    You aren’t seriously trying to defend the BNP?

    Not me. I would have nothing to do with that lot. I am just saying that it’s okay for one group to call itself ‘nationalists’ but not the other.

    I wouldn't call the Labour manifesto in any way Centre Left, which would explain quite clearly why they polled so poorly. Those on here insisting it was Centre Left should question why the Communist Party withdrew all candidates and endorsed Labour...

    How's that funny? I have a lot of friends who are SNP supporters, and would quite willingly spend an evening in their company - can you say the same about your BNP mates?

    That’s not the problem people have with the BNP.

    TBH I don’t know anyone from that organisation and wouldn’t want to spend an evening at some rally... but I would say the same about SNP who do have a few nasty Krankies within its group.

    Don’t you think the word ‘Nationalist’ has a thing about it?

    A woman gets sacked for saying that a biological man can never be a woman, and vice versa. A man self-identifying as a woman is not a woman. JK Rowling supports her and is now being badly trolled by extreme members of the militant trans community.

    Nothing against trans people, but for once, I support JK Rowling.

    Christ this is tedious.
    Ellers just said that he'd never support them and you immediately call them his mates.

    This thread is like a ****ing school playground.

    Any thoughts on the pledges made in the Queen's speech?
    Are they all far right evil deeds?

    Yes. Nationalism in itself is beyond ****ing stupid but it’s just a word. If the BNP and SNP are two examples of nationalism then they’re hugely different interpretations of it just as the “National Front” was, which is all the BNP was. Since then they’ve morphed into Britain First and now they’re proud members of the Tory party.

    BBC reporting that PM Johnson will give careful consideration to Sturgeon's request for Indyref2, and not merely mark it, "Return to Sender".

    Even this lot aren’t brazen enough to lay out all their bad intentions for their new support and the vulnerable in a Queen’s Speech but no doubt you’d clap like a seal if they did because you’re an apologist for it.

    Huge difference between far right organisations like Britain First etc (who's views are abhorrent) and people who are genuinely patriotic.
    Unfortunately the latter get accussed of being the former.
    Usually by young left wing supporters who sound like student union reps.

    The
    The SNP won’t get enough support to leave. Boris knows this and will call her bluff. If/when they lose again it will be the end of Kranky and the SNP. more people in Scotland voted Brexit than SNP.
    However...
    If they do want to leave, then so be it. Funilly the SNP didn’t want to let us be our own country and leave the EU but it’s okay for them?
    maybe the EU will cover the tab for all the junkies in Glasgow and Edinburgh?
