Unfortunately, I am not an academic. If I were, then I'd have a tenured post with a full inflation-proof pension paid for by the rest of you!!
But it is interesting that someone simply dismisses it all, and hurls the word 'academic' at my feet as some sort of insult. It also illustrates how low the standard of education has sunk if the strands of modern history are a mystery to most people. Santayana was probably a bridge too far...
As for all this "law-abiding" stuff, white males make up 83% of the prison population, so it is the Brits, the people Nick Griffin wants to support, not the immigrants, who are breaking the Law!! Black British Nationals make up 12% of the prison population.
The BNP do not represent "most" people's views. The latest poll shows that 22% "would consider" voting for them, 3% would probably vote for them, and 38% said they would definitely not vote for them. Or, 78% won't consider voting for them, and 97% probably won't vote for them.
And then there's that wonderful line about the main parties "losing the do-gooders vote." We seem to be a nation of do-gooders, as there were 27 million votes cast at the last General Election, and 24 million of them were for the three main parties! Maybe there is another possible explanation for the main parties not wanting to say what Nick Griffin says - they don't agree with him, or believe in what he says? Nah, that doesn't make a good line down the pub, does it??!!!
(For the record, the BNP managed to get 193,000 people, or 0.7% of the vote, to put a cross in their box at the last General Election. Not 'most' people...)
I can echo the stories above about how hard-working and diligent I find the people that Nick Griffin hates and wants to 'send home'. By Griffin's standards, with my mother born in Lahore, and my father's parents being German, I am one he needs to send home. Since my mother's father was Scottish and was in India building railways when she was born, and my father's parents fled Germany to escape the Nazis, I am not sure where home is!!
And since the Norman invasion of 1066 installed a French-speaking monarchy, aristocracy and clerical hierarchy, couldn't we send Nick Griffin back to France?!!!
