Got spare money?

quote:
We mean the bonds of culture, race, identity and roots of the native British peoples of the British Isles. We have lived in these islands near on 40,000 years! We were made by these islands, and these islands are our home. When we in the BNP talk about being British, we talk about the native peoples who have lived in these islands since before the Stone Age, and the relatively small numbers of peoples of almost identical stock, such as the Saxons, Vikings and Normans, and the Irish, who have come here and assimilated.


I really can't fathom what he could be referring to when he uses the word 'we' here. To describe 40 millennium of constant invasion, political and cultural change, changes in language, changes in religion with two simple letters and expect it to mean something is just absurd.

Everyone knows that this island is populated by a mongrel people. Britain has been invaded by huge amount of different nations and cultures. To suddenly draw an arbitrary line in the sand and say "Right, now THIS is what a British person is like" is an absolute absurdity.

The people of who live on this island have undergone a period of constant cultural flux that has lasted for the entire expanse of recorded history. The continuation of this process should be celebrated as the newest chapter our story.

The reference to the Vikings and Normans as "peoples of almost identical stock [...]who have come here and assimilated" is the most telling. Compare the invasion of the Vikings (which I notice the BNp isn't complaining about) to the immigration of Indian, Pakistani and West Indian people into Britain.
The Vikings? Hey, they may have invaded the country, butchered many of the inhabitants, raped the women and deposed the government, but at least they weren't a bunch of niggers. Perhaps any kind of violent cultural overthrow is counted as 'assimilation' by the BNP as long British people don't start looking a bit brown.

I don't see why not ... the BNP are still harping on about 40,000 years ago.

No, he's a lame troll, but it's equally disturbing.

The BNP is a Neo-Nazi group no matter what they say, they say they are tolerent of minorities but if they get power they will be hanging Africans and Indians left and right.

I recon that FOX is a tabloid. Same with the Washingtom Post.

I listen to the BBC on the raidio all the time, they are not biased, the righties are just mad because the "liberal" media tells the truth.
