BNP attitude to Gurkhas
21 Answers
I am sure that I have mentioned on here before that I have a very good friend who is sympathetic to the BNP and was considering standing as a local councillor for them.
Yesterday, he told me that he has gone off them as he had heard (though he wasn't sure if it was true or not) that they didn't want the Gurkhas to be allowed to come in to the country.
I know what I think the BNP's reaction is to the Gurkhas, but does anyone actually know (preferably with some sort of proof).

Cant say he would be much of a counciler if he based his decisions on "what he had heard" and that he was not even sure if that was true.
Why not visit the parties web site and see what they say?

According to the parties web site there is a deliberate smear campaign to say they are against the arrival of the gurkhas in this country.
The web site says there are posters being produced that LOOK like they come from the BNP but are in fact fake.
Looks like somebody is gettng a little worried about the parties potential at the ballot box.
Lets face it you dont bother to smear someone you are not worried about.

Ah yes, councillors are not allowed to talk to friends at all. They must immediately research any thing they hear and keep their mouth shut until they know all the facts.
They are very good and saying what they haven't done / published. What I am trying to find out is what their attitudes towards the Gurkhas actually are.
ie will they welcome them, or do they want to repatriate them?

I think the answer to your question is quite straightforward, Vic.
From the BNP�s website under �policies�:
IMMIGRATION - time to say ENOUGH!
�...we call for an immediate halt to all further immigration, the immediate deportation of criminal and illegal immigrants, and the introduction of a system of voluntary resettlement whereby those immigrants who are legally here will be afforded the opportunity to return to their lands of ethnic origin...�
It says nothing about �except Gurkhas�, so I assume they would be viewed in the same light.

lmao isnt this similar to america having negro soldiers and also the alllies in the liberation of paris not using black soldiers for the liberation , even though the freee french army was 60% black from african held french territories?
we will let them fight for us but we dont want them here?
if someones smearing the bnp then good on them.

WELL NOT IN PUBLIC EH ??
British nazi party , plain and simple.

vic, where have you been for the last God knows how many years? Your question is superfluous unless you've been living in an underground cave somewhere in the UK with no contact whatsoever with the real world.
According to the BNP, unless you are white, non Aryan, "born and bred" in Blighty, a non immigrant, then you have no right to reside here.
If you think that the BNP are really going to welcome the Gurkhas to sette here, then you have either been inhabiting aforementioned cave, or else you are the most naive person imaginabe.

Can anyone explain the following then:
1) The BNP wants to ban (or at least reduce) immigration, and they get vilified for it.
2) The labour party have let all and sundry come here, and done little to keep out illegal immigrants, fake asylum seekers, foreign criminals, or limit people from some EU countries.
We now have many foreign criminal gangs, yardie drug dealers, romanian credit card scammers, muslim bombers, and muslims shouting hate at our troops.
Yet somehow it is OK to vote for the Labour party, but not to vote for the BNP.
Strange eh !

I heard a program on Radio 4 a few months ago.
It was about some Jewish students who were at university in Leeds.
They rented a house in a poor area of Leeds, which was full of Muslims.
Every time they came out their house they met a tirade of abuse from the muslims, with them shouting y*d to the jewish students at the top of their voices.
It was so bad the students had to move to another area.
So ethnic groups can be just a bad as any "white" people, sometime worse.
But of course the "white" always get the blame, and the ethnic racists are rarely mentioned.
Just one example of the "problems" cause by our ever increasing ethnic mix.

VHG - there is a difference between wanting to 'ban' or reduce immigration and saying that anyone living in this country who is not white is not really British and shouldn't be classed as such.
They want to 'voluntarily repatriate' any one who has immigrated here (including their children who were born and bred here).
I agree (and so do may other people) that immigration is out of control.
But in the same way that if cars driving over 70mph kill people, you don't ban cars - you put plans and policies in place to stop people driving over 70.
There is a big difference between a managed immigration policy and banning immigration and sending 'good' immigrants home.
That is why I (as well as other people) vilify the BNP

Smear campaign, looks like the lefties are really worried. Its a neoo labour tactic that of course to call everyone who disagrees a racist.
Whilst I personally will not be voting for the BNP, unlike some on this site, I believe in democracy. If the mainline parties were in tune with the majority of the public extreme parties (left and right) would get no where. Noo labour have consistantly ignored the majority listening instead to the twittering classes in there cosy coffe shops in Islington.
It is the labour party who are to blame for the rise of these extremist groups.

I think that there are plenty of news stories about this - the fact that you have heard it on Radio 4 proves it really.

Because of course, if there wasn't immigration, everything would be fine and dandy.
People are bullied and picked on by anything that makes them different - from colour of skin and religion through to the football team you support.
Trying going to a local derby match and see how many fights kick off between the mobs.
this is a few days old now, but Griffin thinks they're mercenaries and shouldn't be allowed to stay.

But this chap draws a distinction between Gurkhas and other migrants (note that he says he is not a racist, so that's okay)

To a certain extent, yes, they can be classed as Mercenaries, the Indian Army has a contigment, as does China, but, the Gurkhas, throughout their long history with this country, have shown an extraordinary allegiance, ever since they couldn't beat us, as we couldn't beat them, and it should be known, that the Gurkhas who serve the other countries mentioned, failed to qualify to serve with the British Army.
As i've said before, 10th Gurkha was attached to my regiment in the Far East, I served two years with them, and if there is anyone of foreign blood deserving to settle in this country, it is the Gurkhas.
Mind you, if the BNP was to ever take power, then i'm one of those that will be targetted.

It's clear by looking for the answer to this simple question, (I too was curious as to the opinion of the BNP on this Gurkha issue), that the BNP are clearly trying to shy away from this issue. Clearly, it shows them for the Nazi's they are trying to imply that they aren't any more. Because of this F##@-up government we have found out we have, the BNP will clearly gain in numbers, this sadly is almost certain. And the BNP very much knows this, and so yes - they will shy away from the Gurkha issue.
