BNP Members List Leaked


Am I the only person who cannot stand to watch members of the BNP on the news talking about how their privacy has been invaded after 12,000 names of the BNP register list has been leaked.

To my way of thinking if you are a proud BNP member, what is wrong with proclaiming the fact loudly and proudly. Let the rest of us know exactly how you feel.

If I was living next to a BNP member I for sure would like to know. It lets the public know that despite how proud we are as a nation are of being so multicultural, racism is still rife within society.

Also I for one am completely for not having BNP members in the police force, in the army or working as teachers.

What sort of people do you want teaching your children, or on the streets on London supposedly protecting the community.

We do not need people picking and choosing who they are going to help or who they are going to teach equality to.

So if this list has helped people be a little more honest about their true feelings, then all the better for us non-racist people.

Sorry Computer Problems

Sorry guys I've been having computer problems so I've been unable to post anything.

Well tomorrow I'm off to the London Assembly to watch the London Mayor's question time, so hopefully I'll be able to get some good things to talk about.

I'm hoping Boris Johnson will talk about how effective his stop and search policy is going. Whether it is really getting some good results or is it just widening the gap between the police and the youth.

Already teenagers are very weary and distrustful of the police, so to give the police powers to randomly stop and search people at will will not build confidence.


The police instead needs to think of a way to instill confindence in people insted of giving them more reason not to want to co-operate with them.

Therefore if Boris can prove that his methods are having some effect and he can show that it is in fact reducing crime, then I will be convinvced.

Tomorrow we shall see.

Racism In The Police Not A Big Surprise

Today, Boris Johnson announced that the Metropolitan Police was ready for a new start. Following the resignation of it's chief, Sir Ian Blair and the many racist allegations that are now coming out of the wood work.

Also with the airing of the Panorama show 'The Secret Policeman, Part 2,' and the warning from The Black Police Association for Black and Minority Ethnic people not join the Police force, it seems racism has become the hottest topic of the week.

What I find hard to believe, is the shock that the idea of racism in the Metropolitan Police has generated in the public.


People of Black and Ethnic Minorities have known that racism is rife in the police. However, it seems that everyone else has been none the wiser.

It is sad to think that after all this time, and with the many changes that has been made, that it can all be set back by a few ignorant people.

It is a known fact that people from a Black and Ethnic Minority backgrounds need to work harder to achieve their goals.


While I can understand why the Black Police Association issued their warning, I think that we should not bow out of the industry because of the ignorance of others.


I think that we should always strive to achieve our goals and overcome the many hurdles that it may entail. At the end of the fight, it just makes it all the sweeter.

However, I do think that society needs to wake up a take a good look at the many institutions that are supposed to govern our lives.


Realising that things are not always what they seem, just because something does not affect you, it does not mean that the problem is not there.

Wake Up People!
