I love how sure of your positions you all are - how the immigration debate has been so neatly bound to racism in its absolute form. Don't you, upon dear life, dare question the legitimacy (both accepted and implied) of Britain's great experiment with immigration over the last 50 years (oh yes, of course, we've always been an 'immigrant country', how churlish of me to ignore multiple thousand years of immigration, eh? - except it's not. It never was - we've had a handful of 'major waves' of immigration, the sum of which don't even begin to shadow the meagrest fraction of a contemporary years' allowance).
Personally, I think the immigration debate (or lack thereof) has been hijacked by over-earnest idealists and money men, who couldn't give two figs about the morality of the debate. They're only interested in pushing their own agendas - in bullying people who don't share their opinion and in maintaining lower wages, respectively.
Me? I think there are already too many people on this little island of ours, so I want an end to mass immigration. End of. I don't see how it benefits Britons themselves, and I don't see how they were ever given a voice in what is, one of the biggest questions any society should ask itself. The recently announced projections of 71m citizens in the near future terrifies me, frankly - I really, really, really don't see how sustaining so many human consumers is in our interest. Really. Population size is the rather large elephant in the room where the environment is concerned.
Oh, and as for the original question - I don't like the BNP, as they appear to be mostly filled with thugs, goons and morons - but, rightly or wrongly, they were voted in as part of the democratic process and should be allowed to have their say.
Personally, I'm curious to see how much of a societal debate it actually encourages, if any.
