The real BNP index

 

Racists The BNP says the only  ‘native Britons’ are white Britons. The BNP says white Britons should be  given priority for jobs.  That makes everyone else a second class citizen.  

Thugs  As crime statistics show, racism is still alive and kicking in this country.  Where the BNP make  gains racist attacks and hate crimes often increase.  BNP activists have also  been convicted of petrol  bomb attacks, for racist and common assault, for violent disorder, for criminal damage and for  assaulting police officers.  They are not nice people  – in spite of their efforts to rebrand themselves as  respectable.  Do you really want them representing you? 

Use your vote  In elections you have the chance to send a  clear message to the BNP  - keep out. 
Use your vote to stop the BNP sowing their seeds  of hate in our community. 
Use your vote to stop the BNP from destroying our  democracy. 
Use your vote to protect all of our public services and the workers who provide them. 

The BNP seriously damage  your public services
It takes a whole range of  people to provide public  services in the UK. If the BNP had their way, they’d  take some vital workers  right out of the picture –  leaving our public services to grind to a halt. Beneath the respectable image  the BNP is attempting to construct, it is still the same old organisation  that believes the only  ‘native Britons’ are those  who are white and that white Britons should be  given priority for jobs. This  makes everyone else a second class citizen.  If the BNP’s racist policies  were implemented our NHS  would collapse because: 
38% of all doctors  working in hospitals  in England qualified  outside Britain 
40% of new dentists  were born abroad 
16% of nurses come  from Black and Asian  backgrounds, while 
44,000 overseas nurses  worked in the NHS last  year alone. 

The myths  The BNP believes that  Black and Asian workers are taking jobs that white Britons should be given. In  the real world Black and  Asian workers are essential people doing  essential jobs.  Black and Asian workers  make up around 7% of  the working population  but contribute 10% of economic growth.  They put £6bn a year  more in the public purse  through taxes than they  claim in state benefits,  while overseas students contribute a further £3billion to  the British economy.  The BNP blames Black  and Asian people for the shortage of rented housing  - but the real reason there  are 1.5m people on the  housing waiting list is that council-house building is currently only 1% of the level it was in the 1970s.
