You are brainwashed, I am not that astonished as you are from Gornal. You will never achieve anything in life by following Nazis. I estimate you are a bnp crust aswell. I can state there is a lot more in life than being a miserable old git narrow minded, miss guided, brain washed, ignorant person who ought to have been shipped out to Australia. You got left behind.

Sniper, your comments disgust me. Your tactics of bullying those who disagree with you are far more Nazi then anything the BNP (which believes strongly in free speech) does.

Also don't you dare try to Deny JETBOY 59 the right to say that this country is his as well. He is indigenous and it is nothing less then genocidal to deny Native peoples their claim to their own homeland.

Finally, if you think British National Party supporters are brainwashed then perhaps you should look up the United Nations charters on the rights of indigenous peoples and the convention on genocide and then look at Britain's current immigration policy. Maybe then you will reconsider who is being brainwashed.

i guess you are from the same clan as jetboy, just look at the history of the bnp & you will realize for yourslf that they are a party full of hate. I here this all the time, native people, what are you going to prove after that? bnp is not the answer to immigration policy. the truth is exposed of the bnp & we will continue exposing the bnp inside out.
Posted by: sniper, dudley on 9:54am Sat 3 May 08
each member of the bnp has got some kind of a criminal record, you telling me these people care about you? what have they done for other than causing trouble? you are the LOST PEOPLE. Get a life. If you think people do not know about the bnp then you need to wake up. We will continue exposing them again & again. We know the truth, you dont.

bnp have no place in dudley, they should pack their bags & leave. They have tried to cause enough hate already, you should read up on their history, their backgrounds. They are scum bags. Joshua my son, 2 wrongs don't make a right. do something better in life.

i suggest you read up on the history of Nick Griffin & the rest of the Nazi scums. They should be ashamed of themselves. Evil people live in our country how can they get away with all the lies & stoking up hatred against minority communities.
Posted by: sniper, dudley on 12:19pm Mon 5 May 08
The thing is that no one has got a problem in dudley with each other regardless of race etc, as soon as the Nazis got in they tried there best to cause trouble but it failed. The BNP are not welcome in dudley. Nazi scums.

Jetboy 59 & joshua you are the people who are the ones who would have supported hitler back then, you are doing it now. You are wasting your time & your life backing the Nazi scums. They are not British themselves. British people are not like the Nazi scums we have in dudley. Nazi scums are not welcome in dudley.
