Your evidence for such a thing? Those behind that organisation have undertaken plenty of research into the matter and back-up what they say with cases of past happenings. You appear to simply be saying "they're exaggerating because I say they are and I want to try to avoid disruption to my cosy and safe world by pretending dangers don't exist".
Evidence for what- That the site is full of propaganda?
Are you serious?
Whether they've done their research or not, any leaflet/flyer/site which shows only 1 side of the story and no countering arguments/evidence is propaganda. Every single political flyer or leaflet you have ever read will be choc-full of propaganda. That site is no different.
Well I don't TBH. I'm a believer that freedom of speech must be earned by non-abuse of it. I'd be quite happy for certain POVs - which are identified by most decent humans as pure evil, simple as - to be outlawed. I'm only too happy to stop people propogating pure evil - be it white supremacist extremism, terrorist ideals, or whatever.
Freedom of speech is a birthright for every human being. Parties like the BNP only exist because some people agree with their views.
If you were to outlaw the BNP, they'd still have the same level of support but do you know what would happen instead of declaring it in a democratic voting manner?..... Violent riots aimed specifically at the areas of concentrated minorities.
You wont be able to stop support for racist parties, even if you ban them. Sorry, but this is the truth.
This alone is serious damage. Though if you can't be persuaded of the fact that the BNP needs, for the safety of this country, to be a nothing party, not a minority one, then there's little more I can say.
Again, you completely over-estimate the BNP. All minority parties are nothing parties. There is more chance of the Green party making inroads since they have policies which are based on genuine views, not ignorance and get support from the regular person.
How many regular people do you think vote for the BNP?
I don't think you should ever outlaw the BNP. It would be a dangerous precedent.
You shouldn't be allowed to outlaw any party if you agree with democracy.
I have every confidence the BNP will be nothing but a stain for as long as they are in existence.
Racism while still around isn't anywhere near the level it was in previous decades- even the 90's.
There are (alarming) parallels between the BNP and the Nazi Party, both in terms of the actual parties, as well as the world around them, but this recession is really nothing like early-1930s Germany, in terms of its severity.
Well, not really. The only similarity is that both are racist parties.
The climate in Germany was a hell of a lot worse than the UK is now and allowed for such ignorance to be spouted and believed by the regular person. The country is nowhere near as desperated and gullible of that of Germany ca 1930-.
The BNP spout crap of a similar ilk to the Nazis (and any other racist party), though the main difference is the general public don't believe them. The Nazi's had a lot of regular people (who even had Jewish friends for example) who believed what they were saying was true. That isn't happening here, or is likely to ever happen here simply because the general person is more aware nowadays in comparison to 70 years ago.
The economic climate will have little bearing on the support of the BNP anyway, since their main view isn't "get rid of foreigners because they bleed our economy dry". Even they can't twist facts of recession unless they come up with quotes such as "the fact non-white people aren't spending money is why we're in the recession". Even Forrest Gump wouldn't fall for that.
Also, 1 of the the main reasons the Nazi party actually came into power was the highly charismatic leader they had. He was everybit the galvaniser Churchill, MLK and Mandela were/are and was equally attentive to the social climate at the time. He knew precisely what to say to make people tick and was as manipulative as any great leader is.
If he said "the loss of World War I was down to all of those of 6'2" and taller", the public more than likely would've believed him. The fact it's complete BS didn't matter.
The BNP, however, have NIck Griffin......... Not the most endearing man of all time.
Even at the height of the fear of terrorsim in this country and with the BNP spouting anti-Islamic ****e in ****hole pubs up and down the country- you didn't see millions of people starting riots in Islamic communities. They didn't get a massive increase in support. If anything, the general public were more sympatetic to the regular Muslims who were being stereotyped and victimised.
