To me, Griffin's party is useful, it needs to be there, for what it is, as a worry to the other parties. If BNP is gaining votes, politicians for their own survival need to ask why, and is it them that have caused the BNP to gain power. What the BNP represents to me, is abhorrent, it goes against all my own principles of tolerance and acceptance of others, but they have got some valid questions to campaign over, questions that the government seems to be failing miserably at addressing. Questions and issues that are very much in the common public eye and experience, housing and employment. I think those who have ascended to their ivory towers look back on their struggles, (if they in truth had them), with rose tinted sunglasses, they have lost touch with the reality of life in Britain, and depend on gathered information from advisors to create their viewpoint, not forgetting the communicated word from person to person, can be likened to Chinese Whispers, everyone in the chain of communication adds or takes a bit to suit their perspective and political agenda.
Immigration, I am ok with it, for the simple fact that I am ok with emigration, if people here see no problems with selling up and moving abroad, or working abroad to gain a better income, then there is nothing wrong with foreigners doing the same, to think otherwise, is hypocrisy, or does the imperial mentality still preside, it's ok for us, but not others.
Anybody that wants to come here, why not, I am sure if I lived in their country and sought a better future, I would be doing the same, putting oneself into another's situation brings light to a problem. But the problems we have are that of housing and employment. It stands to reason, the more people that come here need to be permanently housed, but that permanence should not come before existing homeless people, for that, is only fair. Employment, well, industry seeks the most profit for the smallest outlay, Britons have a standard of living, we have been coached in it by past industry, we have needs that a basic wage will not cover, but immigrants will take those jobs, and with it, work damned hard, as they are used to it. The fault of Britons being unkean to do menial jobs that pay next to nothing, is because of the way our society has trained us, we have expectations, expectations created and laid upon us by education, industry and governments.
The lack of housing we all know keeps the house prices high, and we can't have the house prices dropping can we, what would the financiers banks and land holders say about that.
The BNP, as it stands, to me provides a thorn in the side of any government, and I do believe the upsurge of support for them, is an act of desperation by those that voted, tactical voting even, wake the politicians up. I believe Britain, is more Tolerant and accepting than the BNP suggests, and they may pass into the background once our political masters get a well thought out grip on what is ailing this country, and do something about it instead of offering knee jerk sound bites to make people think they care.
