We Need Immigration to Fill Skilled Jobs that Currently can’t be Filled by British Workers

Comment on BNP on Question Time by David.

RE: “What other perspective on ethnic cleansing do you want?”

Well what perspective do I have now regarding the BNP?

According to their websites political policies they will stop immigration, remove all illegal immigrants and offer financial rewards to legal immigrants to return to their homelands.

I completely disagree with that policy, for starters we need immigration to fill skilled jobs that currently can’t be filled by British workers (saw a report the other day that there’s is a big shortages of engineers in the UK). However, that BNP policy doesn’t sound too bad, (certainly not outright racist) but is it really what they think/plan to do if they gained significant power?

Think about it from the perspective of a poorly educated 18+ year old living in an inner city with no job, it’s easy to believe his/her problems could be solved by removing all the foreigners from the UK. Reality is we’d be screwed short/medium term if immigration was stopped and legal immigrants moved out of the UK in mass!

I’ve only recently started seriously researching the BNP (for www.general-election-2010.co.uk/) since no matter how disillusioned with politics I might get, I’d never vote for a party like the BNP (what little I’d seen on the mainstream media suggests they are racist, but it wasn’t 100% clear). My political choices have always been between the three main parties and probably always will be, so didn’t need to know much about the BNP (BNP bad, don’t vote for them :)).

I’ve recently read some quite disturbing things about the BNP, Nick Griffin for example was convicted of inciting racial hatred, I’ve never heard that on the news and I tend to have the BBC or SKY newson a few hours a day (don’t know what he did either to be preosecuted). The founder of the BNP (still part of the BNP I believe) could be considered a terrorist, tried to blow up the offices of another political party, (something like that) again I’d not heard this in the media. Also found a picture of the founder wearing a Nazi uniform in front of a swastik symbol!

Also important that BNP councilors have made very poor councilors, tending not to turn up to council meetings.

Rather than protesting that the BNP shouldn’t be heard does it not make more sense to point out why the British people shouldn’t vote BNP?

After all in June 2009 943,598 British people voted for the BNP, 6.2% of voters! Clearly the message that the BNP are not to be voted for is not getting through to the people on the street : I can not believe that almost 1,000,000 British people believe what Nick Griffin believes, that the holocaust didn’t happen (again didn’t get this info from mainstream media).

BTW you didn’t answer the question :)
