Ben.

Your summation and analysis of the current situation in Britain is really excellent, and sensibly considered. The only thing I would disagree with you on is the situation regarding our present political masters. You contradict yourself, when you say many are ex. communists, and seeking to foist a failed system on the public of Britain. They are still communists at heart, and that is why they are still, and successfully for the moment foisting their views on the public. They seem to have learned nothing from real comunism, least of all that it is a failed ideology.

The phrase 'my mind is made up, so don't bother me with facts' springs to mind. It is really disturbing that Mr. Blair found it necessary to reinvent the Labour party, and got people (albeit a minority) to vote for him and his so called ideals. What was wrong with old labour that it had to be reinvented? People even now do not seem to be able to grasp that. Better to fail according to your ideals, than shamelessly lie about them in order to get elected to power.

Yes, the BNP are the way forward in the present political mess, of half policies, ill thought out solutions, and plain, we want to be in power, practiced by the 'big three' What the future holds when and if the BNP succeed, is to say the least worrisome. Poor Britain.
