I had no idea what your grand kids parentage is and it didn’t really matter to my point beyond what you’d already told us (mixed race was enough information).
My point was under current BNP membership rules members of your family are not allowed to join the BNP, I take it your grand kids parents and your grand kids are upstanding members of society, (you wouldn’t want them to take up the BNPs voluntary repatriation payment to leave the UK?) so I don’t understand why the BNP currently doesn’t want them as members?
I’m not sure how the current BNP membership rules work for mixed race British people, is it if they look white they can join or if they have non-caucasian ancestry they are not welcome? Seriously I don’t know.
I don’t think it is unfair to draw attention to it taking legal action before the BNP considered changing it’s rules on whites only membership. It’s a fact, had this been an initiative by Nick Griffin it would suggest the BNP is shedding it’s racist roots, as it is it’s been forced on the BNP.
The membership rules can’t change until current BNP members vote on the change of membership rules right? Does that mean the current BNP members could vote against a change and the current rules could remain?
The BNP under Nick Griffin is meant to be changing into a non-racist political party, as such this should have been one of the first things on the agenda IF they want to represent all hard working, law abiding British people no matter what the colour of their skins as their party name suggests. British is not synonymous with white and hasn’t been for quite sometime.
I would say a better name for the current BNP would be the WBNP, the White British National Party as that’s who they currently want to represent, what the BNP call the indigenous population (white people).
We could argue who the indigenous people are, how pure the white race is genetically (not very pure in 2010, I studied genetics at University BTW), but I think you’d have to be an idiot not to accept the majority of people in Britain today look white and so I have no problem calling them the indigenous population: Aborigines of Australia are not as genetically pure relative to 300 years ago, but they are still the indigenous population in 2010.
I’ve said before I don’t have a problem with the BNP only representing white British born people, why not, what’s wrong with that? I’m white, but I wouldn’t vote BNP because I don’t see the colour of my skin as a reason to vote for a political party. Labour are perceived as representing the working class and poor people, the Conservatives are perceived as representing business and the middle/upper classes. Although a political party should take everyone into account, they have to concentrate on a set of people as their core vote and I don’t have a problem with the BNP being a party to represent white British people.
All that being said it’s 2010 not 1910 and in this day and age we shouldn’t be looking at things from a race perspective. The BNP should have drawn a line under this years ago if they didn’t want to be perceived as a racist political party in the 21st century!
