    And at times it has even managed to pass itself off as a nastier version of the Mail.

    Good god, nastier than the Mail, is that possible? :)

    It's significant because Richard Desmond contributes large sums of money to the Labour Party.

    But, of course, getting your news from Yahoo!, you'd know this already.

    Desmond is a profoundly nasty piece of work and a corrupt dickhead. That he is allowed to own a national newspaper is nothing short of a disgrace.

    I take some of you will have heard of his latest 'incident' last week... He met some Telegraph bosses to discuss the print works the Express and Telegraph groups jointly own. But Desmond chose instead to embark in a 4-minute racist outburst, calling the Telegraph bosses "fucking wankers" and "fucking cunts", giving Nazi salutes, asking his Express minions to sing "Deutschland uber Alles" with him, goose-stepping and suggesting all Germans are Nazis. This from the man whose own grandmother died in a Nazi concentration camp...

    Below is the full story. Read it through it because it really beggars belief. Though I must say I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in that office! :D

    Liberal democrats are more scum because they are so liberal on everything that they let everyone walk all over them.

    huhi didnt say your scum, so you dont like socially liberal governments, so im assuming that means youd vote for a facist party due to them being "lets put these people in prison because they dont agree with us" attitude, oh yes you support the bnp dont you

    personally i think osmeone is thick if they vote tories, but thats my own opinion, the sort of thing youd like to clamp down on eh

    and no i dont like abu hamza before you ask, and no i dont think this country should be an open gate for immigrants, but THIS COUNTRY NEED LOW SKILLED IMMIGRANTS (unless you want to pay extortionate amounts to support all the reitred people here) but i dont think people turning to racism to solve their problems helps either so excuse me for having some level of compassion

    btw the reason immigrants dont stop off in france or germany even though they pay more in benefits etc etc is because we dont have unemployment problems and so that would suggest they want to work

    The BNP win votes by exploting myths about immigration, the "loss of British identity" to foreigners and assorted bullshit.

    And that's exactly what rags such as the Daily Hatemail or the Scum do on a daily basis.

    As far as I'm concerned there are only two types of BNP voters: those who vote for them because they share their racist xenophobic agenda, and those who are so gullible and stupid they believe the BNP somehow speaks the truth about immigration, asylum or the impact of foreigners in this country and it's the party that can deal most effectively with such issues.

    The BNP is against all sorts of immigration Lukesh... I thought you said you didn't mind migrants who came here to work.

    Do you now advocate "voluntary" repatriation of non-whites living here and a full stop to immigration, as the Nazi boys do?

    Well you were the one saying the BNP partly speaks the truth about immigration weren't you?

    I doubt the BNP knows how to spell 'immigration', let alone knowing anything about it.

    nice to see tax-payers money poured down the drain

    Blagsta has a vested interest in asylum seekers, hence his endless advocacy

    And you have a vested interest against them, being a BNP activist.

    I'm getting a bit sick of your snide non-contributions ladymuck. You are on thin ice.

    Please stop making personal remarks (and that goes for you as well Blagsta), and play nice.
