nah im not ashamed. perhaps i reacted a bit too quickly to reading it, but it just seems like an attack on immigrants to me.

but from what I know of the BNP, they are anti-immigration and white supremacists and THAT is racist, is it not? believing your race to be superior to others, even those born in your own country?

and well said, its okay to post your opinion. and it is my opinion that your post, like the BNP itself, is ignorant, ugly and shouldn't be tolerated.

anyway, i dont want the hostility to leave this thread. politics is a messy subject.

There is nothing, NOTHING racist about being anti-immigration.

It doesn't matter if you are white, asian, middle-eastern or black.  If you dislike a certain race that is racism.  If you think your country is fine with it's current demographic and has economic need for immigrants, that is not racism.

true, its called Xenophobia!

sorry, had to

problem is, what Slimebeast was saying wasnt simply anti-immigration, but anti-anyone foreign being allowed into any nation (BNP policy support) also, supporting the BNP stance is highly offensive to me, as they would try and kick me and my friends out for not bieng "white christian anglo saxon decent"

so, to be honest, trashleg and me have EVERY right to be very angry at what he said, please do not defend people with such hateful views

also, the UK does have economic need for immigration, they arent many skilled workers in the UK, migrants can do those jobs that brits dont want to do and probably do it better than some of us too, not to mention any freeze on immigration here will significantly impact our EU relations, which in turn will hit trade and thus our economy.
