I would say 'no' to most of those, with the following caveat :

2) All governments make some empty promises, it has been ever thus.

What one may think is 'wasted' tax spend, another will see as essential. It is subjective, as are most of the questions.

lol budgie ..

I answer yes to all, but that being the case, it certainly doesn't mean I hold the same views as BNP. These are very general questions of the situation as a whole, and anyone who is fed up with our current government would probably answer the same.

Be aware, the BNP tell us what we want to hear, and that is how they are trapping so many people into voting for them. For instance, on a local level, they will ask if you are fed up of the council not dealing with the housing proble....and of course the answer is yes. But any party could ask that question.

It's not how we FEEL about something that is important, but what any party is actually going to DO about it. All parties have immigration policies, all parties have economic policies, all parties have crime policies. Just because we don't like what is happening now, does not place us as BNP supporters, heaven forbid!

dont get in a tizz,,its only catch 22 joke ,:}}}}}}}

Yes to all but I'm also not a BNP supporter and have no intention of voting for them xx

lol I do like to be different ;)

'No' to all , except for 4 and 5...to which my answer was not 'yes' but 'in some cases' . Find me a government of any party that has pleased all of the people all of the time in all aspects of its running of the country. There is no such animal :)

Quite interesting :-)

Certainly dont feel 2nd class, people will always feel betrayed by whatever govt. is in place, what traditions...? Again, people always subscribe to the feeling that criminals have it easy, taxes are always wasted on things people dont agree with or have their own agenda, our borders are OK - we are an island, illegal immigration is a concept for popular mythology and enough is enough can mean whatever you want it to.

But the BNP is a legitimate political party, whether you agree with them or not. Once you stifle free speech, it's the start of the slippery slope. So I welcome anyone that puts these views forward so that people can make their own minds up, in an informed manner, of course.

I am a yes to all for different reasons than general respondents I would guess.

Yes, I am treated as second class (no need to expand on that).

I'll be betrayed by every government for as long as they can open their mouths and speak.

Traditions are being suppressed by Health and Safety not just the implied immigrant percentage.

Criminals who receive compensation for ridiculous counter claims is damn stupid.

Taxes will never be spent where I think they should be.

Lost control of borders, definitely but I blame the EU in part for shuffling the responsibility across each border till it becomes the UK's problem.

Enough is enough, yes and it always was and always will be.

Am I a BNP supporter, not at present but when they become more main stream like Plaid Cymru who knows!

BNP? ........Isn't that British Nuclear Power? lol

:o))

Kay, if you were to take Nick Griffin out the the party and say put a Martin Bell type personality in I wonder then how people would react?

Griffin is a vile, contemptible swine, he does politics in general absolutely no favours.

Sue x

Griffin may be all of those things - I personally think the same of Blair as an individual - but I wonder why so many people disagree and have followed the democratic procedure and voted the BNP into power - albeit in a small way, with a handful of seats in Europe and on local councils. I suppose that is democracy in action.

Eldrick maybe desperation and democracy can be interchanged in that context...lol

I don't think the BBC did anyone any favours with the high handed way he was dealt with on Question Time tbh...and said so at the time. I heard a lot of people say the next day he had been *jumped on* and not given his chance to say his piece...I'm afraid he won a few sympathy voters that night.

Like it or not...(I agree with Eldrick here)...they're a legit political party and it's public debate that should stifle them not anything else x

Yes, Muffy, that's the way to do it. Preserve free speech and the right to an opinion - no matter how unpleasant - and let people decide for themselves.

Is someone somewhere suggesting that BNP members should be punished for what they say?

If not, what's the free speech issue here?

It's entirely possible to acknowledge that someone's act of speaking is protected by their right to speak, without welcoming what they say.

And it's certainly not acceptable for anybody to claim that democracy is all about the marketplace of ideas and everybody having their go and people making up their own minds from what they hear ... and then to sit on their backside and say nothing when scum like the BNP talk. Unless they're on the BNP's side, of course.

'Cause if democracy is about the marketplace of ideas, and one believes in democracy, then one stands up and speaks out. Otherwise, one really doesn't believe in much of anything.

contrary to what many people believe, it is Whitehall that runs the country......the " Government" are merely figureheads.......

thats MY belief......

'Free Speech' can be costly sometimes.
