BNP planning to make comeback

“@ Pantofola

Of course I mentioned the BNP/EDL in my reply...... to a question in a topic about the BNP/EDL, which mentioned immigration, and you said that, like the BNP/EDL, you are against immigration,
Now if you think I was jumping to conclusions or making sweeping generalisations, then that's up to you,
I didn't say you are a BNP/EDL supporter, but you can't deny sharing at least some of their views,

As for who to vote for, again, I say it's not up to me, I also feel that none of the main parties represent my political views, and I've felt that way since about 1998, So I no longer vote FOR a party I vote AGAINST the Tories, I'm not a Labour supporter, I'm a Tory 'opposer'.

I got off my backside in the late 90s and took advantage (like many thousands of other Brits) of the so called 'open door' policy of the EU, I went to live and work in the Irish republic for 6 years, While I was there I met and worked with other Brits,
I DO, however think there perhaps should have been a better system in place, perhaps having to have a job to go to (as I did) and perhaps in the event of losing your job your benefit/s are paid by your home country,

Incidentally, it may come as a surprise to many, especially BNP/EDL supporters, But we (the UK ) DON'T have "the best benefits system in the world" as the BNP/EDL often state,
We are about 9th in Europe, Ireland (when I was there) was far more 'generous' than the UK when it came to dole money,
I was made redundant after 3 years, and unlike the UK the Irish trades unions haven't been castrated, (they never had Thatcher) so my fellow workers and I got an excellent redundancy pay out,
When I 'signed on' my 'dole' was about 95 pounds a week (I would have got about 53 in the UK at the time) they also paid all my rent,
Sort of destroys the myth of us being the 'soft touch' and there were plenty of eastern europeans there as well, and they had passed the UK to get there,

So, what would you have us do with all the immigrants who are here and in jobs? the NHS couldn't function without them, Should we forcibly round them up and shove them onto boats to France?
I know where we could get volunteers to do the rounding up, That is, if we can get them out of the pub,”

“Hang on in there lad, never known you so busy on here. Stick with me -we're a good double act.”

“Aww, a wannabe who wannabe liked.”

“@ T/J....

Just noticed something in your attack on me mate. It's down to a misunderstanding on your part of the post I put up which 'got you going'.
The 'pedant' reference I made, if you read it carefully, though I do admit it could easily be construed in the way you took it, was referring to myself, because, not knowing what that word was 'sephologist', and so having to go to my dictionary to find out, and because I couldn't find it in there (looking under 's'), and my dictionary is top notch OED, I was puzzled and so went and googled it.
That's when I saw -with the 'clever way google is set up, that it is spelt with a silent 'p' -as in bath. Then, I was left in an awkward position, because I could either ignore your spelling of the word, or, take a chance as being seen as a 'smart ****' -as you have done (I tripped up there) by trying, in the most polite way -with a lick of 'humour' -show my dilemma.

Trying to be clever for clever's sake, is not my style my mate -and I feel just as strongly about that sort of person as you do. I hope this explains enough to you to see me in a better light. You're a good egg on the whole, and the last person I want to offend.
ps The best description of a pedant I ever heard, was a person who keeps a copy of Joyce's Ulysses by the front door, and whenever anyone knocks picks it up, before opening the door.

Hold my hand, I'm a stranger in paradise.”

“Rock on TJ -I'm only stating my opinion. Can't see what it has to do with all that stuff you're going on about. Nowt clever about what I say -it's just dunce stuff, but I can say it.

Give me a red. What do I want?”

I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION!!!!!
try looking just above where you asked the question that's usually where the answers appear,
as for 'smart Rse reply' Well, it's quite a common tactic amongst 'certain people' to insult those that 'shoot them down'

HERE the first part of my reply, (when you asked who you should vote for)

Sorry Have I called you a racist? I don't think I did,
as for who you should vote for, why is that up to me? I'm in favour of freedom, and I support democracy, unlike the BNP, whose leader is on video admitting that 'their' goal is racial supremacy, and that they are lying to the British people in order to get votes,

END QUOTE

IS that me not answering or you not looking?


Lets get something straight here before we go on. You don't need to quote BNP / EDL stats to me as I am a supporter of neither. You have done what so many 'lefties' do and pre judged me by presuming I am a supporter or sympathiser to those right wing parties.
You couldnt be more wrong.

Going back to the point in hand, no you didn't answer my question. Your reply said (and I quote) "why is it up to me?". Well yes obviously its not upto you. I was asking for your opinion.

I am completely against Britains open door policy for immgration. Skin Colour or race does not come into the equation. My question was that I wanted to know which party to vote for that would tackle this issue without voting BNP.

In all honesty we all know that it is Europe that decides who comes in and out of Britain and not this corrupt government of ours. Lib / Lab / Con are all as bad as each other. All horses eating out of the same trough.”

“Your so special camband - high on your pedestal, busy dividing us mere mortals into pedants and peasants.”

“'IF -not being a major factor in the surprise result'.”

“"Even the most ardent sephologist would be reluctant to read too much into a Stoke council by-election result." unquote.

And even the most reluctant pedant would have to add the missing initial letter 'p'. (And it's a word new to me that I had to look up too!)

But, back to the 'readings' -and for me what comes out of it is not so much the effect of the Barnes policies -or even the role her personality and past community service played in the outcome, but rather, how the local Labour Party Leadership, in their mishandling of the recent ongoing 'internal strife', -brought to a head and manifested by the Sarah Hill challenge for Mohammed Pervez's power-seat, -and the subsequent sacking that brought about the by-election and their handling of the election -choice of candidate etc -has played a significant part, it not being a major factor in the surprise result.

I think for the local Labour Party -the more apt word is not 'surprise' but 'shock' -given the smugness oozing out of the Council Chamber in recent times. As the Aussies say, ... 'one day you're a crowing cockerel, the next day you're a feather duster'.”
