the articles posted by another user about the BNP are fair comment.
A few issues I would like to raise are :-
How many people can honestly say that at no point in their lives have they ever told a joke that refers to a black man?
Now humour over concentration camps can be appaling, I say this because I have heard one or two jokes and I laughed, because they are jokes, they are not insults to the victims or survivors of the holocaust. And also remember it wasnt just jews that were killed by the Nazis.
If you think that telling a racist joke is bad, what about all the war movies where the nazis were portrayed as docile idiots and were the evil bad men? Did the troops fighting in WW2 not tell jokes about the Nazis? therefor this would brand them racist.....to me its crazy, humour of this nature should never be told to cause offence and I certainly wouldnt tell Irish jokes to an Irish person just as I wouldnt tell concentration camp jokes to a Jewish person.
However just because it isnt your "style" of humour does not simply make it racist.
I personally dont like a lot of comedians, so I dont listen to them.
Anyone that is fundementally against everything the BNP stands for really should not be carrying out investagitive journalism about them.
I do wonder if people are linking the BNP to the NF (National Front).
Also why are the BNP only labelled racist when they also dislike communists?
What I think the problem is too many people relate the BNP to the skinheads, they havent bothered to take the time to research the party and they beleive everyhting thats printed in the papers...well the Sun and the Mirror usually, and you cant get much more left wing than the Mirror or more xenophobic than the sun.
Oh and for the record, I have not voted BNP and I dooubt highly I would, but they do interest me.
