Only BNP wants to withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan?

    When I look at the web pages for the political parties in Britain it seems that it is only the British National Party that advocates ending the wars in both Iraq AND Afghanistan.

    Maybe it would be good if many Brits voted for the BNP if that would put an end to these wars.

    Yeah right - perfectly logical.

    Prolly that logic that got Mussolini elected, the Italians really wanted the trains to run on time.

    If the Brits withdrew from Afghanistan at the price of the BNP rising to power I would still be okay with that. I don't live in Britain, I will never live in Britain.

    I would be happy to see the British "Black and Tans" withdraw from Afghanistan and Iraq and if it is under a BNP government so what?

    You must be joking...It would not be "good" if the British people voted for these thuggish, outdated racists, whatever their policy on Iraq.

    You really are a right Charlie! Of course you'd be fine with a bunch of fascist thugs in power as you don't live there and will never do so by your own admission. Imagine if they got elected and invaded Ireland!

    I suppose if that's the only thing you want from your government, then yes, vote BNP.

    Unless, of course, you feel, even slightly uncomfortable with the rest of their policies.....

    You really don't have a clue...I don't live in Africa so why should I care about the people starving out there?:rolleyes:

    I assume this thread is a piss-take.

    Perhaps because as a British subject, (if you were living in the UK) you'd be eliminating one type of blatant human depravity for another type of blatant human depravity on your fellow subjects.

    Neither of these are right, but you would have to live and work amongst your own fellow British subjects, and see the results of your actions at first hand.

    Could you live with that?

    Initial premise is too flimsy to sustain meaningful debate.
