"Paul Heslop" wrote in message ... I found a less biased shot, one that shows him in a kinder and more realistic setting It would be rather nice to see Griffin sue you for libel. According the BBC, the major parties are starting to get rattled by the surge in popular support for the BNP - who took 17% of the general election vote, in some cases. The British working class are, of course, not supposed to think for themselves, nor are they allowed to support a party that represents their interests. However, it is precisely the sort of smear campaign exemplified by your photo, and by the politically motivated prosecution of BNP members, that is making the BNP attractive to people tired of being treated like acquiescent cattle by the media and mainstream political parties. |

Right. So the BNP doesn't have links to the National Alliance, the French National Front, or the NPD in Germany. And Nick Griffin didn't say a couple of years ago "My politics have not changed. I still believe in fighting for this" while pointing at his white skin. |

Oh dear, I'm shaking. Even if he were that stupid, would that make him any better than the 'politically motivated prosecution of BNP members" you spout about later? Yes, I can see it, "Right Wing party tries to stop bloke on the street from having a view" According the BBC, the major parties are starting to get rattled by the surge in popular support for the BNP - who took 17% of the general election vote, in some cases. I've heard this, and what does it prove? That the main parties are crap? You won't get an argument from me there. The British working class are, of course, not supposed to think for themselves, nor are they allowed to support a party that represents their interests. However, it is precisely the sort of smear campaign exemplified by your photo, and by the politically motivated prosecution of BNP members, that is making the BNP attractive to people tired of being treated like acquiescent cattle by the media and mainstream political parties. ********. People are being spoon-fed all sorts of crap by the press, only for it to backfire in a big way because the kind of ******** they spout is on a par with the right wing extremists. People are now confused and can only see extremes, and there we have Nick and co. Rest assured that, come the time, most people will just carry on voting for the Tories, or New Labour as they are now known. -- Paul (Take my hand, I'm standing right here) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

I still believe in fighting for this" while pointing at his white skin. From Wikipedia "In accordance with its stated goal to establish a racially and culturally homogenous Britain, the BNP advocates the use of "firm but voluntary incentives" to remove non-white ethnic minorities from the UK and also bars non-whites from becoming party members. The BNP rejects that it is racist, claiming that it is merely standing up for the white British working-class. The party believes that racism is a part of human nature and describes its supporters as "realists", not racists" Just about says it all. -- Paul (Take my hand, I'm standing right here) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

news "Cheesehead" wrote in message oups.com... Composition is big -- framing as well as lighting -- in order to convey ideas about a person. Per the re-braodcast on PBS yesterday, when Billy Graham first went to London the press was extremely hostile, Why? Is the UK press really so clueless? Graham used to be seen a lot here in the U.S. press, until he started speaking against Reagan's arms buildup during the 1980's. For that he was essentially banished from major press coverage. I have a lot of respect for the man even though I don't share many of his religious beliefs. If there's one thing that cannot be pinned on Billy Graham it's the fact that he is no huckster. He tuned his minostry over to a board that he answers to and started an organization that monitors the finances of ministries in order to ensure that there is nothing unethical going on. He earns a salary from the ministry. He never earned one penny from the millions of copies of his books that were and continue to be sold - he wrote them as an employee of the ministry. |
