Iain Dale Vs Simon Darby on Play Talk UK - Elections 2009

[ASHJBKH2]

what a pathetic thing to say 'you're only picking on him because he's jewish'. Nobody was thinking that. its like when these sandle wearing lefties accuse random things of racism when no-one else even looked at it that way. they have obviously seen it and linked it with race, and they call other people racist. RIDICULOUS

@LibLabConmakemesick

what and you dont dislike Nazi's

[MsEiceEK]

Darby a voice of reason and logic against the idiot undemocratic Labour blogger.

[ofcoursehesthefarmer]

@MsEiceEK He's actually an idiot undemocratic Tory blogger.

[andord123]

Haha this is just classic. He says indigenous Aussies would be offended by denying their identity as Australians, but if you went up to a White Australian and said to them you are less Australian than the indigenous they would probably smack you in the gob. Same with Americans/Canadians... he's a fucking hypocrite.

So a black man who grows up across the street from a white man is automatically less British then the white man before he is even born... Right, I'm back to calling BNP Nazis...

[DAISYMANONE]

@andord123 oh come on be serious .i look at it like this ...the government gives out 50,000 passports to say indians ..they are not as english as my black mates that were born here ....and the true british are more britrish than them ethnics that were born here .i was born to an english family that know only england and live an english way ....and an african family that live their cultral way that came here 20 years ago and know another country way of life and live it are not as english as me

[andord123]

@DAISYMANONE 50,000 passports to Indians are multi-national citizens of original Indian Nationality, obviously they are still Indians but citizens of Britain.

I agree that a recent immigrant family having children will still be slightly immigrant cultured in their upbringing.

How about immigrants families 100 years down the line? People need to understand that Britain isn't static, part of Britain is being multi-ethnic.

[andord123]

@DAISYMANONE My Grandmother is German, I can't speak German and only see my German family at the most once a year. Am I less British than you?

What if my Grandmother was African and the same circumstances, I bet you will alter your opinion.

[DAISYMANONE]

@andord123 what im saying is a person who just got off the plan is not as british as you....and my surname comes from yorkshire and is in the doomsday book of 1068 true my dad came from durham ....80% of a british person dna goes back to the last ice age im british unlike .....a recent arrival

[jbarks10]

Keep up the great work Simon. The people of Stoke will be lucky to have you as their MP. You're a great credit to your country and local community.

[jbarks10]

Simon Darby is awesome. Every interview he gives, he completely nails the issue. Love it.

[Gazinhio]

A black person is English or British if he's born here - absolutely. However he cannot be described as a Native Briton or an Indigenous Brit in the same as a white Aussie is just as Australian as an aborigine but he could never describe himself as an aboriginal Australian. I don't think it puts anyone else down to call the white British Indigenous when they can trace ancestors by DNA to this country back over 10,000 years. We have as much right to an exclusive ethnic identity as anyone else.

[GanEdenAustralia]

Im UK born and hold both British and Australian citizenship so Im as much Australian as the aborigine fellas.

[fightingthedefamers]

Thank you!

100% you hit the nail on it head!

[MrJasonbates]

Wonderful, this Interview sums up the bnp and their populist policies. Everytime Mr. Darby was questioned on Economics he could not formulate a coherent answer. 'Erm....Protectionism....Erm Defenseism'. I think the press should focus on their economic policies more rather than their race issues.

Bloody Socialists.

[fightingthedefamers]

I agree that the press should focus on other issues other than race.

There is a LOT more to the BNP than just race ie.foreign policy, immigration, social issues, fiscal and monetary policy etc.

[edwards21416]

they will try anything to put you off never surrender i say

[edwards21416]

simon we love you just tell them that the people of this country will never give up thier identity

[andy7666]

An Englishman who moves to China will NEVER be a Chinaman; a Chinaman who sets foot in England though? English as fish and chips..

[Richyfresh]

What a slimey little weed this Ian Dale is trying to catch out Simon Derby with the Jewish comment, who the hell would ever listen let alone vote for a little prick like this

[Bacalod]

Well done Iain Dale for taking on the BNP in open debate. Hopi Sen bottled it because he thought SD might tell lies. Pathetic.

A politician telling lies! OMG.
