The BNP and British Jobs

The BNP , lets admit it , have some instincts Conservatives would share , Nationalism obviously , patriotism to put it a more respectable way. A dislike of excessive immigration they share with most of the country but more generally a Communitarian outlook that sees a county as a home and an inheritance , not just a car park for travellers .
We would also disagree vehemently . That they are racists , however , is a product of the imposition of multiculturalism on people who never wanted it and were not asked. I think the BNP are out growing that phase although I am sure it contains many racists . That I obviously disapprove of ,but many BNP voters have a very shallow racism .Their children are far more likely to intermarry with other races than their bourgeois judgers and far more likely than the ethnic minorities they supposedly are at war with. Their statist socialist ideas are horribly misguided but not unlike many respectable (ish) colleagues of Ken Livingstone , less authoritarian and less alarming if anything
. Behind this ill digested mich mash however is a real insight .It is that New Labour do not care about them . Ask any Labour canvasser and they will tell you it is this basic feeling that turns people to the BNP .People who neither know nor care about their nutty schemes .
Many of their voters are some time Labour voters of course ( It is the second choice of about 30% of Labour voters ) and I wonder if there is not a grave danger for Labour surrounding these wild cat strikes the EU and the history of New Labour There are few Lefties remaining , for example , who retain a suspicion of the EU. It was not always thus , many on the left fought to keep us out . Now this very EU which has been responsible for removing jobs and whose soon to be unemployed workers it offers the chance to go grape picking in Italy. These are skilled men with homes and families (Mandelson’s arrogance is beyond belief ) That Labour Party that primarily stood for the rights of the British working class was one I at least understood . I wonder how many real bread winners with skilled jobs will be unemployed by the end of the year ; a million?
How are they going to feel when they discover the taxes they have been paying have been squandered on hoards of community-interface-through-face-paint idiots and the Labour Party has nothing for them but Purnell`s ”Welfare to Work “ which means less welfare .Labour have run out of other peoples money. Cameron wanted more from it …but that’s gone now we are all borrowed out .
The Party ordinary working men dutifully funded and voted for wasted the money on exactly the public sector professional who make a living out of idleness immigration and irresponsibility . The very people who have inflicted multiculturalism , the EU and a host of meddlesome interferences . The legal right to discriminate against white men , the preferential treatment of homosexuals by adoption agencies , the outlawing , in effect of working men’s clubs and the destruction of the pub.
These are small irritations , but the sort of small thing that might loom large when you feel the Party you thought was yours has betrayed you leaving you and your family to look for work in “Europe “
If the working class votes splits to the right , it will be following a pattern that has happened elsewhere. New Labour have done all they can to humiliate the Unions, ignore manufacturing , and trample on the country .Their leaders with their slippery disloyalty and inscrutable sound bites may have gone too far. There are deep tribal bonds to the British Labour movement but it was wounded by Blair and is danger of dying .
How many people will be struck by the fact that when Brown said “ British jobs for British workers “ he was lying ,and when the BNP say it they are telling the truth. He was, and they are, and that , difficult though it may be to admit , is a fact.
