The BNP - what a bunch of crooks

[kinkajou2]

When they got 2 of their members elected to the Euro Parliament
instead of a feeling of achievement and validation - they saw it as
an opportunity to fill their boots with cash!!Surely they are finished
as a Party now!

Are the BNP and EDL mates?Do they work together for a common goal?

[anotheoldgit]

That is most interesting, the questioner entered a thread, calling the BNP a bunch of crooks, but leaving it to someone else to provide a link to the story.

Having read the link we find that they are only accused of fraud, and they haven't yet been found guilty in a court of law.

Throughout the answers most found the BBC to be the villains of the piece, now this is what find interesting on an usual Left bias web site such as AB.

The examples of BBC employees you cite are interesting, but I have to admit I'm fairly sceptical, so I'd really like to check out the video you mentioned and some of your sources for myself, if you wouldn't mind. If you're worried about posting it here for whatever reason, please feel free to send it to my hotmail:

-@aog - it was laughable when the BNP gave the address of their offices
to the Euro Parliament as somewhere in Cumbria - and!!! - hahahaha!! -
no seriously- hahahaha - it turned out to be a unit on an industrial estate
- could things look sh1ttier?? - oh yeah - they ran the electric cables
through to the business next door- and posted the bill to us!!

The BNP and all the far right parties are nothing than a bunch of thugs in suits.

[emmie]

and the far left are a bunch of unwashed thugs in tatty combats, if you want to play that stupid game of name calling. As to the BBC, it's a bloated organisation that has thrown public money around like confetti, and it's not value for money, and as someone has already pointed out, you have no choice but to pay the licence fee.

Thanks DF - will take a look this evening.

Note how those who sympathise with racists like the BNP, rather than stand up and say so, cravenly turn the thread around to attacking their favourite "lefty" Aunt Sally the BBC (which over the decades has regularly been accused of political bias by both Labour and Tories). The BBC has its faults, but it's usually those with no real interest in TV who call for its, or at least the licence fee's, abolition. But perhaps that should be discussed in a BBC thread.

Regardless of whether it's been corrupt in any way, the BNP is founded on attitudes of ignorance and prejudice, and will wither and shrivel until it's of little significance to anyone other than a handful of hard-core bigots.

Backdrifter, that whole post is founded on an attitude of ignorance and prejudice, not to mention petty insinuation. I have never supported the BNP, nor would I, in fact I find all politicians to be fairly repugnant but, in good old socialist tradition, you've used smear as the point of defence/attack. I do not like the BBC so, by virtue of your opening paragraph, I must be a craven BNP supporter and a hard-core bigot; very reminiscent of anyone wanting to discuss immigration immediately being branded a racist. Sorry pal, wrong guy!

I may or may not have an interest in TV, and it's certainly a waning interest given the proliferation of reality TV these days, but I pay my licence fee and am therefore entitled to have an opinion on the BBC without being lumped in with racists and lunatics by the likes of you. so please think again. One of my primary job functions is equality and diversity, as well as tackling anti-bullying and racism, but I will express my opinion without the derogatory insinuations if you don't mind.

Incidentally, anyone who thinks that Top Gear is a reason for the perpetuation of the licence fee should be frontally lobotomised. If I want to hear boorish ignorant men discuss things then I will walk the 300 yards to my local pub.

you don't know how wrong you are

[venator]

This post was about the BNP, wasn't it?

If people want to discuss the BBC, there have been plenty of other posts around.

-------------------------------

I think the BNP is doing a valuable public service by showing people that the EU is a self serving gravy train.

The Commission has been sacked twice for wholesale fraud, hasn't it?

Its auditors have never signed off the accounts because they can't find out where the money goes, or am I missing something.

----------------------------------

I know the thread was about the BNP, not the BBC or the EU, but that's Answerbank for you!

[DrFilth]

venator the bnp made a video of the bbc and put out a list of the bbc thugs then the bbc put this story out on the bnp fiddling

[Electrochem]

Not name calling em10, simply a factual statement.

[Kromovaracun]

Just thought I'd say (for the sake of those like me who may have been sceptical) I've checked the link DF sent me and followed up some of the names mentioned in it/by him. I have to be completely honest, I wasn't really expecting these to turn out true and would almost certainly have come back pointing it out if they hadn't. But they do, so I feel I ought to say so, really. Interestingly, you can find the BBC itself reporting on each of the cases mentioned.

James Raven: http://news.bbc.co.uk...anchester/3577614.stm

Ashley Blake: http://news.bbc.co.uk..._midlands/8233020.stm

Laurence Westgaph: http://news.bbc.co.uk...erseyside/8238879.stm

There were some other names mentioned in the link but the person saying them was being spoken over a fair bit so I couldn't make them out. Obviously what isn't clear is whether these cases genuinely do reflect on the BBC - a matter for further debate it would seem!

So that is confirmed. 3 bad ones out of a workforce of 26,000

[DrFilth]
