    This flag waving is making me sick too:



    Joking aside theres all this Filipino versus USA/Black America lippiness. I find it daft. We want a fight to be announced and we got two piles of nuthuggers flying into each others faces but we just want a fight.

    No Gods: No Masters.

    No Borders: No Nations.

        BNP - The Truth About Immigration



        BNP leader Nick Griffin wants Bolton-born Olympic boxing hero Amir Khan to leave Britain.

        Griffin - whose party wants to create 'firm incentives' for non-white Britons to leave their homeland - dismissed claims that the policy would strip the country of talent.

        Referring to Khan, he added: "Perhaps we will lose one good boxer but there are more important things."


        Khan - who has spoken out against Islamic extremism and walked out behind the Union Flag for his professional debut - was born and raised in Bolton.

        His cousin, Saj Mahmood, plays cricket for Lancashire and England.

        The 22-year-old boxer once said: "I've always felt completely British. I loved making the British people happy in Athens [where he won Olympic silver], and I still do.

        "Those of us from different ethnic backgrounds, like Lewis Hamilton and myself, are carrying the flag for Britain by doing our thing, being ourselves and wanting to become world champions."

        His dad, Shah Khan, said: "At the end of the day I think everyone should be treated equally - regardless of the colour of their skin."

        The BNP is targeting the north west of England as it seeks to win a seat in the European elections next month.

        Griffin - who was convicted in 1998 of distributing material likely to incite racial hatred - is the party's top candidate in our region.

        During his trial he dismissed the Holocaust as 'Allied wartime propaganda' - a view he claims to have recanted.

        In a broadcast put on the BNP's website this week, Griffin told supporters he had 'no problem' breaking race laws.

        "We don't break the law," he said. "We never have, we never will, on financial things.

        "Don't mind breaking the odd race law, or being accused of it, you know, inadvertently."

        The BNP's policies would not just see 'one good boxer' pushed out of the country.

        Football stars such as Rio Ferdinand and Shaun Wright-Phillips would also be 'encouraged' to leave - along with thousands of successful Black and Asian Britons from all walks of life.

        Labour MP Frank Field and Conservative Nicholas Soames have teamed up to encourage the mainstream parties to tackle legitimate concerns about immigration.


        People are deeply and justifiably concerned about how immigration is changing our country
        Nicholas Soames


        The two men are spearheading a campaign for a 'balanced' policy. That would mean the total number of people allowed to settle in the country would be brought into line with the numbers leaving.

        In a letter to the MEN, the MPs said: "Our concern is that the issue that is bothering many people right across the country, and especially in England, is immigration - and the beneficiaries will be the BNP.

        "On immigration, there is now a dangerous political vacuum. Terrified of being accused as 'racists', politicians from the main political parties have shied away from talking honestly about what is happening to our country. And so enters, stage right, the loathsome BNP, hissing hate.

        "People are deeply and justifiably concerned about how immigration is changing our country.

        "Does this mean that immigration is a bad thing? Of course not. For centuries immigrants, arriving in small numbers, have made a disproportionate contribution to our society, and many thousands continue to do so.

        "But making the case for immigration becomes much harder as immigration on today's enormous scale puts increasing pressure on our public services and - more worryingly - on our society.

        "The time has come for the main party leaders to wake up to this challenge, and say how they will stop our population hitting 70 million and even 80 million in mid century.

        "The British public are deeply concerned about the impact of uncontrolled immigration: millions of people live with the consequences every day.

        "Many are anxious, fearful and ready to send a signal in June's elections. Silence from Messrs Brown, Cameron and Clegg is not an option - simply a recruiting sergeant for the BNP."

            Those racist politicians are TOTALLY missing the point. The immigrants in their homeland usually take underpaid jobs and have high productivity in relation to what they are paid. The foreign people taking away "the whiteman's jobs" are the people in China and India, back at their home, who are SUPER QUALIFIED, we are talking about highly intelligent ENGINEERS, DOCTORS and others who work in the high tech industries for a fraction of the price it costs to have an English or otherwise western qualified worker working the same job. Those are the ones who are taking away the quality of life our fathers enjoyed and we won't be able to much longer, the ones racist politicians can't do NOTHING about. This is the truth. Who to blame? Global trade for one and the fact we were content to pay much less for things as computers and televisions not realizing we were by doing so, taking away our own jobs.

              NEITHER shove their beliefs down other people's throats, unlike hamed.

                He's just hating on people.

                The sad thing is, there are a lot fo Brits who live in council estaes who just get ****** up and have babies. These scum can't be ****ed to work.

                I also heard a story from a 80 year old black woman who said when she came to be a nruse from BRITISH west indies, the English were so racist towards them and the Irish.

                People couldn't rent houses from Brits, only the ***s would but at high prices. There were signs that said no Blacks and Irish.

                Then she said asians are getting hate but they use to open shops and work their asses off morning to late. Before they came the English closed all sunday and opened 9-5.

                Without Indian doctors the health care system would be ****ed up here.

                They don't mind foreign students spending 10-20k a year here to study, but get a job? Nah.

                **** the BNP, their ideas are too simple.

                As for under cutting Brits for jobs? Without these cuts, many more busiensses would be banked rupt because of extra cost, or they will just force the public to pay more, not good when it's tough times already.

                    I've acknowledged that there's an unfortunate race issue with Amir, For some reason the British dont like the kid because of his color. Even Khan himself said "If I were a white British fighter, Id be a superstar".

                    So my question to the British is if Amir Khan was white would you like him more?

                    I hate to say it but the UK seems like its not at the same level as the US when it comes to race relations and tolerance, Heck just look at the US president.

                    American fans are pure boxing fans. They dont bring prejudice into the boxing arena. For instance Manny is oriental yet he gets great support in america. That would never ever happen in britain. Only place manny would get support in the UK is in china town or Chinese restaurant.


                    That being said I know that Britian is a very divided country, There is no such thing as "British", You are either English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, or a derogatory term for anything else. Perhaps the problem the UK faces is that they have been unable to define a national identity. For instance in the US there are Italian-Americans, ***ish-Americans, Arab-Americans, African-Americans, Latino-Americans....But are all still Americans.
                    Last time I looked Haye, Eubank, Benn, Bruno, Honeghan, Lewis, Hamed...(I could go on)...weren't white.

                    The US is a far more divided country racially than Britain.
