In every politically based media storm, the far left and right use the tennis court of debate to volley back & forth views and opinions in the obvious goal of scoring the ace to game, set and match. As was witnessed by thousands of viewers on BBC’s, Question Time in which the controversial figure and leader of the BNP - British Nationalist Party, Nick Griffin, entered into such an arena, admittedly not to the warmest of welcomes.
But that is hardly surprising when you consider his views to be either overtly extreme, uncomfortable to consider and nonsensical to see any form of fruition in modern Britain.
I myself am not leaning toward the far right, as I believe that the conduct of the extreme right should be chosen only as a defence against an aggressor of a similar nature. But that simply isn’t the case today, the way I see it right now, the only aggressor is admittedly in truth ourselves, to that extent I believe Nick Griffin (BNP Leader) feeds on that persona of Britain to further a cause which seems to me to be at least 60 years out of date.
Why 60 years? Well, it was approx 60 years ago, Britain’s then Prime Minister Winston Churchill led Britain to victory against the Germans in the 2nd world War, also, might I add, with the help of numerous nations which included that of what is termed in the politically correct manner as “Post Visual Ethnic Origins” a poignant moment in history that I reckon even Griffin would grimace to admit. So when he stated on Question Time that Churchill would have chosen the BNP on the grounds of a single quote...
“Immigrants come to Britain only for our benefits system”
Well, let’s press on that. Quoting a former and since long dead Prime Minister of Britain is one thing, but, quoting a former and long since dead Prime Minister of a Britain from over 60 years ago is quite another. The obvious flaw of the BNP is exposed; they are an out of date, out of touch and a glowing example of a British temper tantrum which has grown out of control and yet apparently becoming increasingly popular.
When I read today that 1 in 5 Britons would consider voting for the BNP, I nearly fell about laughing, I guarantee you that 60% of those 1 in 5 are the same people who find it’s a really good laugh to write “Jedi” in the religion box on census forms. The other remaining 40% either don’t have an independent thought in their heads or are the ones pertaining to the forever dissatisfied no matter what time it is or what the weather is doing on any given day of the week.
The very people I find embracing the BNP over immigration are the ones who thus return to their very comfortable 3 bedroom, semi detached homes with too much material ownership and little enough aspiration to think that the greatest failing of, themselves, is that they have never learnt to share what they have.
When the poorer people from abroad or should I say, the less economically advantaged, say the Polish for an obvious example, arrive in richer countries, they should be embraced.
Why? Because it’s become far too easy to sneer and hate the reality of immigration and the thought that Britain, as well as places such as Ireland, might actually be joining the 21st Century and it’s about time the rest of us did the same, to accept multiculturalism and understand that we are in actuality far better off with them. If Britain and Ireland are being seen as the Economically Advantaged countries most local to mainland Europe, then we should ultimately set the example as being pioneers in basic political maturity to being the most accepting and fairer of nations.
Griffin states that the doors to immigration should be closed, that now is quite simply the most pathetic idea of a solution I have ever heard, for 2 massive reasons. Firstly, “shutting the borders” is equivalent to the idea of...
“My car makes a strange noise when changing from 3rd to 4th gear so the solution is to leave it on the side of the road, abandon it and thus walk home!”
It just doesn’t make sense! To implement a working solution to an ongoing problem you have to have in place an already existing working mechanism, whether it be efficient or otherwise, to ensure that improved practices within that sector are viable and effective to augment.
Secondly and this is the answer I would have given to the gentleman on Question Time who asked...
“Why are immigrants still coming here despite rising unemployment?”
I would have thought the answer was quite easy but hey, this is what happens when conversing with the blind faith supporters of hateful & radical extremism. To answer the question and make my second reason I would say this, that it is imperative they keep coming as they provide a vital balance to the lower end sector of whatever sector they gain employment within, as the remaining middle class simply can’t make the sacrifice financially to take on a job at NMW or else are simply too proud to do so.
It means that the sandwich in the deli gets made, the hospitals get cleaned and the convenient store stays open when you desire a beer. If we were to shut the gates as Griffin put it, the effects on these sectors would be catastrophic.
So thus I conclude that the BNP simply are a made up party of selfish, tired and out dated political opinions marred in paranoia fed hatred only succeeding by encompassing the absolute pinnacle examples of what is wrong with Britain today as a nation as well as other countries that have nationalist parties, Nationalists who turf and preach their political opinions simply by overtly scrutinising and exaggerating the truth of current failings of whatever party is in power and in opposition of far right views, Nationalists who point the ever erect finger in the squealing vitriol at anything they perceive is not accustom to their belief and feel they have the right to damn it to hell, for example the public display of affection between homosexuals to which I myself fully support as any demonstration of love/affection in this day and age is essential.
The BNP, they call themselves Nationalist, I call them plain Nasty!
