Tony Kearns, from the Communication Workers' Union calls democracy a disgrace!

Well it seems the socialist rabble are at it again with their utter disregard for the double D's.  No not the putrid double d's belonging to Nick Griffin's overweight and badly formed self but rather, the two d's important in healthy politics: Democracy and Debate.

Tony Kearns, assistant general secretary of the Communication Workers' Union calls it a disgrace that the Labour Party are considering 'sharing a platform' with the BNP.  One can only assume that Kearns isn't referring to the peripheral or spatial entailment of the word platform, but rather Mr Kearns takes issue with anybody daring to enter any form of respectable human communication with the BNP.

Let's not forget, the BNP are a legitimate political party in Britain.  They are not some sort of rogue guerilla political operation.  Let's not forget that 6.26% of the electorate voted for them in the European elections this year.

To dismiss a vote for the BNP as a mere protest vote is as dismissive as one can get.  There were over 15 fringe parties that the electorate could pick from in order to'protest', so why would they have chosen the BNP?

It's simple.  They got those votes because the lefty socialists amongst us gave them license to never have to say much in public, but to do it all in secrecy and under their own caring arms.  An unchallenged opponent is won who has therefore never lost is a saying that I have.  And that is exactly what the BNP have been for all these years.

Don't get me wrong.  I despise the BNP and what they are truly about.  Seeing their overweight oily selves walking on two trotters with their French resembling tri-coloured rosettes makes the idea of watching Danni Minogue crocodile tear her way towards attention on the X-Factor, or Jordan 'baring all' in the latest Heat magazine seem like not such a vomit inducing exercise.  I despise the BNP but I love more than I hate anything, and what I love are those double d's (no not Jordan's)- Democracy and Debate.

There is a famous quote that rings similar to "I despise what you have to say but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

In the case of the BNP I will defend their right to speak simply because the sad fact is that the majority of people who voted BNP have no idea what they are actually about.  Some of you will refuse to believe this, but remove your self alligned arrogance that everybody has the some political infatuation as you.  When canvassing I had people tell me, proud in their naive way that they were voting BNP.  I'd ask them why and the response would be "because they're the only ones who care about British workers"; and the ironic thing?  The gentleman's name was Mr Singh.

Bring the BNP on Question Time and other shows.  In fact I would happily be on the panel with them next to me.  And do you know what I'd do?  I'd turn to Nick Griffin and say, on behalf of the 6% of the people that vote for you let me shake your hand and tell you that I recognise your right to exist as a political party no matter how putrid you or your party is, for I am not scared of you or what you have to say, I in fact welcome it, because it is about time that the people watching at home were finally stopped being patronised by socialist lefty politicians that think the public must somehow be protected from the big bad BNP, I want those of you watching who voted for the BNP to watch and listen carefully and ask yourself at the end of the show is this truly who I thought I had voted for, a bigotted, hateful and mind numbingly intellectually stagnant party, and finally is this something I can look the children of the future in the face and say they are the sort of people I want dictating to you as to how the colour of one's skin is the difference between being right and wrong.

I'm sick to death of Socialist organisations jumping up and down like overexcited smarties overdosed toddlers at the very mention of the BNP.  While you're jumping up and down in hysterics just remember,you're dancing to their tune.
