YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM THE BNP 

I hate politics and politicians almost as much as I despise religion and religious leaders - that's not to say there isn't a place for both sorts - probably in the backroom of a very seedy bar.
Both sorts play games with the masses, excuse the pun. Both manipulate the facts and massage the figures and both slip into denial when the mood takes.
I understand there was some priests and preachers at Easter denying the resurrection, which only goes to show amongst other things religion sucks especially with confused easily-led idiots spouting gospels of their own making. 
Likewise today's politicians, they're no different from a Forest Gump chocolate selection, 'you never know what you're going to get'. When Thatcher's Tories ran things way back when, Black people knew exactly where they stood - at the very bottom of the shit-pile. Her lot struggled against equal opportunities and race relations and made no bones about it - they didn't like us and made sure we knew it and society of the day reflected that.

Spot the difference

Today, it's hard to tell what's what and who's who in the political market-place. You'd be surprised to know that there are now more Black MPs and Peers than ever before warming the benches (not cleaning them) than ever before and a fat load of difference that makes to government policy.
That Labour are making a big ho-ha over the possibility of BNP success in local elections is no surprise - how else could they convince Black and minority ethnic groups to vote for them? Play the race card and introduce a fear factor. Their policies, politicians and general attitude to Black British people sucks big-style. How certain Black politicians can say they 'represent' while their rather large buttocks warm a TV studio sofa is again beyond me and claim to be so concerned about 'underachieving Black boys' in education while their kid is safely tucked away in private education. I would like to ask them all 'what have you done for us as a people lately, but I'm sure I'll be blinded by carefully compiled facts and figures, like the snake oil salespeople of old.

Forget me not

I was never a fan of the late Tottenham MP Bernie Grant, but when he made a noise on our behalf he was heard and accused of getting too involved in Black issues outside his constituency. Now if any of our new wave of Black politicians or even the veterans would like to step up onto a Black soapbox I'd listen and cheer and probably fall over at the shock of it all.
If honesty had anything to do with it, I'd vote BNP by virtue of the fact that it is crystal clear what they're all about and with no hidden agenda. So what if they're a bunch of misguided, misinformed racist thugs. One thing is for certain that stance isn't ever going to change regardless of the socio-economic climate.
It's about time we got wise to the politicians and their politricking and started demanding more from our elected representatives - it is what they're there for.
