Being in the Army, coming out with a fine, always paid pension, a ready made job waiting for you has sheltered you from the realities of the real world (and perhaps still does). Please reject my blog comment.

We couldn't all run off and join the army, could we? Some of us fought Thatcherism, rather than running away and hiding in the barrack-room waiting to be strike breakers if the government wanted it.<BR/><BR/>The BNP is the bastard child of Labour party realignment and "new realism" i.e. the old boring traditional working class of Glamorgan Road, Brecon Close and Wherstead Road count for little compared to the Valley Road, Bixley Road and the IT classes. For the Labour Party base - blue collar , working class, whatever - there is the minimum wage, working family tax credit and ever ending rent rises. On top of that the Labour Party has continuously fawned, grovelled and scraped to immigrants, with the latest offering of knee bobbing being increased payments to polygamist hook handed bomber psychopaths.<BR/><BR/>Whether the BNP is right or as I believe wrong, the BNP doesn't spring from a vacuum. If you bothered to talk to the voters (not just the middle class self haters) you would find that they feel - and in a democracy feelings count a lot - that the Labour party doesnt give a tinkers cuss about them. <BR/><BR/>Before you get all in a tizzy about the BNP, you should ask why the people who voted in their millions throughout the eighties for Kinnock and Co. completely against the tide of the time are suddenly thinking of switching to Griffin.<BR/><BR/>Weren't your parents the opticians in Arcade St?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630225480713006589.post-19451764187522567262007-10-26T14:49:00.000+00:002007-10-26T14:49:00.000+00:00nice one pointing out "blue" bin! a double entendr...nice one pointing out "blue" bin! a double entendre! disposing of facists and helping the environment!
