ARGH.
I was having a relaxing evening, I prepared Stewart and I a lovely vegetable stir fry with noodles for our dinner, I irritatingly channel flicked through various cable television shite whilst he recorded a tune on Garageband in the bedroom. We then came together to eat chocolate, watch the West Wing on DVD and retire to bed. Now, I am all wound up because I have access to the internet and am not a right wing bampot.
For my non British friends the BNP are a very right wing group in our political system.
A post on theladiesloos made me aware of several groups on the omnipresent FACEBOOK which are anti Muslim in tone (if you don’t like England, fuck off home! And “Why do I have less rights than immigrants?” being the selected ‘highlights’. Over 60,000 members in one group. Curious, I decided to check them out - fully expecting most posts to be from ill educated and/or arses - and was horrified to see that the British National Party is using these groups to entice particularly young people to their fold via their youth edition. Lost, poorly informed children and hate politics that relies on fear, they go hand in hand eh?
What really got my goat was that they have basterdised a photograph of my beloved Herman Munster, a hero of my childhood, he himself has received much abuse due to looking different from everyone and is an immigrant to America, being from British, German and Romanian origins. Of which the BNP speculated makes him more likely to insult us Brits due to his mixed European background - if indeed their insight into insults given to white Brits are anything to go by…
(those giving the insults are) More likely from some sink estate/eastern european background. Of course, it could always be from the left wing middle classes that seem to have infiltrated local govenrment these days, Red Ken Livingston et al.
Just more proof of how we all live in the rich tapestry of multi-cultural 21st
century Britain
So now us lefties are getting it too along with Mr Munster? Great! Why do people find it to easy to hate someone on what they look like or where they are from? I know it comes down to fear, but why? I've never understood it. It also annoys me when people claim racism has went away - my friend Angela and I go for phone interviews at the same bank - I get told "great! let's start the interview!" She gets told "Sorry, we are not looking just now" who sounds like they were not born in the UK? I'll let you guess that one...
Then I find out they support a record label that only relases patriotic (read racist) music, they have named it… wait for it… Great White Records!. Could you make this up?
The enemies of British Nationalism continue to parrot the claim that the BNP is a “racist party.” URGH, I hate it when political parties refer to themselves as an idea, saying you are not the enemy of our party - you are the enemy of your countries pride itself! I like my country, sure it's not brilliant and if anyone wants to come here to flee persecution or to better themselves through education and work not available in their homelands I'm pretty much for it. I am a quarter Italian of course, my relatives got on the boat from South Italy to head to America for a better life - as they were daft they got off in Scotland by mistake and now here I am.
OK enough incoherent ranting for one night, I should sleep now as I’m meeting the Mother for soup tomorrow. Band is going well, hooray. This is now farce and I am tired. Goodnight.
Handy Hint!
These are just my views, the BNP are allowed free speech as am I and as are you.
