[caminito]

A town just three miles from the scene of major race riots is set to become the first in the UK to have a BNP member as its mayor.

Councillors have voted overwhelmingly for John Cave to take over as civic leader of Padiham, Lancashire.

It was only a matter of time and as the politics of this country continue to deterate in all parties it is only a matter of time before the minority parties (even the undesirable ones) start picking up seats.

In the last election the Conservatives could have formed a government if they had got into bed with all the ulster and Northern Ireland minority parties.

and do you think that would have been a good thing?

[Chrisjay]

Oh no what I was saying, obviously badly, is we are in danger of having the government propped up by minority undesirable parties and being 'blackmailed' into delivering their manifesto as part of the deal if we continue along the road of coalition governments who do deals to form the government

[David G]

Even more worrying, some councils have a Labour party member as mayor.

[avalonmpk2]

Yes David G It is nice that they do have a sense of humour up their! Bye the way what is a labour mayor?

[Chrisjay]

I thought mayors were supposed to be politically impartial ?

You would need to have lived (or worked, as I did) in the Padiham / Burnley areas to understand this to any meaningful degree.
I'm amazed it's taken so long!!

If I lived in Luton, Birmingham, various parts of London, Leeds, Watford, etc., etc., too many to name, I would be very happy to have a BNP Mayor, who hopefully would speak up for us indigenous Brits, as not many others have to courage to do so.

It's all very well giving hostile opinions on the BNP if you live in a niche which still hangs on to the remnants of what the UK used to be, but if you live in the middle of Luton you would perhaps feel differently.

Why does the mention of the BNP Party send some people running for the smelling salts? Apart from UKIP, it is the only party which has the nerve to speak up for us Brits.

The BNP is NOT the National Front, it is completely different, but a lot of people fall for, and believe without question, the propoganda put out by the press and, of course, the totally extreme left BBC.

Things move on, and the BNP has a lot of sensible, valid people involved these days and they function for the British, who often seem thoroughly undermined these days.

The problem is that most academic left-wing commentators live in areas such as Hampstead Garden Suburb!

I worked in Luton briefly during the 1990's, and it was a scary enough place even then.   There are areas that taxi drivers refuse to drive into.
I also worked in St Albans for several years, and nearly all the taxi drivers in that town were Muslim, when I asked why, I was told that the office that supplied new taxi driving licences would only give them to Muslims.

I worked in Southall in the 60's and watched the change to an Asian town .
About 8 years ago , I walked though Brent on my way to Wembley Arena to see a boxing match.
Brent was ALL Muslim , Shops ,Taxis , restaurants etc.
What upset me and lingers in my mind ,was the stares of loathing I got from every Muslim
I was not misreading the  looks that I got. They did not want me there. I was not welcome !

So ,yesterday when "call me Dave " made his speech , my thoughts were ,  "about bloody time someone said something!
Vince Cable and his band of liberals should be packed off to Pakistan to live with them . As he lives in the leafy surburb of Twickenham, Whitton, St Margarets, Strawberry Hill, Teddington and the Hamptons ,he has no idea how some  places have changed to the detriment of the local indigenous  population.
In my view there is a racial problem in the UK and it seems to stem from the muslim immigrants. They don't like us and our way of life .
They prefer Sharia Law and do not respect our beliefs. They do not want to integrate , so multiculturalism is and always has been a daft idea.
This has now been acknowledged by the governments of various european countries.
It's a bit like "bolting the stable door after the horse has bolted "
It suited them to come to the UK because they could claim numerous benefits as soon as they set foot here. Courtesy of the long suffering taxpayer.  All this money could have been used to give the pensioners a decent income !

Yes , I have strong feelings about the way the Brits have been treated by government ,past and present but particularly by the Blair /Brown
administration .

I got a similar feeling when I was in Luton. I watched an elderly white lady walking by the shops there and she looked totally out of place, completely overwhelmed. The previous government will not acknowledge the harm they have done our once great country with the financial mess they got us into and will surely never apologise for the massive influx of migrants. It is all so sad. My latest expression is thank God I have got less to do than I have already done.

A goodmany years ago I went to Harrogate to a printing trades exhibition and on the way back we had to drive through Bradford and my black colleague who was from St Kitts said is this what English people used to be like, referring to the very large number of Asians living there at the time - I'm told it is even worse now - Stop all immigration for a period of two years and see what happens!

[Deetta]

Caminito, your posting is so true, how refreshing it is to read it.    At last the attitude in the UK is beginning to change, when I used to talk about the immigration problems some years ago to Brits, they used to say I was rascist.

Even some of the older immigrants who arrived here decades ago say there are too many immigrants being allowed in, so what does that tell us...

And I don't recall any UK government asking us Brits (whose country it is anyway) if we wanted to let all these people in.  It was just assumed we would go along with it.
