Fucking great, the BNP assholes are in this area...

??

the main problem is that you can never get rid of the bubbles.

I think the asylum seekers being shipped into Sighthill awakened a lot of latent racism, but the folk who live there are of the poor giro-class pack mentality anyway.

Apart from Asian families there was very little variety of cultures where I was brought up, certainly no West-Indian, African or Eastern European people. I felt a total hick on my first Southbound Victoria-Line train journey after moving to London and I kinda realised that the geographical seperation of my childhood was a total petri-dish for that evil, almost casual half-hearted regionalism and racism that stinks up many Scottish peoples attitudes.

Unfortunately it's comments like these which make "the folk who live there" into racists.

The procurator-fiscal's office in Glasgow is now studying the leaflets.

The BNP said it was free to distribute what it claimed was factual material and argued that there was nothing in the literature which broke the law.

The BNP, like many political parties, is distributing election material across Scotland in the run-up to the European elections on 10 June.

Examining material

The Glasgow charity, Positive Action in Housing, said it had received 55 complaints about the leaflets, which show a Union Flag being burnt by men of Arab extraction above claims of an "asylum time bomb".

Strathclyde Police said they had brought the matter to the attention of the procurator fiscal, who is examining the material and considering an investigation.

It is thought that other fiscals in Scotland may soon follow suit.

Solicitor advocate Gerry Brown said that the leaflets could contravene laws on inciting racial hatred or simply cause such alarm or distress that they committed a breach the peace.

I think this is a total waste of police time and a big fuss about nothing

BNP

He said: "I would have thought that with something as important as this - with the impact on local communities - it is almost certain that the procurator fiscal's office in Glasgow will refer the enquiries and reports to the Lord Advocate in Edinburgh."

One woman who received the leaflet told BBC Scotland: "I was almost too upset to read it. I was very shocked and felt it was an incitement to racial hatred."

The woman complained to her local mail sorting office who told her that, due to election communication, no-one could prevent the leaflet from being posted.

Kay Hampton, of the Commission for Racial Equality in Scotland, encouraged people to report to the police any materials which "appear to encourage racial hatred".

'Fear and anxiety'

She added: "Elections should be a time for the fullest debate of the issues faced by people across Scotland, but that debate should be informed by fact and directed towards solutions.

"It should not be an occasion for peddling prejudice and stirring up and exploiting fear and anxiety."

The BNP's Steve Blake said there was nothing in the leaflet which broke the law.

"I think this is a total waste of police time," he went on.

"The material was given the OK by our team of legal experts so to be honest, I think this is a big fuss about nothing.

"We are clear that we do not advocate any kind of violent attack on anybody simply because of who they are.

"The majority of people who are in the BNP and the vast majority of people who plan to vote for us, are law abiding, decent, hard-working British people."

YOu might as well Google for that if you really want to photoshop 'ILX' in place of 'BNP' on whatever you find know

El partido homologo al BNP en España, Democracia Nacional, hace un llamamiento a todos los Británicos que residan en España para que apoyen con su voto al BNP en las Elecciones Europeas. Democracia Nacional considera que el BNP es el único partido que defenderá los derechos de los británicos en Europa.

De igual modo, desde el BNP hacemos un llamamiento similar a todos los españoles que residan en Gran Bretaña, y por extensión, a todos los españoles que lean este comunicado (cualquiera que sea su lugar de residencia). Te pedimos el voto para Democracia Nacional, para que pueda luchar por la identidad, cultura e independencia española y europea.

ENVIRONMENT - NO to pollution!

Our ideal for Britain is that of a clean, beautiful country, free of pollution in all its forms. We will enforce standards to curb those practices, whether by business or the individual, which cause environmental damage. “The polluter pays to clean up the mess” must become a fact of life, not an electioneering slogan. In towns we would work to replace the brutalist modernism of 1960s-style-architecture with a blend of traditional local styles and materials and a more human scale.

What should I read between the lines here?

sorry, but I've come to hate the economies of presumption and condescension built into, unleashed and galvanised by the phrase 'ned'.

i think he preferred it in the 1850s

Hongroism?
Oi?
