Maybe buffalo soldier is more appropriate for the phenomenon that is Obama.

There is nothing wrong with principled opposition to the Human Rights Act. It is Tory policy to review the Act if they are elected. The BNP’s use of HR provisions is nothing more than a convenient tactical ploy. I don’t see any need for this article.

Just pointing out that self-righteous technocratic ‘euro-christo-centric universalism’ was not his flavour of virtue.

So when you’re listening to “Get Up Stand Up” by Saint Bob, you’re thinking “hmmmmm, Maududi-ism, denial of rights for non-muslim indigenous tribals in Bengal, death to Ahmadiyya heretics and British Appeasers, Yes to Denial of genocide of Bengalis in 1971 and up with the Jamaatis and Hizbies!. Stand up for your rights. Yeah!”.

Not sure how close this is to Marley’s sentiments either.

suppose its tmepting, but its got imprints of the two following comments on pissed off groups.

‘Look at those cavemen killers, despising modernity yet using its tools, guffaw.’

or the baiting of anti globalisation protesters
‘how did you get here? oh you came on cheap airflights and didnt walk here in your sandals… har-har you hypocrites you have no point to prove save for your smelliness’

or the antiwar protesters carrying globalised coffee cups while they walked.

I wonder if geosocioeconomic analysis of the BNP postcodes will reveal a ‘white working class’ answer to the questions, or a white-ghetto relation or bad ethnic experience…

As everybody knows, England never had any “Human Rights” before the Labour Regime signed us up to it, right?.

Not sure if Bob had the same conception of rights as you do. His would include matters and priorities which yours do not because you are coming from somewhere else.

fugstar’s a takfiri Rastafarian as well. who knew?

When people quote the old ‘first they come for…’ line they forget who’s coming for who.

Fug @ 4: “ironic cheering, though amusing, is not particularly valuable. Its just vainglory”

Hmm, you are probably right. But it had to be done.

Surely it’s the data protection laws that should be used to attack the idiot who leaked the BNP membership list instead of the human rights act?

I defended the BNP this morning on my blog because disliking the BNP is no excuse for supporting a data breach on this scale. Imagine what the reaction from the government would be if Labour Party membership lists were published online.

On the BNP case, i think its pragmatics. They would use any law to protect themselves when threatened in this way. It is not particularly unbritish strategy.

ironic cheering, though amusing, is not particularly valueable. its just vainglory.

Did you see Stuart Pearce’s (the footballer) brother on the news last night, saying:

“This is like living in a fascist state”!

Oh! You’ve got to love the irony of this.

Martin Niemöller:

“In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up.”

Suppose you could insert, “And then they came for the BNP, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t BNP” in there somewhere….

Can we expect the BNP to stand up for the HRA next time around?

Somehow, I doubt it. Shower of idiots.

What is amusing about this is that it will probably kill them stone dead. Through humour.
