John X   10 #409 Posted November 4, 2009 no i dont ive asked why is it ok to be a member of a mass murdering party like sinn fein, but not a member of the bnp, if your a copper?  still no response  OK but only to shut you up.  Sinn Fein is a political party which has killed no-one. Let's get that out of the way. If you want to talk about the IRA, then accept that you are not allowed to be a policeman and a member of the IRA.  Now to the BNP. A serving police officer is charged with upholding the law. The law of the UK whether you like it or not, makes racial discrimination illegal. Now nobody is saying that somebody can't have a view on something, that is everyone's right, but to be a member of a party that espouses racial discrimination can never be compatible with a duty to uphold the law which outlaws racial discrimination.  That is why you cannot be a member of the BNP and a serving police officer.  Happy now?  J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
hollymay   10 #410 Posted November 4, 2009 Sinn Fein don't support murder. They were a part of the peace process.  oh my god what planet are you on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Wildcat   10 #411 Posted November 4, 2009 Holly here is an unanswered question, not one that you claim is unanaswered because you don't like the answers.  Perhaps you could explain:  Why? do you think the general public are attracted to people like this?

Halibut   12 #412 Posted November 4, 2009 oh my god what planet are you on?  He's technically correct. They used to support killing, they don't anymore. They were a part of the peace process. They're a democratically elected legitimate political party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Why are you reluctant to discuss BNP policies? For someone who claimed not to be a BNP supporter you show all the tactics of an operative of the racist organisation.

cloudybay   17 #418 Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) Sinn Fein is a political party which has killed no-one. Let's get that out of the way.  Sinn Fein ARE the IRA! All they've done is re-badge themselves as a political party rather than a paramilitary terrorist group.

Wildcat   10 #419 Posted November 4, 2009 sinn fein and the ira are the same thing. the bnp are a legal party like sinn fein the bnp does not put bombs under your car if you dont like or support them do they.  Sinn Fein = IRA shows a lack of understanding of history.  You might as well say BNP = C-18 it has as much credence.  Has Sinn Fein got equivalents to Tony "the bomber" Lecomber?  He was sacked because of a falling out with Joe Owens and because of his attack upon Eddy Butler the Group Elections Officer, he remains active within the party even if he doesn't appear on their payroll.  Or there is Lambertus Niewhorf convicted of attempting to blow up a Catholic school. And at Red White and Blue this year the fact Roberto Fiore served time for his part in the Bologna train bombing (that killed 80 people) did nothing to prevent him from being invited. And that is without even going in to all their Loyalist paramilitary links.  Sinn Fein may have had links with the PIRA, the point is that unlike the BNP they have played a part in bringing an end to the Troubles. The BNP on the other hand have done nothing to prevent any troubles, they are a cause and instigators of trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

To take them on and win we need to ask why so many support them. To dismiss them as racists wont work. All that will do is create more support. Address the issues.
