on the back of his rivers of blood speech.
Enoch was a very articulate and clever politician, something that Nick Griffin will never be, he is just a cheap imitation.

reguired,
So far you have accused me of being a “Dave call me Abdul, oooh my bikes been nicked, hug-a-hussky keep the troops fighting, we need that oil pipeline Cameron” lover.
I have been advised by another BNP member that “women should be seen and not heard”
So I suggest that you refrain from throwing your toys out of the pram and accept that other people may hold different opinions to your own. I don`t attack the BNP, I just give my opinion.
And by the way, the sexist comment doesn’t promote your party in the best of light does it?
Stop attacking other parties and concentrate on promoting your own. My opinion on Nick Griffin will never change.

I understand the speech perfectly thanks! What I object to, is the fact that Nick Griffin is portraying himself as some kind of modern day Enoch Powell, when nothing could be further from the truth.
What do you mean by “if only we could”? do you mean to go back in time to the 1940`s? is that what the BNP members really want? Was life so much better then??

Must admit nobody else seems to be taking Enoch seriously, even on a news programme a T-shirt wearer got described as wearing an image of Oswald Moseley when it was clearly Enoch Powell.
Never to late to go back to 1948?
Well if peak oil theory proves to be correct, maybe we’ll be shovelling our own coal again?
There maybe oil under the Falklands, VoR is probably checking that out right now.
I think I’ll settle for 1984 but not in the Orwellian sense.

Oh, don’t get me going on Shirley Williams! Isn’t funny how the more privilege the get the more they want to deny it to others. Classic pulling up the ladder tactics. S.W. went to St Paul’s in London and then on to Oxford yet she thought (and amazingly still thinks) that bog standard comps should be inflicted on the rest of us. She ought to be sent to teach (or try to) in one.

Lauren, Do you really think that Enoch Powell would have any time for the present Conservative Party? I am not a member of the BNP but I was a member of the Conservative and Unionist Party. Brigadier Powell left the Tory party as have many other right-thinking people. He had been marginalised and ostracised by people in the party similar to yourself.
I mention his rank as he was a Brigadier in the Army of the Raj. He spoke some Indian dialects and was popular with his Indian troops. He was also popular with Indian voters in his constituency as so many of them came to Britain to become British (unlike those who insist that Britons should change to suit them) .
Conservatives sympathetic to Enoch’s beliefs are not welcome in today’s Conservative Party. If they were then perhaps there would be less disunity in our country today. Have you ever wondered why the Tory vote in inner-cities has dropped?
I am surprised at you using the term, “rivers of blood speech”. By using this term you are pandering to Mr Powell’s enemies. He never ever used that term. He did mention the River Tiber. His enemies, including those of the Conservative Party (like Ted Heath) made capital of this and in the long term moved the party to the left, marginalising much of the inner-city where the realities of immigration were being felt.
As for the images of Churchill (who, with his beliefs and attitudes would be regarded as a racist and unacceptable to the two parties of which he had been a member), he belongs to the British people whom he served.
The Spitfire, a British-designed, British-built aircraft is a lasting symbol of the days when Britain defended, not only these islands (including Ireland) but protected an unprepared United States who had Britain capitulated would not have had access to the the necessary technology to win the war.
Yes, the aircraft depicted was that of a Polish squadron, flown by courageous Poles who otherwise would not have had the opportunity. I have an uncle, a member of the Polish forces who married my aunt. Living in Bedfordshire he took United Kingdom citizenship and accepted our monarchy, laws and system of government as his. He did not expect Britons to change to suit him. If more immigrants thought that way then perhaps we would have fewer problems.
Nick Griffin is certainly not up to Enoch’s standard, however he does carry his standard. No doubt they would have differences but their differences would be fewer than you may imagine.
I’d do not know you’re age, nor would I be so impolite as to ask but, from your comments, I suspect you are not of an age to personally remember the United Kingdom as it was when Enoch cried, “Enough!”
Now, how would you deal with immigration (including fake asylum-seekers and illegals)?

At the risk of putting words in Lauren’s mouth, she’s backing UKIP.
Now UKIP seem to me to have moved more to a BNP type stance with Lord Pearson as the boss.
He has made statements on concerns about immigration & Islamification, which are stronger than the Conservative’s stance on these subjects.
That might prove to be a vote winner.

what do you and your Jewish mates have to say about stealing the identity of British people, in order to perpertrate murder of Palestinian officials.
I think anything the BNP has to say, pales into insignificance, when compared to the actions of the immoral state of Israel.
