DJ, I know that you and I have personally been through this discussion in another thread, and as much as I'd hate to get into it again I can't stand watching you spout the BNP's rubbish in defence of a blatantly malicious and racist group.
Without adressing any of the points brought up in this thread (I don't really have alot of energy for debating at the moment), I will ask you one very simple question:
Does it really not seem odd to you that the BNP seem overly-occupied with the goings-on and negativities - correct or incorrect as they may be - of different race groups and cultures without actually addressing any of the problems created by our own western culture and the native (I hate using that word, but it's the only simple way to communicate what I mean) population?
Let me use an example to highlight what I mean.
An article taken from the BNP homepage:
http://bnp.org.uk/groups/the-burka-and-the-nhs
For those of you who are too lazy to read, the article outlines how the Muslim practice of covering wome head-to-toe creates incidences of Vitamin D defficiency, and therefore an unecessary cost for treatment on the NHS.
And now more figures and articles for your viewing pleasure

The point I'm trying to make is that there is absolutely no reason for the BNP to focus on Muslim practices in relation to the NHS without first focusing on much more costly issues such as binge drinking, smoking and obesity - all of which cost much more to the NHS in comparison, and all of which are a result of our very own culture. The only possible reason that the BNP focus on an article such as that is because they are an inherintly racist group who have set out to degrade and reject other cultures from the off-set, without tackling any important issues that are in dire need of attention.
Good for the UK?
Most certainly NOT.
