"Union officials pointed to a poll by BBC2's Newsnight – showing that
twice as many people sympathised with the postal workers than with
Royal Mail management – as evidence of public support. The CWU said the
strike had been "solidly supported" on both days"

The CWU can fuck right off...not for supporting the Glorified Paperboys, no. They can fuck right off for not doing enough for the people that pay into their union so things like this can be battled for properly. I mean they're still getting paid whilst Royal Mail staff picket and protest and probably couldn't give two fucks about the men and women on the bread line losing a few days pay.

Fucking Labour again show nothing but disdain for the "real people" who put them into power and then wonder why the North of England is turning to the BNP. It just goes to show yet again that this country really is made up of London and the rest of the country, and the further North you get, the more you can fuck right off. Replace British with Londoner and their policies may as well just follow Nick Griffin entirely... it's not like the anti Fascist protesters will see the irony, right?

Digression aside, I read the following 'article' on the BBC website entitled 'Why exactly do people vote for the BNP?' (journalistic neutrality arguement anyone?) and couldn't help find a remarkable similarity to thoughts on the Royal Mail strike debate. He rips the BNP quotes apart, but at the same time it kind of felt like he is completely blind to the plight of the 'real workers' in this country and can't quite see that his arguement actually supports the reasons why people are voting for them.

"The indigenous people have been stripped of their freedoms and rights, like a right to a job," says Mr Bailey.

Does
anyone have a right to a job? Surely people have to stand on their own
two feet? Isn't that the argument of all the mainstream parties -
equipping people for the realities of the modern world? And haven't British citizens been going to work abroad for as long as migrant workers have been coming here?

The last point is utter, utter bollocks. British citizens going abroad is about taking their skillsets to a country where they are more appreciated than they are here to earn more money and pay less tax. Vice versa its about replacing one job, migrate worker or not, and getting it done as cheaply as possible. When you have built your entire life up somewhere to be told that you can either take a pay cut and do more work or you're out of a job, you can see why some people might have some disdain for the person who replaced them, immigrant or not.

"Lab-Lib-Con-trick. What's the point of employing British people if you
can employ some foreigner for half the price?" he responds. But isn't
that the responsibility of the employer rather than the worker?

Precisely. And for the posties, their employer is the Government. They seem particularly unwilling to help the hard working (sic) post men and women out, yet can stump up billions of tax payers money to bail out the gambling cunts at banks based in their 'country' to "save our economy" (read: ensure their friends and business buddies can keep swanning around in private jets and enjoy their hookers and coke parties).

We're sitting in a McDonald's as he says this. The woman who served us
was a headscarf-wearing young Muslim with a sharp East End "innit" at
the end of her sentences.

Anyone that does that should be dragged into the street and shot, Muslim or not.

To my left, as we talk, there's a white family. The late-teens girl is
sitting with her mum and a boy who is black. There's another obviously
mixed-race couple smooching and sharing an iPod. All of these people
seem to be getting on just fine.

Getting on just fine? They're in a fucking McDonalds, not on the Gaza Strip, you bell end.

"They can be civically British, with a passport, but they're not
ethnically British. Let's face it, it's the look-test," he says.

What he wanted to say here was "if a dog is born in a stable, does that make it a fucking horse?". If they could get away with it, this would be the BNP slogan.

He ends the article by saying "Doesn't all of this prove their critics' point that the BNP is simply
not a normal political party - and it has no right to be on Question
Time?".

No, no it fucking doesn't... and if you really believe that you should fucking quit your job as a journalist now.

The BBC yet again shows no editorial integrity and goes beyond its funded purpose of a neutral and unbiased factual based organisation. Like it or not, the BNP are entitled to their opinions just like everyone else in this country is. The BBC should not be suppressing any political view, no matter how extreme it is, and stick to reporting the facts.

If these are the true colours of their Magazine, it should be shut down and definitely not paid for by that stealth tax they call the TV Licence. The big bunch of cunts.
