Most Black and Asian Brits I know think that immigration is out of control and will lead to a whole heap of trouble.

They're right .

I was chatting to one of the chaps who runs our local shop. Family run concern and i have known them for 10+ years.The shop isrun by good, decent caring people, the sort of people who, when i had a bad back and could hardly walk got a list of my requirements and got it all ready for me and put it in the car to save me the pain.
I was admiring his newly boarded up window and chatting to him explaining i am off to Dubai to work, will not be about for some time, etc. He said he felt the UK had had it, it had been going down hill for some time. He said he had thought about emmigrating as well. He had just got back from visiting family and friends back in India.

I went for a bike ride in a park a few miles from me last night.

There were some kids trying to break into an abandonded hut, and one of them commented to his mate - "That looks like your old bike, should we get it".

This was 13ish year old white British kids. It's not just immigration that's sending this country down the toilet!

As for the would be bike thieves I just laughed and asked how well it had fitted him

I had to select "other" as my BNP Lite party does not exist yet, more's the pity. Wog bashing isn't my thing, hence not really wanting to vote BNP, but some of their policies I do agree with, and as I've said before, a Lite version could be a party to get the country back on it's feet and deal with the issues many of us "discuss" on here every day.

If voting for the BNP makes me a racist, then fine, I'm a racist. Most probably think I am anyway from previously voiced opinions.

...what about the tories economic policies. We had George Osborne in last week (I work in a city bank), and he basically said they didn't have any clear policies yet, and he'd welcome any suggestions! He really said it.

He was a very nice chap though, but couldn't imagine him or Cameron standing up for Britain in EU.

If you guys think that the BNP have either the intellect, talent or wit to run the economic/foriegn/defence/pensions/health/education policies of this country you must be off your ****!

What I'd really be interested to know though is how many of the people who intend to vote BNP are ex NL voters. That would suggest a radical swing in political beliefs from (so called) socialists to extreme right wing, and suggest they are quite dim and never understood what they were voting for.
When the Tories played up the immigration issue during the last election, why did they lose so badly? Maybe the NL to BNP voters should have got their ***** in gear then and voted Conservative and then we could have had tough immigration and a reversal of PCness but without racist goose stepping thugs doing it.

Any NL to BNP voters must be stupid easily led sheep

We have a system that supports the unemployed and in some cases does not encourage people off of the dole and back to work, this is unsusutainable and wrong, getting these people back to work is a priority over importing migrant workers.

Exactly. Get the workshy to do the boring jobs. Force them to do it by cutting off welfare support. People who say "I can't get a job" are usually incorrect. They cannot get a job they'd like to do, there are plenty of jobs out there, it's whether people are willing to them, and for menial jobs, many don't and would rather live on welfare, that needs to stop.

Deep,

Surely SN has always been a Tory outpost, so wouldn't the swing in this poll be from Tory to BNP in then?

Intestesting all the same.

This country has voted to allow John Prescott into the government 3 times. the track record of voting based on the intellact, talent and wit of the politicians is pretty low

Unemployment benefit is approx £50 per week for a young single guy. I can get someone a job for 17K per annum,no skills needed. We still cant get decent workers. Its not just the benefit system,its more complicated than that. Polish,Latvian,Estonian and Czech workers have a sense of purpose and a hope for the future that some Uk workers don't.

Their manifesto is a bucn of bollocks. Its aimed purely at the racist and simple minded man. It takes alot more to run a country than just sticking loads of people in jail etc. Its like whena person thinks all a plumber does is fix leaks and installs pipes.

Also it all very nice to promise all these wonderful things but how are they gonna pay for it all? And if it was so easy why couldnt genrerations of other proffessionals not manage yet these scum can?

These people work for us we pay their wages, yet they think we are fools so they do as they wish. As all the smears came out to-day, I'm not happy for some Fat B%$*%$d to tell me what I can and cannot do, and does as he bloody pleases. What can I do (Vote) but next bunch will be the same.

Unemployment benefit is approx £50 per week
But not if you take into account every other benefit that is increased, tax credit or simple tax reduction that being unemployed etc entitles you too.

I know of one couple. Both earning at or around min wage. She has a baby and stops work. They are significantly better off courtesy of the tax payer. Their income isnt simply maintained it is significantly increased.

The perception of a basic living these days is amazing. Not having Sky at £40/month is seen as "hardship".

You forgot to add in that not being able to smoke, go out to the pub at least once during the week, and at the weekend, are also considered hardships.
