I nominate you for stupidest person on this board.
And that is some achievement, seeing as any Tom, Dick and Harry is let on........
9/10 people I speak too don't want stupid people on these boards, they make a mess of it, it is so bad...... :crying:
I'm off to console myself with the 'intelligent' Daily Mail.......... :no:
No-one has ever lived anywhere for more than a 1000 years!!!!
I would imagine pretty much all the 'whities' who you consider 'real' British, have Norman blood
That kinda puts a hole in your criterion doens't it?
Lets get rid of those awful Anglo-Saxons and Normans. And anyone with Roman blood. Oh and the Vikings. And the Irish come to that.
And the Scots had better move back to ireland where they came from. And can anyone find any Picts anymore?
Bugger it, given the confusion this could cause perhaps we better all move back to Africa where all our ancestors originated from.
Too many stupidities to bother replying to them all (or any of them to be honest).
Besides I'm not sure if you're going to be here much longer.
Have you had your morning wank over a photo of Nick Griffin yet?
Good riddance. Thank you Jim!
I don't think it is good to ban all the idiots really, people need some target practise........
Good riddance IMO.
Lots of people agree with him and think these things, if we don't talk to them we can't show them up or try and persuade them they are wrong.
If we always ben them it will just reinfocre their view that they are right........
He never did list the numerous muslims, but its clear that he wasn't that interested in what we had to say....
His assertion that the Daily Mail was "full of intelligent content" beggared belief
This WAS offensive:
This WAS offensive and moronic:
After belittling Blagsta for suggesting that the 8 in his name didn't stand for Hitler, its interesting that he claimed he uses the name "all over the internet":

Interestingly enough, the recently banned "Isenheart" was a BNP man too...
This hardly qualifies as a well thought out position:
Its just dumb, kneejerk bollox .........
And thats even before we talk about his desire for ethnic cleansing....
Do lots of people really hold these views? If so, why isn't the BNP the largest political party?
It just doesn't seem to be a very good way of dealing with extremists to simply dismiss, insult and ban them, even if they 'deserve' it. I think you have to listen to what these people are saying and really destroy them and discredit their arguments rather than just showing them the door........
The BNP are a small party but the two biggest parties policies on immigration are both very extreme and right-wing in my mind, why would this be if most people were not hostile to immigration to some degree?
As for the extent of these views among the UK public, the extreme ones that you highlight are rare I think but the general sentiment is very widespread. i think if the BNP were not so widely condemned more people would vote for them to be honest.
Which seems a good reason not to provide a platform for knee jerk reactionary bollox. And, some people may take major offence at reading racist diatribes like that.
If someone is prepared to engage in a 2 way discussion ,to be challenged, to provide sources to back up their claims, then there is some point in engaging with them, even if their views are offensive.
Spluttering out as many racist inanities as you can before you get banned is a different story.
I’ve been reading this thread with keen interest.
Isenheart8 seems like he’s got a lot of misguided anger built up. Unfortunately when people have such small minded and extremist views on the world, it’s very hard to change them.
As far as I can see the immigration issue comes down to a case of simple human empathy. If I was living in a civil war torn country / dictatorship / poverty stricken country then I’d like to think that another country would take me in and give me a second chance at a normal life.
Also, the argument of asylum seekers coming over and draining the country of resources is nonsense. Financially the country comes out in plus figures even after offsetting the amount that is paid in benefits and public services etc. through the tax that the asylum seekers / immigrants pay.
Just my thoughts anyway!
This is the fact that the right seem unable to acknowledge and which few (including shamefully, the govt) seem willing to promote.
i think most people who show hostility towards immigrants do so because they feel that they will 'get less'. This is of course bollocks.......
Of course the real reason behind many peoples hostility, though not everyone will admit it is that they have issues about culture, religion etc and feel threatened on those grounds.
Seeing as this line of argument inevitably descends into racism and xenophobia they can't just use that so they create the fear of reasources being stretched which is a lie........
Mind, I don't think it's particularly hard to see why travelling communities of all creeds and races are despised so much.
It's amazing how a few things can be twisted just slightly enough to make an entire population look terrible. Every time you get some travellers who set up camp on an illegal site the newspapers scream about it, such as with the selfish twats who delayed the opening of Darlington's new mental health hospital by camping in the car park and destroying the surface. But there's silence when it comes to the travellers who live happily on designated sites.
The trouble is that the minority do just enough, and get such overblown coverage, to make anti-traveller bigotry not entirely unjustified among a lot of people.
