    They're just focusing on Islam because it sells well. It's their new strategy.
    Quote from: Nick Griffin in Burnley in March 2006
    We bang on about Islam. Why? Because to the ordinary public out there it's the thing they can understand. It's the thing the newspaper editors sell newspapers with. If we were to attack some other ethnic group—some people say we should attack the Jews... But ... we've got to get to power. And if that was an issue we chose to bang on about when the press don't talk about it ... the public would just think we were barking mad. They'd just think oh, you're attacking Jews just because you want to attack Jews. You're attacking this group of powerful Zionists just because you want to take poor Manny Cohen the tailor and shove him in a gas chamber. That's what the public would think. It wouldn't get us anywhere other than stepping backwards. It would lock us in a little box; the public would think "extremist crank lunatics, nothing to do with me." And we wouldn't get power.


    If you want you can watch the entire speech here:

    Also, I would like anyone who is considering voting for the BNP to tell me what Griffin means by what he says in this video at 1:17:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04QolIvfQEw


    This is a party that has had leaders who have denied the holocaust, who had said Mein Kempf is their bible, and who praised Oswald Mosley.
    Anybody who believes they've changed is either blind or intentionally deluding themselves.

    The funny thing is that Griffin says that they have to water down their policies so that they can be accepted into the mainstream and eventually get into power only to enforce the policies they abandoned in the first place.
    Does he not realize that the people who would supposedly vote for them only because they abandoned they racist policies would not allow them to enforce these policies? wouldn't hell break lose?
    I mean does he really believe the British people are racist or is he just saying this to keep the donations from his base coming?

    It's our old friend HenriMoaner and it looks like he has made two sock puppet accounts. He doesn't post here any more, and only wants to slag us off at FFI despite people welcoming him back after his first tantrum. Roll Eyes Plus duplicate and triplicate accounts are a breach of our rules, and making them solely for the purpose of skewing poll results is really slimy. My guess is he wants to make us look like BNP supporters. Banhammer FTW. Afro

    Had a brief pm exchange with him since one of his accounts logged in just before I banned them all. He didn't deny it and was surprised we were able to track who had voted in the poll. Made a comment about our "overpriced software really earning its keep". That's hilarious, because all our software is free.  bunny

    Oh and credit to Berbs for checking the poll votes. I checked all the IP's used and login times and the matches were solid.

    I think I should reset the votes in that case. Are people able to change their votes, by the way? I ticked the option initially, but after editing a typo on the poll I think it was lost. Could you check it please?

    I wouldn' t bother resetting the poll. That's a PITA for people and we can just ignore the obvious troll votes. All the other seem legit. Smiley

    Thanks. I'm gonna go ahead and reset the poll though - I'm just really anal like that. Sorry folks.

    Edit: Crap. I reset the count and the option to change votes vanished again. Sorry for the bother osmanthus - I'd appreciate it if you could fix it one more time. Thanks.

    Just finished watching the live debated between, Brown, Cameron and Clegg.

    And before all the pundits give their views - my view is Nick Clegg came across really well. I'm liking him more and more!  Afro

    I thought Brown sounded tired, boring and heavily scripted and Cameron sounded slippery and smarmy.

    I think it will be impossible for the Lib Dems to actually win - but they may end up sharing power with one of the two - probably with Cameron - and I think that would be a good thing.

    I liked Clegg's honesty about the need to make cuts and he has some good suggestions about how to do that - while Brown kept insisting we need to spend our way out of crisis and Cameron just sounded non committal.

    Poll on who won the debate:

    43% Clegg

    26% Cameron

    20% Brown

    11% None

    Ditto. I just saw the audience reaction on ITN, Clegg seems to have done quite well for the LibDems tonight. I still need to find the time to read their manifesto's before wading into a debate, tbh.

    I feel Brown is just making silly promises of spending to save his neck - and sounds like like he's fiddling while Rome burns.

    I suspect Cameron will win, but it worries me that he seems also want to just say things that please and pretends that stopping waste will somehow pay off our debt.

    Clegg was much more honest and really seemed to understand what he was talking about - and was also very assured (quite surprising for such a young and inexperienced  politician) He made excellent suggestions imho about cutting Trident (the Cold War is long over FFS!) and ending Tax Credits for those who don't really need it etc..

    Yes, but last I heard Cameron was an atheist too.  So either way its win-win on the secular front.

    I'm not so sure. The tories talking about tax cuts for married couples and things like this make me a little suspicious about whether they've really turned over a new leaf. I hope I'm wrong.
