This response is an obscenity - you have completely avoided the charge of rascism which what I was objecting too.
That's your opinion, I don't hate people because of the colour of their skin, their religion, their sexuality; I do wish to preserve my national identity so go ahead and call me a racist if that's what you wish to believe.

To call the Nazis socialist is also an obscenity against anyone of left-wing beliefs (Hilter put vast numbers of socialist and communists in concentration camps)
Hitler put anybody who disagreed with him in concentration camps. Sorry, but they (the Nazis) were Socialists

The founders of the BNP have longstanding links with what I would term fascist/nazi groups - I've been involved in all of this since the early seventies and as I said I can smell a turd when I come across it.
That's a lame argument "Prof"; people and their beliefs can change over time. If I were to see for myself what I would call extreme activities, then I would certainly be out like a shot; I haven't so i'm not. What one person would call extreme, another may call soft and vice versa. I certainly won't base my political decisions on what someone writes in a newspaper or worse, on the word or advice of a Socialist.

I'd add that my own beliefs do not support any of the stalinist/maoist state capitalist regimes you mention. (And I'd agree with denoucing loonies like Pol Pot)
And I don't subscribe to the charge of being a racist because of the party that I choose to support either. That said, I would rather be called all the names under the sun, than vote for a mainstream party because that's what everyone else is going to do, or my vote isn't going to change anything anyway, or that the leader of one party was a "good egg". I want change and I want to associate myself with a party that can undertake that change.

I don't know you, you may well be a nice chap on a personal level but your political beliefs disgust me - sorry.
You will more than likely never know me, yet you judge me based upon my political beliefs. Interestingly, doesn't a racialist judge a person because of the colour of their skin or by virtue that a person derives from a particular country or group of people.

I deference to something we DO have in common (I hope) - support for the aims of Safe Speed - I'm going to leave this here and won't pass further comment.
My support for Safespeed is based upon the principle that Safespeed has been able to convince me that it has the right approach and policies to road safety. I have suitably changed some of my driving practises as a result of this advice and for the better. Safespeed has been aided by some suitably passionate and dedicated people of all backgrounds, who i'm sure ahve like me gained more than we've ever put in.
