Did you notice that Gordon Brown mentioned the BNP at the Labour Conference yesterday? Yippeee! They are obviously getting up his nostrils somewhat! And Ruth Kelly resigns to look after her children....yippeee again, but doesn't Gordon Brown have children also? We can but hope, but who would replace him? I reckon that Mr Bean lookalike has already tripped himself up so it won't be him.

Well no, you've got your own problems over there Diana. Obama or McCain? - I don't know much about either of them, but somehow neither seem to be particularly refreshing to me.

The BNP are gaining in popularity inmy area, which is worrying, because they haven't really changed at all: they're still the same nasty racists they always are.  It seems they'll keep on gaining until the government gets on top of the immigration situation, and makes the country a fair place for everyone to live.  People are becoming frustrated that immigrants get hand outs all the time, but British born people are having to pay assive taxes to support them.

Hi Alan, I don't agree with the first part of your comments, but thats what free speech is all about. I think the BNP has changed and because they have changed they are gaining strength fast. Take a look at their website, it's a very different setup today.

As for handouts, well isn't that exactly whats happening? Yes we are frustrated because you couldn't go to another country anywhere in the world and receive treatment like the Brits offer, and who is paying for it, the taxpayer! It's why you can't get your pension increased. Then there's the Ghurka's as I have written about in another thread, they have fought for us for 200 years and are being kicked out! Now consider who you would rather have settle here.
