The Political Parties Are Really Starting to Cheese Me Off Now!

For their lack of will to take on the BNP in a serious political debate that translates into an understandable framework for Joe-public to understand. The BNP is gaining ground in certain areas of the UK, where the likes of Labour and co have lost ground. As it is the labour government's immigration system is a complete shambles.

I don't mind immigration as it's a natural human trait to move to places where there are better sources of food and money.

My fear is that the BNP will cause and exploit problems with the many varied ethnic community's that make up the UK. They could for example worsen the situation with Muslims and lead to more home grown terrorism. Rational debate is needed on the whole issue of immigration to the UK.

It's been shrouded under the cloak of Political correctness for too long and has allowed the BNP to gain ground that the major parties used to occupy.

The BNP's latest tactic to gain respectability is to recruit middle class English people. Like the ballerina Simone Clarke.

Of course the fuss caused will just generate more publicity for the BNP. I'm just extremely frustrated with the Labour government and the Tories for not addressing the issue properly, but instead just like to score cheap party political points over the issue. David Cameron may have something to offer on the issue, but if it contains any substance will be a different matter, as he has to appease his Party on issues like this. Even if he does cover it up in a bit of fluffy spin to make the Tories look united and not divided.

Fools rush in....
If the major parties can't or won't address the issue of immigration being out of hand, then voters may turn to the BNP, despite its bigoted history. Not only is immigration out of control, but one immigrant group--radical islamists--are virtually in open rebellion against the gov't.

And this is the mistake people make with immigration. If you decide all muslim immigrants are terrorists and not the minority then you breed the contempt towards a government that can lead to the growth of home grown terrorism. If you marginalise a group of people some will react in a violent way.
Yes Immigration is out of control, but labelling immigrants as work shy layabouts or terrorists will not help matters. A logical and reasoned debate is needed on the issue. One which sets out the facts, not the bigoted views of people who are members of the BNP and those Islamic radicals who want to set up an Islamic state in the UK.

However, the way to handle Islamic Radicals is to deport them. Which is what Labor and Conservatives are not doing. Do you agree?
