long story short, the BNP are a far right party mostly focusing on asylum, immigration etc...

THEY ARE A GENUINE PARTY, even if it is full of thugs and the reason they're getting a broadcast is because they've got runners in all 7 constituencies for these up coming elections in Scotland.

The scenes they were asked to remove were one reffering to a group of 5 Asians who killed a 15 year old white boy from Glasgow (you might remember me talkign about this) basically sayign if it had been 5 white guys that done it to a black guy it would have beena completely different story (which i actually agree with)

and one about a girl who was drugged and gang raped by a gang of Asians I think.


Fair enough it's pretty lowball stuff, but it HAS happened and as I said, if anythign it just makes them look more desperate than anythign whereas makign them cut it portrays them as the victims.

Sounds like they weren't edited cause they exceded time limits or anything like that.

What are their policies exactly?? Two years ago there was a big uproar here because a rightwing politician was gaining a lot of popularity mainly about his thoughts on asylum, unfortunately he was murdered, but that's besides the point. Anyway, what do the BNP stand for? Are they just like Neo-Nazis or is there some truth to what they say??

Such rules make sure that every one has the same chance to express and explain their ideas and projects. Equality is fundamental for democracy.

It's a rule in France, and probably in the UK too, that political commercials must not exceed a certain length. Parties such as BNP in England or FN in France are capable of voluntarilly making to long commercials so that campaign controling organisations make them edit their spots. Later they'll act like they are being censored and made victims of a political conspiration against them, when in fact they're just being asked to play by the rules that actually give them the same chance as everyone else.

Ponrauil
Yeah, I guess you're right. I wonder how much good evening the field does though, do any of the fringe parties ever make it very far?

as I said I dont support them and do think they're a joke for the most part but saying 5 black or asian guys murdering a white guy is alot different to 5 white guys murdering a black or asian guy is totally true.
