Well...?

Did he say it, or is it just the usual media word twisting?

He doesn't say "none white" at 4:30 when he is talking about the long term resettlement plan, that part comes just before. If you listen from 3:30 she picks him up on the statistics he uses and shows he means none-white British, so essentially people of foreign lineage.

The resettlement plan is a further development from this conversation about how he has chosen non-white British in his statistics. He does essentially say it will be offered to none white Britons.

...

Also, remember, racism isn't just about skin colour, it's about nationality too. When he says non-white British, he means eastern Europeans and the like too.

...

And about the doctors part at the end. He says that for his own agenda. He's just using the "they are needed in their own country more" argument as a way of essentially saying "I'm not allowing foreign doctors in". He has been pretty clear on his plans not letting foreign doctors work for the NHS in the past, if a doctor came from somewhere like Israel where they are plentiful, he would still turn them away.


So under your definition(s) Brown saying he wants "British Jobs for British people" was inciting racial hatred? There is nothing wrong with being nationalistic and being proud of your nation. It's a shame that my generation has being brought up by seeing patriotism as been a negative trait...

Wait a minute for me to laugh at that straw man argument... Haha.

Don't accuse me of holding a position that I don't actually hold.

There's nothing wrong with supporting your own people and even favouring them. Brown didn't say that foreign workers would not be allowed, or anything like that. It's perfectly fine to support your own population and still allow foreign workers to gun for any job they want.

The BNP used the analogy of the Japanese Physicist, now that I don't agree with. That's just unfair because the immigrant is outright being told when and where they can work. That's not the same as what Brown proposed at all, he would allow immigrants to do any job they could get. Nick griffin would bring in an immigrant and tell them what job to do and not let them have the opportunity to do anything else.

And I bet Nick Griffin would seldom import labour, even if the country was falling apart at the seem because we've ran out of scientists and skilled labourers.

From my interpretation, British jobs for British worker meant that if, two people of the same ability went for a job the British person would get priority. If it was the case that he was putting the case forward that British people could go for any job in Britain and they would ahve an equal oppotunity of getting it as a foreign national then why even mention anything?

To your last point, if there wasn't such a underfunding of the school system there wouldn't be a need to get foreign scienstist and people in the first place. For way to long we have been having a worse education success rate than many european countries.
