I appreciate the full answer on the BNP and positive discrimination.
I was under the impression the BNP had an issue with positive discrimination, especially when it’s against white people.
An example of the BNP finding positive discrimination against white people can be found at:http://nickgriffin.eu/2009/06/26/have-you-faced-discrimination-your-mep-nick-griffin-wants-to-know/comment-page-1/ (which is an official BNP site right?).
Full article: Have you faced discrimination? Your MEP, Nick Griffin, wants to know. | Nick Griffin MEP
NICK has been contacted by a constituent after a firefighter recruitment evening in Oldham.
Posters on the bulletin boards in the foyer of the JJB sports gym at Elk Mill in Royton, Oldham asked ‘Do you want to become a firefighter?’
It invited those who were interested to come to an open evening.
One applicant was a 24 year-old former prison service employee who was very hopeful that his experience would stand him in good stead to join the fire service which is all he has ever wanted to do since he was a young boy.
But the gentleman concerned was white and he along with around 20 other white males and one white female were told that the fire service were only targeting people from the ethnic minorities and the gay community, and they were sent away and dismissed from the recruitment process.
Constituency Office manager Tina Wingfield said that she wants to build up a case file of similar examples of discrimination.
“This is a worrying case of positive discrimination gone mad.
“Here we have an ideal applicant for the job of firefighter but he was barred from even applying because he is a white hetrosexual.
“This is a shocking state of affairs and that needs to be addressed.”
I don’t know how accurate the information within the article is, if it’s true that’s why I disagree with positive discrimination, yes we need to not discriminate against homosexuals and ethnic minorities, but not at the expense of other groups.
Hire the best person for the job, period.
What I’ve read from the BNP reads as they have an issue with positive discrimination against white people (white men in particular, the silent majority in work), but have no problem promoting positive discrimination for white people.
Since you’ve said the BNP are racist and will discriminate against the “Islamic religion and its culture for the good of Gt Britain” I would like to know how far the discrimination would go if the BNP ever controlled government?
If the BNP will openly discriminate against one group (Muslims), what about other groups?
Homosexuals, disabled, women… it’s that slippery slope problem, where does it stop.
We should be aiming for NO discrimination against any group in society.
