Preserving British Identity: The British National Party’s Immigration Policy

[pampango]

"British jobs for British workers."

"The current open-door policy and unrestricted, uncontrolled immigration is leading to higher crime rates , demand for more housing (driving prices out of the reach of young people), severe extra strain on the environment , traffic congestion, longer hospital waiting lists, lower educational standards, higher income taxes, lower wages , higher unemployment , loss of British identity, a breakdown in community spirit, more restrictive policing, higher council taxes, a shortage of council homes, higher levels of stress and unhappiness and a more atomised society."

"Each nation has the right to maintain its own identity. The right of India to remain Indian, the right of China to remain Chinese, the right of Pakistan to remain Pakistani and the right of Saudi Arabia to remain Saudi does not mean that any of these nations “hate” anybody else. All it means is that they wish to preserve their identity and national existence. This is all the British National Party seeks for Britain - the right to be British."

"Only the British National Party has the reasonable, sensible, fair and just immigration policy which will guarantee that Britain remains British.

- Deport all the two million plus who are here illegally ;
- Deport all those who commit crimes and whose original nationality was not British;
- Review all recent grants of residence or citizenship to ensure they are still appropriate;
- Offer generous grants to those of foreign descent resident here who wish to leave permanently;
- Stop all new immigration except for exceptional cases;
- Reject all asylum seekers who passed safe countries on their way to Britain."

"We want Britain to remain - or return to - the way it has traditionally been. We accept that Britain always will have ethnic minorities and have no problem with this as long as they remain minorities and do not change nor seek to change the fundamental culture and identity of the indigenous peoples of the British Isles."

Interesting how immigration seems to raise the same strains and proposed solutions everywhere. I know the BNP is a right-wing party, but thought it worth noting that some of their complaints and proposed solutions mirror what you hear from RW talking heads in the US and some folks on the left, as well.

1. To be clear: the BNP are not just right-wing, they're racist

They literally put shit through non-white people's letter boxes (not officially, of course; but their members do boast of such things, and have been convicted of it too). They are officially against mixed-race relationships, and will not allow any members with non-white ancestry.

They exist, as a party, to discriminate against non-white people.

2. More proof of their racism turns up

The BNP manual, leaked to an anti-fascist group and seen by the BBC, says that "BNP activists and writers should never refer to 'black Britons' or 'Asian Britons' etc, for the simple reason that such persons do not exist".

"These people are 'black residents' of the UK etc, and are no more British than an Englishman living in Hong Kong is Chinese.

"Collectively, foreign residents of other races should be referred to as 'racial foreigners', a non-pejorative term... The key in such matters is above all to maintain necessary distinctions while avoiding provocation and insult."

The manual describes the BNP's "ultimate aim" as the "lawful, humane and voluntary repatriation of the resident foreigners of the UK".
...
"We don't subscribe to the politically correct fiction that just because they happen to be born in Britain, a Pakistani is a Briton. They're not; they remain of Pakistani stock.

"You can't say that especially large numbers of people can come from the rest of the world and assume an English identity without denying the English their own identity, and I would say that's wrong," he added.

"In a very subtle way, it's a sort of bloodless genocide."

It's always about race at the base, for the BNP. When they talk about immigration, they're talking about skin colour, really - even of people born in Britain.
