If you're not aware I'm from the North of England, and if you're also not aware we're turning into a region full of fascists.

The BNP (British National Party) - Which despite the BNP being it's own organization offers both elected candidates from the National Front - have won a seat in The North. The reactions are fairly mixed, whilst some are hurling street parties and others are protesting, there's still no other way to describe this;
The North of England is now a place divided. Some may want to smash the faces of Polish workers whilst other may want to invite them in for a cuppa.

This is a huge deal, and quite frankly every Northerner ought to be weary of what's to come.
I see mass riots occurring with the same brutality as what was once demonstrated at Strangeways, I can smell the fear of Pakistani and Indian shop-owners as they begin to close their shutters at night.
All in all I can see 'This Is England' but the contradiction of quotes from the Specials.

Either way, we've got to stop this before we're cloned with underlip mustaches, and made to speak no other language.

There's a difference between racism and immigration laws, this can be sorted out without having to resort to Nick Griffin.

Johnny Marr top bloke.One of the best,most original guitarist that ever lived.God bless him.

Ok, BNP got a few seats but is it such a big deal? All politics is a propagandist game, no party is innocent. Left or right. If people in the North-West of England chose to vote BNP then that's their view. There's nothing you can do about it now - BNP are through.

It really depends on where you live in the UK. I doubt BNP got many votes in London. In theory it's the same thing as it was with Obama US election: Many parts of the US totally opposed to Obama. Yet he became the President of US.

That's politics for you. It's all propaganda. Politicians have the easiest job in the world: Absolutely no personal responsibility or accountability, all expenses paid. It is a secret society of the priviledged few. AND please don't tell me that some of them are highly educated & highly intelligent people!

You can be highly educated & intelligent but your morals are still rotten.

I've got absolutely no faith in any politician. They are in it for the money.

Since we're throwing the word "fascist" around like a bunch of hyper-emotional University students, Europe has always had a soft spot in its heart for fascism of all persuasions: left, or right. It's a part of European culture.

So, the fact that some wacko organizations has gained a bit of political power is not the least bit surprising considering how easily led most Europeans/British are when it comes to politics.

Although, it is comical to see Europeans experiencing the very opposite effect that the economy has had on the masses, while the most naive Americans believe that their country is hurdling toward some permanent far left ideal. What neither of them understand is that in a Democracy, the public gets what the public wants, and what the public wants tends to change frequently.

Politics is merely a football game, and the vast majority of you are guilty for cheerleading for bad ideas on both sides. You perpetuate a lack of skepticism, and an insistence on doing things "your way" without possessing even a fraction of the knowledge, and/or experience necessary to come to such conclusions. In short, you're just like almost everyone else who has come and gone throughout history.

As Europe continues to solidify itself as a true Orwellian region, it's difficult to have much sympathy for any bizarre form of governance that the people there pace their faith in.

Again, the left wing groups that are the favorites of the ill informed possess just as much potential for instituting "fascism" as these odd ball parties that gain some sympathy every now and then. How do we know this? Well, because they have been doing so for quite sometime.

Europe is a weaker defender of free speech, and throughout both the European Continent and Great Britain, civilian monitoring is becoming the norm. You might want to aim your criticism toward those values as well, if you're so incredibly outraged by the topic in general.

It's rather simple: Place less faith in governments of any sort, and this never-ending passion play might become less of a problem in human societies.

Boo-Hoo.

Don't forget it was the British people who voted for BNP. It was their choice. So they must be doing something right. David Cameron should go back to being a choir boy. All recognised political parties should have the same freedom of speech, so give BNP theirs. It's the only way people can make their own informed decisions about politics.

Politics should be about being able to weigh up pros & cons and becoming informed, not about being force-fed by the mass media.

The Obama administration has spent 44 BILLION DOLLARS already - and unemployment has gone up, home foreclosures have gone up, things are only getting worse. Someone with any economic sense please go to Washington.
