The British National Party
Perhaps a little late to affect the election result, I receive a BNP leaflet through the door.It's much worse than I feared. A few comments:
Is the picture of the Union flag being burnt actually happening in Britain? I would be surprised -- the car is left-hand drive, and the buildings don't look very English.
The linking of ayslum seekers to the Madrid bombing is particularly repugnant. According to the BNP 'asylum is allowing hundreds of 'ayslum bombers' to plan their atrocities in Britain.
Their figures on 97% of ayslum applications being 'bogus' is nonsense. Furthermore the government doesn't let that 97% (if it were 97%) flood into the country.
The asylum flood, the BNP says, has 'helped make Britain a battleground for foreign conflicts'. Eh?
Of course, like some Tories, the BNP wants to bring in a 'Tony Martin' law. Regular readers will remember that this will mean you can kill an old woman who steps on your garden even if you only have a hunch she is about to steal an apple from your garden.
And so. That I haven't listed some of the other madness doesn't mean I agree with it.
Finally, check out this bizarre proposal for financing government spending from the BNP. Debt-free money?!
