Re: Bnp

Just a few quick comments from me,
Theres a thing go on around here (not exactly sure what only vagely read the posters) about the bnp must be stopped there terrorists. (of which terrorists seem to be the flavour of the year). That in myself made me abit angry, we live in a land of free speach and people should vote for what they want and everyones opinion should be represented in some way or form.
All though majority rule in some cases can be dangerous when turnout is low.
Last year at my students union agm a motion was proposed by the islamic society to ban all clubs and societies from recieving sponsorship from 'arms companies' such as BAE systems and the navy (they produced a whole list of them i cant remember them all) on the grounds that its imorral. The motion itself in somepart got through because there supporters turned up and the rest didnt. They then proceedid to 'hijack' the meeting and get through motions that favoured them.

In a way there actions anoyied me, surely its upto the members of the club who they accept money from and if some members dont like that they can object to it within the club. The bit that angered me was, what gave them the right to tell me what i can and cant do, surely thats upto only one person, Me.

The only other point i've got really is how many more times are governement contracts going to be sold to overseas companies that are destined to rip us off.
We've allready got helicopters that can't fly in clouds, Guns that jam and on the way planes that cant take off from our carriers.
