Guest Bob Mahelp Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 17 hours ago, RedRob72 said: The BNP haven’t managed to secure one single Westminster MP since its formation or the National Front before it. The handful of council & European seats they have managed to win in that period have been short lived tenures on realisation of their total ineffectuality in serving ‘their communities’. Compared with the far right in a number of neighbouring European countries their futile standing across the UK Electorate remains completely insignificant. Feel certain that the Griffins appearance and performance on QT received FAR more ridicule and derision that it gained in genuine and influential support. The BNP were a follow-on from the National Front and formed at a time when there was no social media or the thousand ways to come into public consciousness that we have today. They were rightly seen as extremists and (mostly) treated as such. UKIP are simply a far more subtle, intelligent branch of the BNP and as such were given a kind of main-stream credibility that covered up the fact that they're simply ignorant racists and xenophobes. The BBC and other media outlets saw Farage as 'good TV' and as such have given him a constant platform to air his populist, dog-whistle politics. There's no need for the BNP or even UKIP to exist anymore. They've effectively won everything they always wanted. The Tories are simply UKIP in disguise, and right-wing views across the country are now seen as normal and are treated as such by the likes of the BBC. The natural next step is the normalisation of the EDL and their poisonous views. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 This Robinson sounds a dick. Now, who wants to explain to me why national self determination on the basis of an imagined British national identity is right wing whereas national self determination on the basis of an imagined Scottish national identity is self evidently "right"? Scottish nationalism is still nationalism and therefore right wing. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson etc Al have a strong ethnic is racist tint to their brand of nationalism, Scottish nationalism is simply the belief that Scotland should be governed by the people who live here, regardless of their race or nationality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't know what the fucks going on either, or how to cover it with a semblance of neutrality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember as well that the print media in the UK is overwhelmingly right-wing. The Sun, The Daily Mail, The Express, The Telegraph, The Times. All of them aggressively pursuing a pro-Brexit, pro-Rees Mogg type agenda. It's actually a wonder that the UK has ever elected a Labour government at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not equating Sturgeon and Farage, let alone Robinson. I can see that some people probably do believe in the whole civic thing. To me though, that sounds like a justification as to why scottish nationalism isn't as bad as others. A huge number of nats just hate the English and I've heard enough chat about white settlers and ethnic abuse that i can't believe that scottish nationalists don't include anyone that harbours these sentiments. At the end of the day, you believe in nationality as the most important factor in government. That's a right wing position. Not saying it's wrong, but you need to be honest with yourselves. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
