You are posting links from the BNP!
Is anyone moderating this forum?
For those who aren't British:
The BNP is the British National Party, or British Fascist Party.
I am all for freedom of speech but posting links from the BNP (the most appalling drivel-spouters you can imagine) should be done on some weird ultra-right loons forum. I am sure every other user of Dave's ESL would agree me, or at least they bloody well should. |

The British National Party has the right to present candidates to Parliament, and indeed has many democratically elected councillors in the UK.
As the British government is legally obliged to provide it with venues pr meetings during a Parliamentary election in which it presents a candidate, I don't see why their opinions should be banned from Dave's. Or is Captain Yossarian one of those who thinks democracy is only for those who agree with him?
Mind you, it would be nice though if Jeddah Racist's clippings did have something to do with the topic in hand every now and again. |

A councillor in a small Pennsylvanian town has accused the borough's sole police dog of racial profiling, and wants it put down.
By Guardian Newspapers, 6/14/2002
A councillor in a small Pennsylvanian town has accused the borough's sole police dog of racial profiling, and wants it put down.
Wanda Jones Dixon told a council meeting at McKees Rocks, outside Pittsburgh, that Dolpho the German Shepherd sniffer dog had bitten a nine-year-old black boy.
She said she had received six complaints about the dog in the past year, three from black people who believed race was involved.
Some canine psychologists argue that lack of exposure to people of different appearance could prejudice dogs, as it does humans.
Other people dispute this, arguing that eyesight is one of a dog's weaker senses.
The local chief of police, Robert Martineau, dismissed the claim that Dolpho was a racist as "ludicrous".
The dog has been removed from active duty pending an investigation.

Anton: 'What is this world coming to?'
From Charlie Brooker, The Guardian, Saturday, October 23, 2004:
"On November 2, the entire civilized world will be praying Bush loses. And Sod's Law predicts he'll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of arrogance, idiocy and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Boothe, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr --- where are you now that we need you?"
Thus, this Guardian writer tells us:
Those voting for Bush are uncivilized.
The lowest common denominator will rule the U.S.
If Bush wins, God does not exist.
Liberals are in need of assasins.
Your question finds new currency, sir.
cheers,
ex |

ah the good old BNP...
well i remember meeting them for the first time. '87 it would be. Every year for a decade or longer, so I was told, they had met and marched through York after the Remembrance day parade, taking a break from stirring up race hate to have a day out in ye olde anciente nordic capital of olde englande ...
mind you i remember '88 better. Outnumbered them 10 to 1 that year we did. They never did come back... |
