What no BNP thread, even after all the sinn fein bashing

jank

Anybody see that programme last night on the bbc about the BNP?

What a bunch of quacks!

And folks here think that sinn fein are the next nazi party/Khmer Rouge all in one:rolleyes:

Do the BNP even have a economic policy?

At the risk of sounding terribly selfish the BNP dont threaten my way of life.

As for thier recent "success" I dont see it moving the party onto a higher plane. Back in the mid 70s the National Front had greater support but dies back down as quickly as they rose.

Barclays bank have closed all the BNP party accounts saying after see-ing that programme they didn't want the bad publicity of being associated with them.
That was in a statement they published yesterday afair.

Lets see

THE BNP

*Anti immigrant
*Anti Seperatist
*Anti Gay
*Anti traveller
*Linked to loyalist paramilitarism

SINN FEIN

*Pro immigrant,Anti racist
*Pro Separatist
*Anti Homophobe
*Pro traveller.
*Linked to Republican Movements

In many ways they are like Chalk and Cheese so i dont know where people are coming from when they start to compare them.The only valid points of comparison is that they are both excessively Nationalistic and both share the same Communist/Collectivisation economic values, But otherwise they are nothing alike.

I am not so sure about SFs economic values. They don't seem to have yet formed any definiatative view on capital gains tax yet. Some of them want it raised others don't.

im a bit confused by this nationalist but pro-immigration thing

afaik sinn fein are socialist nationalists

which i would dimly understand as for the (working) people but only our people?


althought most sf ive come across have worked on anti-racists issues?

Sharing a nationalist philosophy and general economic policies are a pretty big overlap, TBH. They also have Europhobia in common.

Also, why do you describe the BNP to be “linked to loyalist paramilitarism”, while SF is apparently only “linked to Republican Movements” - last time I looked the provisional IRA was a paramilitary organisation. You’re being a tad disingenuous, methinks.

what i meant was that sinn fein are linked to republican paramilitarism and the BNP are linked to loyalist paramilitarism

Ah well in this specific "difference" then, they're both walking, looking and quacking like ducks but flying different coloured flags.

What links exactly do the BNP have with Loyalist paramilitarism?

Is that what you meant? Really?

And there was I thinking that it looked more like you trying to underplay SF's paramilitary connections by deliberately using the term "movement" after you had described the BNP's connections openly to "paramilitarism".

I recommend google for all your "what do..." needs. Reading the first few links you'd see that, apart from the accusations, there's a definite link between the BNP and the UDA in the shape of Anthony David Jones as well as a BNP meeting in Oldham addressed by an intelligence officer from the LVF, as well as safehousing by Combat 18 and the RVF (the RVF is only linked to the BNP through C18) of LVF and UDA members in Bolton including John White.

That do?
