A million people voted for the BNP, probably mostly from what are still called working-class areas, where the reality is stronger than the perception that they are getting shafted by a government (strangely, what once was a left-leaning one, but is now just more uni-educated suits) which is not hearing its voice. There should be action, not just statistics, over unchecked and reckless immigration, over the strong possibilities of nepotism ensuring that 'certain' people get into the country willy-nilly, and there should be action, not just 'concerns' over issues such as a government only too anxious to go fight other people's wars on the backs of lies and falsehoods, which are perpetuated today. For example, there's no risk to Britain from the disparate and usually self-savaging tribes which loosely comprise 'the Taliban', while Al-Queda does have internal cells and its wilder mullahs have been allowed to preach whatever hatred they wanted, under the complacent nonsense that they were 'being watched'. If it's by the type of watchers who observed a young Brazilian and decided he was an Asian terrorist, then God help us.
The thing is, the BNP, for all of its underlying xeno-, homo-, and virtually any other phobia, is the only party which has heard a large swathe of the British population and responded with messages which are not all entirely mad. Of course there should be a limit to unbridled immigration - skills we want should be welcomed, what we don't need shouldn't. Of course incomers should be able to provide for themselves and their families for at least a couple of years while they establish themselves - not go with their begging-cup straight to the nearest benefits office. Other countries demand they bring the right skills and enough money on which to start up - we don't. Of course the Home Office shouldn't lose thousands of so-called asylum seekers, millions of national identity programmes, and there shouldn't be tens of thousands of visa overstayers and illegal workers in the country. But there is little real action in response to any of the major governmental or civil service balls-ups which have occurred during Labour's endless governance. The answer seems to be to wait until someone reluctantly resigns, if it happens at all.
People are fed up with cronyism, with jobs for the boys at all levels of civil service - within local government, at council level, and so on, and they're sick to death of a country obsessed with absurd and pointless 'quotas' based on racial or sexual identity, too. But only the BNP has seriously rounded on these absurdities - although seen through their glowing red eyes of a hatred of non-straights and non-whites, it's true - and said that enough's enough. Merit should win the job, not because you're the transgender cousin of a mixed-race Buddhist, and therefore help tick three boxes of 'equality' in one position.
If nobody gets to grips with what ails the UK soon, it's very likely that the BNP will continue to win votes - not because all of the voters are neo-Fascists, but because they feel that it's the only party who isn't treating their concerns as if they are. It's time for all other parties, from the largest to the tiniest, to wake up.
