First post on this site, the Local and European Election Results have inspired (scared) me into starting a new WordPress blog, it is so scary that the BNP have gained 2 MEP’s in the European Parliament yesterday, racism is apparently live and well in the UK!
Vote Percentages from BBC News for the 2009 European Election Results, UK results excluding Northern Ireland.

Almost 1,000,000 British people voted for the BNP, what are they thinking, do they really want racists in power?
I’m dismayed :(

I’ve spent time with at all the three main political party meetings and I can fairly say the only party activists I met whose main concern was for their country and culture was at the three different areas BNP meetings I attended.
No skin headed yobbish chavs as the criminalizing media would have you believe but truly concerned mature people.
I have yet to find anyone who disagrees with their manifesto… read it see if you do.
BNP Party Activists
Well I’ve read the BNP manifesto and I disagree with quite a lot of it.
I don’t want us to leave the EU, financially speaking we are much better off in than out.
British Jobs for British workers is protectionism and that can damage British exports. If we try to protect jobs other countries will do similar to us in return.
Daily Christian assembly in schools! Are we forgetting not all people are religious let alone Christian! Religious worship should not be part of school life, if a parent wants their child to follow a particular religion it should be up to the parent to provide suitable venues to worship etc… not be forced upon children in school. Despite being an atheist in my early teens I remember being forced to sit through Christian assemblies in school because you only got out of those assemblies if you followed another religion (atheism isn’t a religion).
So there you go I have problems with the BNP manifesto and that’s based on their watered down, more politically correct manifestos :)
