Failure to respond to the call for limiting immigration will not be playing into the hands of the BNP for they have been trying to tell the whole country about the effects of uncontrolled immigration for long enough. The difference is that when a bunch of numpties, such as reported on here do it, it is regarded as a political statement, whereas, when the BNP does it, it is classed as racism!

William,

There’s a world of difference between the bigotry and racial and religious hatred preached by the BNP, and politicians who want to have an intelligent discussion about immigration policy (though I’m not sure that Daniel does fall into the latter category!).

It is nevertheless a valid point that parties such as the BNP will always thrive where there is ignorance – we need to educate people about the truth of immigration.

We do not have uncontrolled immigration – that is a lie put about by the likes of the BNP and tabloid newspapers. You will have seen the leader of the BNP making an absolute fool of himself on the recent ‘Question Time’ appearance, where he blankly refused to even discuss his known anti-Semitism.

I can only suggest that you look for real facts about immigration in more reliable sources.

So the Tories are talking tough on immigration – There must be an election looming.
But talking is all that the tories have ever done and they can never be trusted when it comes the subject of immigration.

Tory (along with Labour) immigration policies are to blame for the mess Britain finds itself in today.

I suspect that Peter believes all that he hears on the BBC. The simple fact is this, any debate regarding immigration & the negative effects of multiculturalism has been suppressed by sneering Leftists squeeling racism & bigotry. Many urban areas are no longer recognisably British. In these areas ‘British’ society has been undermined & divided, communities live parallel lives. If Immigration is allowed to continue at current levels civil unrest & rioting will ensue.The strain on housing & resources is becoming untenable. Griffin was the only politician in the UK who had the guts to speak out.In simple terms Griffin is the most honest politician in the UK & this is why the ‘establishment’ sneer at him, lie about him & smear him.

You people complain about the lack of honest politicians… Griffin is honest & look what the media have done to him… Under these circumstances would YOU be an honest politician?
If you believe all you read you get what you deserve!

I`m a bit thick. I clean windows for a living.
So when the population reaches 70 million what will stop it going up to 71 million. Then up to 74 million . Then up to 80 million.
Please don`t talk about controls and points systems. All of these as we know are easily bypassed.
So will someone tell me what measures will be put in place to actually stop people coming here to live.
If you can`t tell me it will show that you are thicker than me – and I know I`m thick.
I `ll repeat that.
How will you stop control immigration ,also bearing in mind that Turkey is waiting to join the EU – 70 million more there. And they will most certainly be allowed to join eventually.
Not looking good is it.
There you go then – a simple question from a simpleton.
How will you stop it going above 70 million ?

Does immigration relly matter when we are all European’s and citizens of planet earth.

Surely we are past caring about different people living on a rock in a sea?

Myself I say let everyone who wants to come over here to graft and work come over.

get rid of the welfare state – I would no longer pay cash in benefits to any creed, colour, sex, religion, instead food/energy vouchers would be issued to the unemployed etc

This would reduce people coming to the UK on the principal that they see the UK as a soft touch on benefits etc and would also ensure that we attract a high quality workforce from abroad, this would also force all citizens of the UK to improve themselves workwise if they wish to remain employed.

Likewise all unemployed citizens could apply for jobs in Europe, all over the world etc.

To ensure this a success the minimum wage must also be set at 20K per year to stop UK companines employing cheap labour from abroad.

Nick Griffin doesn’t have an honest cell in his body, as he recently demonstrated on Question Time!

He was offered a clear opportunity to retract his abhorrent anti-semitism, and studiously avoided the chance to do so.

I would suggest that the BNP are at least as responsible for suppressing a proper debate on immigration because their views are so utterly immoral that they have become a party of pariahs. It’s in their interest to suppress any proper debate – after all, like the British Union of fascists, The NF, and all the failed parties of the right before them, they thrive on the ignorance of the populace.

Yes, we have illegal immigrants in this country, but we deport a large number of them too – the BNP would have us believe that we just let people in willy-nilly.

There are difficulties in deporting some illegal immigrants since they arrive without any paperwork to identify their country of origin. Would the UK accept someone from another country without any form of ID just because they happened to sound and look English? – get real! In effect many of these people become stateless. The obvious effective long-term solution is to improve their economic prospects in their country of origin – but the muddle-headed people saying ‘Send them all home’ are usually the same ones saying ‘Cut foreign aid!’, so the vicious circle continues…

It’s unfortunate that many struggling to escape poverty are fed a line by those exploiting them that the streets of the UK are somehow paved with gold.

The reality is, of course, very different, but of course this myth isn’t helped by the propaganda put out by the tabloid press and parties of the extreme right who spread these lies in order to demonise people.

This is nonsense. If immigration stopped today, Brits leaving plus the immigrant baby boom will see the majority vote placed in the hands of the non-Brit within decades. Our country will be changed via the ballot box. Inner city elections are already dictated by foreigners.

And the Tories? Well, David Cameron said this:

“Not for the first time, I found myself thinking that it is mainstream Britain which needs to integrate more with the British Asian [Muslim] way of life, not the other way around.”

What arrogance by the Conservative Party.

I have heard some real “pearlers” just lately but the best must surely be that “Griffin is the most honest politician”. I am one of the biggest critics of politicians of all parties generally because I regard them as a dishonest, self seeking, deceitful and untrustworthy cabal – whatever party they belong to. But even by their standards, to include Griffin in this gang of politicians is to be more insulting to politicians than what I can ever be. Griffin stands alone, he is not a politician, never has been and never will be. He is the leader of a gang of mostly, street layabouts, thugs, bully boys and unintelligent morons who are only worsened by the ultra left wing extremist who oppose them on our streets whenever the BNP show themselves.
The second “pearler”, just read is that from AJ Wood who say’s:-

“He wasn’t a holocaust denier as such, he was a holocaust skeptic. In fact, I was until I recently did some more research on it. I do believe Griffin has made it clear that he changed his mind because of new and compelling evidence”.

Well, “the new and compelling evidence” that almost every single person in this country accepts apart from the BNP first came to light in 1944 when the allies first had conclusive proof of mass extermination camps which they had suspected for some 12 months beforehand. Griffin first came across his “new and compelling evidence” on the night of Questiontime – whats that, 65 years later. As I was saying about intelligence.

What a strange, twisted world you must live in Philip. Personally, I regard ‘my own people’ as my fellow human beings.

The history of this country is full of migrants from all sorts of different parts of the world – we are, in effect, a huge mix of racial origins – as a DNA test on any of us would doubtless reveal.

The BNP wants to separate people arbitrarily on the basis of skin colour – that is utterly immoral. I don’t care if I have a dark-skinned councillor or MP, provided they do their job well – but I’d hate to have a racist elected to represent me…

Peter, ‘my own people’ are presently the only race on earth NOT to look after their own interests.

Call me all the names under the sun, but what I say is true.

Do you think you would get a fair hearing, democratically, if you moved to Saudi/Zimbabwe/Pakistan etc?

Yet we will certainly have a Muslim or ‘minority ethnic’ political ruler in a short space of time and they will have no qualms about putting Brits last and their own people first.

I am not a racist, but neither will I be afraid of being called one merely for standing up for fellow Brits. That’s English, Scottish, Welsh or Ulsterman to anyone who is confused.

Stuart,

At least you and I can agree on the BNP. I concur with eveything you have to say about Griffin and his mates.

Philip,

Who, precisely, are these ‘non-Brits’ you are worried about? By far the vast majority of those entitled to vote here are UK Citizens. So unless you are suggesting some sort of electoral restrictions based upon skin colour or religion, then your comment has no foundation.

If, on the other hand, you are making such a suggestion, that would, by definition, make you a racist – would it not?
