the BNP is based on race...enough said, P Hitchens is fair minded and not evil like the BNP

[jackmeough]

I wouldn't put it as strongly as that but you are right. Every daily has at least one commentator that says what everyone has been thinking (as Hitchens admits here) but signs off with the usual vile, evil, knuckle-dragging taunts about the only party that dares agree with them. The membership issue needed clearing up and is probably, ironically, what will push the BNP's policies into greater focus. Some ethnic minorities mourn the loss of british values as much as us brits.

[Puzzoozoo]

@LowleyUK Suit yourself. But you only have two serious choices at a general election the BNP or the liblabcon party.

[LowleyUK]

@Puzzoozoo Well a year later and I have little respect for Peter Hitchens with his Bible bashing nonsense. But I still won't ever vote for the BNP despite being profoundly fed up with immigration, overpopulation and all the other things that go with it because they don't speak for the British people, they only speak for the racist proles and uneducated right.

[Puzzoozoo]

@LowleyUK Peter Hichens is a tory, and writes for a paper who's owner is a pal of Cameron, Peter Hitchens is thus a hypocrite prick. 

The BNP is the only true political voice of the British people.

Vote BNP, you know it makes sense.

[idrismetalcore]

choose BNP if you want UK for a major debt and end up like greece, with race you can store history, but you cant have freinds or a strong economy. all countrys around you will be your enemy

[ILIKEWALLS]

@2PALACE2 "the rags" wow

[BNPnews]

Looks like there's going to be a major shock to the British political system then Hitchens; you bloody sock puppet.

[LowleyUK]

hes right wing dumb arse, do some research

[Gazinhio]

I think his vitriol towards the BNP is too simplistic and fails to take into account changes in the BNP's support over recent years. However he's right that the British people will never vote Griffin into power. Unfortunately Griffin's past, the parties historical links to the NF and his tolerance of "old-hands" means the BNP has a limit. Griffin has done well to move the BNP more to the centre but he'll have to step asside at some point for one of the new breed of BNPers with less baggage.
