Hard to distinguish the BNP members from the general public on here!!

If you don't like living in this country, move. If you don't like the politicians who govern us, vote. The reality is that people prefer to winge without a fact in sight, and prefer a keyboard to the ballot box. What amuses me is people complaining about what the immigrants get away with (allegedly) without for one moment thinking that it is the incompetent white Anglo-Saxon Protestants that run the country who can't get enought police on the streets, Immigration and Customs officers on the borders, or Civil Servants in the Offices of State!

What do you think comes first - people who bend the system, or people who cannot stop the system being bent? Isn't it the case that, faced with an incompetent cashier who gives you too much change, the vast majority of people of any race colour or creed will take it and say nothing? Are you all saying you obey every speed limit all the time even when there's no camera or copper? No.

You all have the chance to change things next year. Vote. It doesn't matter who you vote for, just do it. Every Government elected since WW2 has been elected by the minority of voters. 60-odd% turnout at the last election - what would happen if the other 40% voted for other candidates? They'd win.

Personally I don't agree with anything the BNP says or stands for, but I do not want to live in a country where they are denied the right to say it, especially by a bunch of phone and keyboard jockeys who don't vote. (I don't mean here, but take a look at other forums, and some of the BBC site and 'phone-in feedback to see what I mean).

Despite all that, there is only one thing that winds me up - people who shrug their shoulders, say politicians are all the same, and don't vote. Of course they're all the same, because all the same people vote for them!! Make it your one New Year resolution - to vote, and make sure everyone you know votes. That's how the system works, and being outside it won't change it.

When the French Government tried to change the pension age and benefits for it's people, they rioted and the Government changed back. We have just been similarly shafted and no one says a word. No one is going to change this country for you, you have to change it for yourself. You have that chance next year - don't come back on here complaining if you don't take it. If things are to change, we have to get off our arses and VOTE!!

The soapbox is free now, if anyone else wants a go!!
