There were elections a few weeks ago. I was quite happy to discover that I was actually registered to vote down here so I got to vote. I don't know why, this area is so Tory blue that they actually take more than 50% of the vote... somewhere about 65% I think.
Anyhow, despite all this those Up North have let us all down by somehow managing to vote in a couple members of what could be nominally called the British Nazi Party, though I believe they go by a slightly different name.
Now these are a bunch of people I just don't understand. They have a hatred inside of them which makes no sense to me. I mean, they say that they want a "great" Britain and yet how much of that greatness waqs actually built by those of foreign birth?? Across the Sub-Continant, Africa, The Americas, Australasia. There have been peoples of non-British stock living here since... well, since before the Romans. In fact, considering that Africa is the bowl of the human species we are all from somewhere else.
I have only really known one person whom I would call racist (I honestly had never heard the term "wog" being used in general conversation before) which was quite funny considering that they were a first generation immigrant.
Driving home from work on Tuesday my assistant and I were listening to the radio when they started talking about the attacks on the Romanian population in Belfast that had driven them out of their homes.
"Well, they're all illegal immigrants anyway"
"No they're not..."
"Really..??? Well, none of them can speak English.."
"Well, the one they were interviewing on the radio seemed to be doing pretty well."
"Doesn't matter, that's why I voted for the BNP, I totally agree with what they think should be done for this country..."
Quite frankly after that I could think of nothing to say other than, "You're walking the rest of the way." I mean, I know that he is a Daily Star reader but even so. How could anyone in their right mind think that a vote for the BNP is anything other than a vote for stupidity?? If you want to protest spoil your ballot or vote from one of the slightly less dangerous fringe parties, like the Greens but why would you vote for the BNP??
Afterall, didn't we learn about a certain Austrian in history class?? With hindsight surely we wouldn't vote him back in again, so why do people vote for the British version??
I just don't get it...
