It's funny how you bunch of nutters are willing to allow millions of foriegn workers into the UK at the expense of Brits....but ban a legitimate mp leader from Holland....Geert Wilders.
This is going to back fire in a big way. Expect a big rise in BNP membership...in fact there has been a flood of new members today...

or both !

Rich, why not just come out with it? You don't have any credibility here, so why don't you just admit it. Are you an officer of the BNP, just a member or merely associate with officers of it?

Maybe you spend the time to watch "Fitna" and then consider what Britain would be like if Islamic extremism gets its way.
No freedom, no gays, no jews....sounds like Hitler to me.

I watched the Fitna video a couple of days ago and to be honest I can't see the problem. It is just an honest account of recent events.
This video can be viewed on youtube and many other media websites, so why is it that we are willing to stop a dutch mp travelling to the UK.
The video is shocking but it is not offensive and simply gives one side of the argument and does it in a truthful manner which is a lot more than you can say about some of the Islamic preachers in the UK today.
It doesn't make me want to go out and start abusing muslims. What it tells me is that there is a small minority but sizeable number of Islamic nutters out there wanting to destroy our way of life. Unfortunately a lot of them now live in the UK, some of them even have links with members of parliament.
I'm not at all bothered by the fact that the UK is home to a host of culures and religions. What bothers me though is that we appear to be afraid to question certain cultural differences. We should only accept these differences if they fall within our cultural framework. For example tolerance of sexual differences and equal rights for women and men...just two examples.
You could argue that other religions seek to undermine tolerance, but I feel Islam is far more guilty of influencing its followers. The use of violence and threats from preachers of hate being just one example. Preachers telling men that it is ok to beat women and children is not acceptable and is illegal.
I travel to the Nedlerlands monthly and in my experience it is a place of tolerance and diversity. But this is being threatened by the recent growth of Islamic extremism. Unless we want to return to religion dictating what we can and can't do then I think we should seriously question how much of Islam we are willing to accept.
This is what Geert Wilders is trying to do. Open a debate but your leader doesn't want a debate. Deny people the opportunity to debate this issue and you will only drive more support to the only party willing to challenge the system.

"there is a small minority but sizeable number of" [Fundamental Christians/Roman Catholics/Nation of Islam/Orthodox Jews/Zionists/fascist/communist/Islamic] "nutters out there wanting to destroy our way of life. ... a lot of them live in the UK, some of them even have links with members of parliament."
Good. I'm glad our MPs have links with and knowledge of the diversity of political and religious views in the world and in our cultural framework. They would be a very dull and sterile bunch of people otherwise.
If the BNP had power in this country, can you imagine how long and comprehensive the list of banned people would be? It beggars belief.
(I'd worry about leaving the country - I'd probably not be allowed back in again).
