When is a fascist not a fascist?

[KarlXII]

Not surprised here. Though, reviewing Griffins states policies, I found something odd, that being the Gurkhas are allowed to live in Britain after serving the country for some odd years, a policy Griffin wishes to remove. I'm quite puzzled at why he wants this removed, surely, regardless if they are Ghurka or English, a soldier is allowed to live in the country they risked their lives to defend.

[Beskar]

He wants it removed because they are not white.

The reason is as fundamentality retarded as that. Racists don't use logic to justify their opinions, just the colour of your skin.

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Why?

Think about it. Take them down in debate (it seems easy enough with Griffin), don't egg them.

[Furunculus]

Aw'some, so the people who revolted in France in 1789 against tyranny were fascists.

But just one further point, IA, if you think a demonstration against fascism which uses intimidation and eggs means the people demonstrating are fascists, you not only have one very wrong impression of fascism but moreover a very narrow view when judging people's actions.

i don't know, against my dictionary definition of facism posted earlier it seems pretty apt.

regardless, the problem isn't the BNP itself, it's the fact that 2 million people voted for them.

this means that mainstream politics is no longer representing the plurality.

this is the fault AND the problem of the mainstream.

and i think we can posit that this lack of representation stems from immigration.

Think about it.

What has that got to do with the price of cheese?
The post you are responding to was a question about your statement regarding respect.
So Mars why do politicians deserve respect ?

Take them down in debate , then egg them .
Though in my experience over in Britain with these scum the practice is take them down in debate, wait for them to lose their heads and make the first move , then introduce their heads to the floor. Its easy as brainless muppets like these get frustrated very easily when trying to think and almost by default try and get violent. OK maybe its cruel to do such things to people so retarded....but its fun .

Respect as being free from being egged or assaulted. We live in a democracy, and as long as it remains a proper democracy, we can express our opinions through debate, dialogue, and the ballot box. We cannot assault people.

No , most politicians deserve a damn good kicking

There's a lot of support for this opinion over here too. I guess we ought to just include that in the job description:

WANTED: Decider, with colleagues, of funding and public policy issues. Length of contract varies by location. Duties include: constant fund-raising for reelection; intense scrutiny of past and present public and personal life, and that of family members; tolerance of personal assault and minor batteries. Perquisites include: free transport, free insurance, bribery, graft, and attendant personal compensation - provided such bennies are never disclosed publicly.

No wonder we get crap representation; what kinda fool applies for such a job?

[Papewaio]

No , most politicians deserve a damn good kicking

What you want F1 management to be in charge?

More like Alt+F4 or Ctrl+Alt+Del.

[Andres]

I couldn't agree more

[Kralizec]

Let me play the devils advocate here:

The BNP candidates were elected in the Yorkshire and the Humber constituency and in the North West England constituency.
Since they don't actually represent anyone outside those constituencies, what reason could anyone not from there have to complain about them being elected?

[Furunculus]

they make the rest of the UK look bad, and put paid to the British conceit that unlike the continent Britain doesn't elect facists

[Kralizec]

Assuming that you don't live in either of these constituencies, let's put it this way: the locals elect their own representatives and it's none of your business, in the same way that it's not your business that the French elected Sarkozy for president.

yes/no?

I would personally have a problem with anyone who came to power over anyone else on the basis of fear mongering and hate.
