Comment on Reasons to Vote British National Party by David.

As you go to BNP meetings maybe you’ve heard more about the BNP’s National Service policy?

All I have is from their current BNP Defence policy:

Restore national service for our young with the option of civil or military service.

And the BNP General Election 2005 manifesto:

On satisfactory completion of their period of National Service, all suitably qualified youngsters will become eligible to receive a university education (just as the less academic will be entitled to proper paid apprenticeships or training and aid in running their own businesses) without fees or debts.

The compulsory National Service system discussed elsewhere in this Manifesto would begin at the age of 18 with a period of basic training in the army. This would include full training with the citizens’ assault rifle. Conscientious objectors who refuse to undertake military service would be allocated other constructive work for the community, but would not receive the citizen’s right to be armed, or the right to vote.

Individuals would be free to refuse to undertake any form of National Service, but such a refusal to serve the community for the common good would result in their not being entitled to free places at university, on training courses or selfemployment schemes. Whereas some other politicians mouth platitudes about there being “no rights without responsibilities”, we mean it.

Urgent research work will be carried out into the potential benefits of a massive remineralisation scheme, carried out with National Service labour.

A graduated land-tax related to the size of holdings and the quality of land involved, incentives to new young farmers, and the extensive use of National Service labour will all be employed to transform the south and east of England in particular

It sounds like everyone is going to have to do National Service or be penalised by a loss of services and those that refuse to do the military form will loose the right to vote! This is an awful policy, more than enough reason not to vote BNP, but I’d still like more information.

As an ex police officer how do you feel about the idea of anyone who has done the military form of National Service has the right to own a rifle?

Won’t this mean our police will have to all carry fire arms like the US have as unlike now when they turn up to a domestic dispute there’s going to be a damn good chance there’s a weapon in the home?
