Do BNP feel your money was well spent?

Do BNP feel your money was well spent hiring American models to try to represent British workers?

So much for giving preference to British workers!

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/bnps...

Update:

'Private'

Of course, cheap American stock photography instead of using any of the 2.2 million unemployed British workers. It's by no means the best argument against the BNP, but just more evidence of the blatant hypocrisy and dishonesty within the BNP.

'Paul R'

I'm surprised that you shrug off the needs of British workers in the name of being 'cost effective' as you so subtley put it. And as you seem so opposed to discrimination and physical attack from thugs, perhaps you could expand on the links between the BNP and Combat 18 and Redwatch. Treat us.

Update 2:

'Paul'

I honestly thought you'd do better than this. The BNP currently don't have expenses, but other than that they are funded in EXACTLY the same way as 'the three stooges' as you put it. All political parties are funded by donations.

Also, unfortunately you're misinformed. They were not sourced from a British agency, they were bought from a well-known Canadian company specialising in stock photography. This company's website clarifies that they offer between 20% and 40% of the download fee of each photo direct to the contributor or model.

I think it is wholly inappropriate that your party spent its money on exclusively foreign models, sourced from a foreign agency to represent your British support. 'British jobs for British workers'?. The pamphlet in question was misleading, deceptive and disingenuous in the extreme, and your attempts to justify it by fabricating information ('A British agency', 'the models were not paid') aren't showing the BNP in a very positive light.

    Haha what numbnuts! "British jobs for British workers" with Americans on the front. Idiots.

    UK guy: It's the message? That's hilarious. They are hypocrites, never mind stupid and you know it.

    Apparently the BNP support British job for British Workers.

    The pictures that were used were stock photos, which are much more cost effective than commissioning a photo shoot, so yes I'm very pleased.

    I'm also pleased that no members or supporters were put at risk of discrimination or physical attack from anti-democracy thugs like the SWP or UAF.

    All BNP money comes from donations given freely by us, unlike the public money used by the three little pigs and their stooges.

    (NB If you'd ever used a photo library you'd know that the only information they provide relating in any way to models are limitations of usage, all the photos were sourced from a British agency, had no limitations and the models were not paid anything but their original sitting fee, they didn't make 1 penny from the BNP.)

    The whole issue revolves around the enemy grasping at straws.

    The BNP used stock photos as a means to an end.

    The message of the BNP has never been isolationism.

    The message is no more unfair advantages for foreigners.

    If this is the best argument the opposition has to offer then it is clear that they are out of ideas.

    The BNP wants to debate,we want to air our views and share yours.If all was well in Britain then we wouldn't need a BNP.

    Please,if you have a worthwhile argument then please post.If not then please spare everyone the embarrassment of your floundering.

    With the English Democrats hammering them any time they take them on it is a waste of time, Gary Bushel rules.

    Of course we do it is better than having British workers attacked by Communists with hammers for supporting the BNP which be under no doubt they would and have done.Vote BNP you know it makes sense.We will deal with the Communists in our own time.

    We may even make them get a job and put their pictures on pamphlets in future.
