Open letter to those who think that the word "Paki" is illegal.
Hey, wim. Quiz question for you. The founder of which European political party is in this photo?
If you have a coherent point please make it.
I was defending the freedom and ideals of democracy, which seems opposite to the notion you have in your head, so either read what I wrote or come up with a valid point worth responding to like BlasterBates.
But there is a difference between a party run by someone who comes out with rather repulsive statements, and democratic parties with whom you disagree.
There is, but repulsiveness is subjective. I find many things repulsive that others simply would not, let's say for a second, women drinking out of pint glasses. Really a massive turn-off and quite disgusting to me, but others couldn't care less.
is not comparable with talking about raising taxation.
You may find the comments that come out of NickGriff's mouth repulsive, I for instance find the hypocrisy and vile filth coming out of the mouths of people like JohnPress's mouth repulsive, that is subjective to each individual. It isn't simple policy debates that repulsed me about JP, but his vulgar, brash, abusive and out of control drunken hobo manner that has no place coming from an elected servant of the people and is illegal as well.
I think deliberately inciting people to racial hatred, denying the holocaust or idolising Hitler ( proof is a criminal conviction, so it isn't slander)
As I said look at other MP's. You arent doing which is extremely foolhardy. Many conservative and labour MP's are known nasty criminals.
There are many from other parties who are convicted kiddy fiddlers/sex criminals or just enjoy dubious abusive sex with eastern lady boys. A lot of MP's are criminals, you would find it surprising.
However many don't get convicted while in office as they are usually expelled before being convicted to avoid embarrassing parties and even if they are convicted, they often don't face imprisonment. Also if they are jailed for over a year, they lose their seat automatically before serving their sentence. Here is a list of MP's from 1979-2008 that were imprisoned, serving a sentence, while in office, which is a rare occurrence:
Terry Fields Liverpool, Broadgreen Labour 15/07/1991 195 c1 60 Days
Peter Robinson Belfast East Democratic Unionist 19/10/1988 138 c871 7 days
William Ross Londonderry East Ulster Unionist 25/02/1988 128 c423 7 days

The Peter Robinson wasn't a typo, he was convicted that many times! The only one relevant to England was Terry Fields who was imprisoned in July 1991 for refusing to pay poll tax and only lost his seat in December 1991 after Neil Kinnock wanted to cleanse the Labour party of militants like Fields and guess what, Fields was a Labour MP.
You can't just say they're just another small party, they're not.
They are, please check your facts.
My original comment was 100% correct. If everyone in the country, 100% of the votes went to the BNP in every constituency (which is a feat bordering on impossibility for any party, but using this a a theoretical statement), the BNP would still not be able to control the UK parliament or even form a useful coalition. They have far too few people standing. They don't even have a single seat in parliament so I would say they aren't just a small party, they are a completely redundant one that serves no purpose in the UK as they don't even have a single seat!
As there ever been a more clear example of someone clutching at straws ^
As I said to old greg, if you have a point, make it, because your post comes across as if it were written by a brain damaged child.
Nothing I posted was "clutching at straws", feel free to use google or if you lack the intelligence, I can always provide you with links to back up the facts and figures I posted.
Facts are not clutching at straws, they are facts, end of.

Next idiotic statement?
You are not making a point you are ranting and making yourself look like a fool, clearly judging by the insults you are getting a little emotional, so I'll be easy on you. You list some Ulster Unionists who went to prison at the height of the Anglo Irish troubles ergo the BNP are no better and no worse than those. Apparently some MPs are pedophiles, others like Ladyboys, (of which you provide no evidence), do you like ladyboys? What the feck is your point? It seems like gibberish.
