They can try to influence their members' thinking - as every single political party does - and with free speech there's no law against saying to someone 'I think it would be a good idea if you voted this way', but again no different than any political party's propaganda *shrugs* It gets illegal if they pay or threaten them in order to get them to vote but as far as I know they're not alone there either. Strange how the second oldest profession in the world so strongly resembles the first.

I find the fact that BNP gets to have any seats at all hugely disturbing, but then there are a lot of bigoted idiots and well meaning but uninformed people out there to vote for them.

I can see where a lot of votes might come from people who are understandably and thoroughly fucked off with the immigration laws when our hard earned taxes are being spent on housing and maintaining people from other countries who just think they'll have it easy over here. In some cases that's true, but in a lot of others they are not allowed to work legally and so get used as slave labour, turned to prostitution and drugs by force, held under the brutal control of organised thugs from their own country etc., etc. so we are not always doing them a favour by letting them into the country in the first place. If they're escaping total absolute horror and persecution then I believe it behoves us to help and protect them however we can. If they just fancy a change of scenery and do not come here with the resources to finance it, why the hell should those of us that work our asses off support them in any way whatsoever when our money already supports the British freeloaders who refuse to work and con the welfare system into supporting them?

As much as generosity is a virtue, it is outrageous that we are bending over backwards to please the non-British influx and to be politically correct to the detriment of our own vulnerable people. If we could possibly accommodate them all happily I would say the more the merrier, but it’s hurting people who are native to this country and that is in direct opposition to the duty that our government has to us.

As frustrating as all of this is, there are other parties who try to effect change with regard to immigration law and the above are to my mind not good enough reasons to go as far as joining or voting for the BNP; you've got to be pretty bloody low on the intellectual and ethical food chain to consider it. If you want to be patriotic tattoo the Queen on your arse.

Unfortunately, the present government is such a laughable yet disturbingly evil farce that people are turning to things they might not have considered in the past in the simple hope that it will turn out to be the lesser of the two weevils.
