Comment on Reasons to Vote British National Party by David.

If you don’t plan to engage in reasoned debate stop posting comments on a politics site that’s here for reasoned debate.

Typical BNP supporter stupidity.

Just admit it, you can’t prove any of my arguments against the BNP as wrong.

When you learn anything beyond the classic BNP party line of it’s all the immigrants fault and everything is a big conspiracy, talk to me then.

Oh and had you read a bit more of my site you’d know I’m self employed, not unemployed like your average BNP supporter who can’t form a valid argument or keep down a job.

Speaking of jobs. Watched Newsnight the other night and there was a business owner from Lincolnshire on talking about why he employs foreign unskilled workers when there’s more than enough British born workers theoretically available to do the work.

The issues were.

1. The foreign workers who get off their back sides and travel hundreds of miles to work here are hard working. There are lazy people in places like Poland for example, but the lazy ones aren’t exactly going to travel all the way here to work picking vegetables all day for piece rates, just like lazy British people don’t travel abroad to find a job.

2. British workers aren’t willing to do that type of hard manual work for low wages. I disagree with this point, but then it’s not may argument it’s the Lincolnshire business owners argument. The sort of work is piece work, but because we have a national minimum wage if a worker slacks of they still earn the national minimum wage and so it costs the business owner more to hire lazy British workers. Again not may argument, but if this is the perception business owners have of British workers in that type of industry….

3. The current benefits system makes it hard for British workers to take these types of job. These are seasonal jobs that require a flexible work force. Basically the employer will hire a group of people to pick fruit or vegetables for a relatively short period of time (weeks to months) and it’s difficult for British people on JSA etc… to take short time work. No idea if this is all true, but it did make some sense. If this is true the government needs to make it easier for unemployed people to take on short term work.
