Not really sure this is the sort of thing we want to be discussing on the board to be honest.
All manner of things come up in here but it's best to leave the high brow and emotional stuff off the board as it just causes arguments.

I did consider this post at length. Please feel free to remove it Mr P. I can see where your coming from. I was just trying to spread the word and thought a few people may be interested.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, whilst I do believe the cultures of England are being swept under the rug to the point that, even though I don't believe in Christianity, schools can't put Christmas shit up in case they offend someone of a different faith.
This is England and our culture should come first, people don't like it, tough.
He just raises these fears in the general public in order to gain credibility.
A leopard never changes it's spots and at the end of the day, he's a vile piece of shit.
Seems to me though that if there was a party truly interested in taking the pc out of England and putting our national identity back in place, he'd still end up being labelled a racist whether he was or not.

Indeed Mr Griffin is (a POS).
His wiki entry is worth a read. Not sure how a convicted criminal can become an MEP.
Saying he's not a nice man is to put it very mildly.

Good on ya Sab... it's just a shocking shame he's been elected.
I abhor the BNP and its skewed nationalist politics, there are too many people being blindly led into making bad connections and wrong conclusions.
By the way I've worked in a lot of schools in different parts of the country with different demographics and that's not the norm Pure in my experience, far from it... many cultural traditions are alive and well (take Maypole dancing for one!)There's a lot of reasons for the diluting of "traditional" British culture, not least the media (old and new) and ongoing fascination with the culture of the US (I blame gangsta rap ... joking). The hi-jacking of national symbols by the far-right hasn't helped.
Having said that I do agree that superstardb is probably not the place for in depth political discussions, it's too easy to read things into things that aren't there...
Right, gonna go and flip some laces...

Gotta throw in my sixpence on this one. I would march all day long if there was one going on in my neck of the woods.
It makes me sick to my stomach to know that Nick Griffin moved to Wales to set up in an area deep in the valleys because of the lack of ethnic minorities here.
Truth is that political correctness and cultural tolerance are 2 completely different things. It's just the people making the decicions, such as the christmas stuff in schools, don't realise that. Sadly these bad decicions generate intolerance and gives people like the bnp something to latch on to.
