I couldn't agree with you more, except the last part.
By saying that the KKK recruits from the right does not imply that I think they are the only racists in the world.
Or that Conservatives are by nature bigots. Please do not put words into my mouth.
I am aware that there are failings in the entire spectrum of political affiliations.
I never said there weren’t!

You said Racists were OVERWHELMINGLY from the right. Go back and tell me how I am supposed to just glide on by that. I don't calling every liberal a commie or a racist, but there are people on the left that are communist and/or racists.

My point is racism is apolitical, period.

Heck...I would love to have some immigrants from the UK at this point. Much of Canadian culture was helped by the steady immigration from the "old" country, but now our Goverment has a form of racism in that if you are from a modern democracy, the bar is MUCH higher to emigrate to Canada than it would be from India, Pakistan, or South East Asia. I have no problem with people coming to Canada from these nations BUT why discriminate against Western Europe?

Give the poor sod a chance to reply!

Well see, we europeans would come to Canada and take all the high paid jobs and then the south east asians would come and take the low paid jobs leaving the Canadians with nothing :rotflmao:

Completly different Eki and you know it. I'm talking about the population that come to the UK just cos its the "promised land" and yet don't want to learn the language/ cultural side (amongst other things) of being in a different country

The odd wordage difference of people in UK and USA is not the same at all and in fact turns into more of a talking point as people to get to find out about each other

Its amazing at just how quick some of you come out with the "R" word at the slightest opportunity :laugh:

And I'm sure that poor Polish girl now knows what Ayrshire bacon is (I still don't know how it's different from ordinary bacon).

No way ever (clear enough for you)?

Its so nice to see that you can be labeled with the "r" word for the slightest thing nowadays.. you know what, you all that are doing the finger pointing could be described as such too considering how freely you throw that term around when you have no clue who i am, what i'm about or anything at all.. :laugh:

You are absolutely right about that. Does the BNP have anything against Australians, New Zealanders or South Africans coming to the UK? Has anyone ever smashed the windows of a Walkabout, like they have Polish shops?

Oh, and again I have to say what I always say — that the notion that 'you can't say anything any more' is utter bunkum of the first order. You can generally say what you like, but don't be surprised if changing attitudes, a perfectly natural phenomenon, mean that more people won't disagree vehemently with what you say than once might have been the case.

Especially to a country who's history, culture, cuisine and more are all based on immigrants and immigration. I'm just curious to hear what fred has to say about it all :)

Its nice to see how your twisting round my original post to suit your agenda Drew. Feel free to carry on twisting if thats what suits you


Oh and MIO, the silence was not deafening or whatever you put as i was actually out at a business meeting in Atlanta (where i still am too) if its any business of yours

To be fair the BNP have always been clear about this, that they are not at all opposed to migration to/from particular 'Anglo-Saxon' countries. I would have thought the countries you mentioned would be on that list. Its migration from non-approved countries, ie non-white ones, that they oppose.

They've also made it clear that they want to cut trade links to non-white countries which I found amusing, I'd like to see how they do without Japanese and South Korean investment and without loans from or selling bonds to wealthy Arabs....
