People can vote for who they like but I still don't see the BNP as a political powerhouse. Their past Nazi and Hitler-loving origins turn off a lot of people - despite the BNP's best efforts to lose that part of their history. I really don't think they have any kind of high ground - moral or otherwise. I mean, your most high profile councillor was found to be cheating on his fiance with an immigrant recently. That's certainly sticking to your principles that one. Plus looking at most BNP councillors reminds of an experiment gone wrong between a pitbull and a human-sized tattooed potato.

I find it horrifying that pro-immigration activists here would resort so quickly to raising the nightmares of the Holocaust to try to forcibly shut-down any political party or group that tries to stop mass immigration.

The truth is that the BNP is trying to prevent the destruction of their own people in the face of modern colonism, they are not Nazis and I do not believe they would ever harm anyone else. Unlike Labour who chose to help invade Iraq.</b>

Was he? I don't know as I don't bother reading the lying gutter press. If you really are a Vicar you're a disgrace to your country. You should be out there defending your (our)cristian values like this brave Vicar. Instead of hiding behind your spineless PC platitudes. When the day comes that you need the indigenous population to defend you, you'd better pray that they forgive you.

This is the internet Francis.

We could ask the same of you, John (your name is spelt with a capital letter by the way).

What possible motive could the BNP rent-a-mob have for descending en masse to a local rag that is simply doing its job and publishing a story in the public interest? Men (and chicks) of the Church should really view all men (and chicks) as equal. That includes those dark-skinned types as well.

Rev Stanton's political views change like the wind. Lib-Dem, Tory. Now BNP.

He might go completely crazy next time and join the English Democrats (that's meant in jest, Kim) :p</b>

I doubt that very much.

Political parties skew "the truth" to suit their needs. They all do it and the BNP are no different. Far right, far left - they all do it.

In all seriousness, the BNP will never lose its Nazi tag. It just won't. Pictures of its founder in Nazi regalia just doesn't seem very "patriotic" to me. A few years previous and he would have been hung as a traitor wouldn't he? Not as the saviour of Britain.

At the end of the day people can vote for who they like and have allegiance to whatever party they like. I'm not left or right - I think most political parties are horrendous. I like the independent candidate myself but nowadays they have little chance.

It's not for me to cut the BNP some slack. They are the ones who have to prove themselves.

Major, I couldn\'t agree more. I warned my old slavery partner, Woofington Griffin, that this kind of filthy backchat would happen from the lower classes if they were to get the vote. His kind and their filthy Tilbury language have no place in polite society.

Oh I see Aamir. You regard what is going on now as a revenge of some sort for British colonialism. I wonder if you think the peoples who have been victimised by Muslim colonialism and slavery in North Africa, "Turkey" and elsewhere should also get revenge. After all by your logic the Palestinians deserve what is happening to them now because of what their ancestors did conquering the region in the first place.</b>
