how can the BNP expect to win elections?

expect to win votes when all they can do is have a go at our brave soldiers purely because of the colour of their skin.

i am referring to the attack on lance-corporal johnson beharry who according to the BNP website was only awarded the VC because he is black.

the very fact that lance corporal beharry was fighting for queen and country in the first place is enough to warrant respect and admiration from the majority of british people-myself included.

i beleive the BNP has shot itself in the foot this time.

Update:

the nazi party was elected legally including the enabling act-everything was rosy in the garden-then came the holocaust!!.

    The 1st line on Lance-Corporal Johnson Beharry's citation reads....

    "Private Beharry carried out two individual acts of great heroism by which he saved the lives of his comrades. Both were in direct face of the enemy, under intense fire, at great personal risk to himself (one leading to him sustaining very serious injuries). His valour is worthy of the highest recognition".

    I would be proud to fight at the side of such a magnificent man, no matter if he were black or white. The BNP attempt to stain the reputation of Johnson, and also attempts to stain the honourable VC, the hardest medal to win anywhere else on earth. Absolutely disgusting attempts at hijacking an act of extreme bravery for their own gains. They lose their argument hands down.

    I will still be voting BNP, despite the fact that from what I have read, I personally think corporal beharry is a very courageous man. I think it may cost the BNP a few votes, but still expect them to win seats at the European Elections.

    You lefties realy love to spread lies about the BNP. I mean, do you even have a souce (link) to back up your claim? I know the BNP stated that lance corporal Beharry was not ethnically British because he was born on the island of Grenada in 1979, which is of course true. But they have said no such thing about him receiving the VC simply because he's black.

    You are assuming that most people vote with the brain , i am afraid to sadly dissolution you , most people vote from a sense of anger and disappointment often using there vote to punish , And with that attitude and the country's anger at the greed and impotence of this standing governments policies of appeasement to immigrants , We could well see a vote for BNP policies , Which appeal to that sense of being shoved to one side to make way for frighteners. I never believe most of the propaganda on here until i see it for myself , That is not to say i would belittle the courage of a very brave man .

    If no-one can question our PC country we are in trouble.

    The BNP are the only ones to question our PC Government on this.

    It seems Private Beharry is a brave man but the VC is a high award and very often the recipient is dead.

    Hundreds of men have been very seriously injured out there and been very brave.

    This incident is one of MANY.

    I don't trust this Government one bit.

    They have been manipulating everything we see so don't be too sure there is no truth in the positive discrimination accusation.

    I believe that Private Beharry is a good brave man but I have very little faith in his superiors and mistrust anything they do.

    We are after all in a very pointless war out there that was started by this Government.

    Men are dying every week for Blair/Brown's war and yet this is the one incident that deserves a VC

  • How can the BNP expect to win elections, when they are a bunch of ignorant, hypocrite, bigot fascists?

    I really have no idea mate. Maybe if everyone went mental when it came to voting day for the next general election and decided they wanted a Britain reminiscent of Nazi Germany, then they would get into power. Other than that I don't have a clue.

    Note how MacII and Danor completely ignore your question and the point you are making. Instead they go off on one about something else. You see this is what the BNP are hoping for, that the majority of British people are ignorant fools. Luckily this isn't the case.

    If labour and Tory can win elections by fiddling their expenses and robbing the taxpayers, then why shouldnt the BNP expect to win.

  • The BNP are a minority party, they represent about 3% of the electorate, please get the whole thing in perspective. They have come up with no comment about how they would support non British ethnics serving in the military, so my advice is you should ignore them, websites such as this are used by them to try to campaign, but as yet they have not been willing to take part in any meaningful debate.

    The nazi BNP will never win an election. Too many people know about the last time a nazi party seized power in a European country.

    Incidentally, the German nazi's never won an election. The best they did was to become the single biggest party. By rights there should have been a hung Parliament but you can rely on fascism to reject democracy when it suits them.
