British political party comes onboard

News Julian Abbott writes "A big cheer for the British National Party !!!!! The BNP recognises that very large numbers of loving fathers are discriminated against, abused and badly hurt"

Looks like Fathers4Justice may be making an impact. Great work!

Scott's Note: We have been hearing that the BNP is a radical group with questionable policies when it comes to racial issues and immigration. Mensactivism.org is not endorsing the BNP due to these concerns, and readers are encouraged to investigate this further and decide on their own.

Praising the BNP will not enhance the reputation of Mensactivism. It is an extremist right wing party with a very small support base. It is generally accepted in Britain to be linked to neo-nazi groupings. I don't think the poster of this post is aware of this.

If there's any praise, it's of our issues getting noticed.

It is an extremist right wing party with a very small support base.

The support base ain't that small, since they did win a few local elections.

It is generally accepted in Britain to be linked to neo-nazi groupings.

Alot like the way men's advocates are accepted to hate women. It ain't true, but generalized sound bites sell papers I guess.

Take it easy willya?

Woops!! I didn't realise I'd caused such a stir. I must stress I have no particular affiliation with the BNP I do use their site as an alternative news source to say the world renowned BBC who have frequently demonised men in some way. Here's a recent quote from www.angryharry.com

"This piece from the BBC is a 'must read' for UK activists.

Six times more men than women commit suicide in prisons.

There are 20 times more men than women in prison.

Read the article and see how many times the word 'men' is mentioned.

Here is the third paragraph to whet your appetite...

Women, new arrivals, drug users and the mentally ill are most at risk of self-harm and suicide, she added.

Do you see?

When it comes to real victims and real need, 'Women' get top billing - even when their numbers are relatively few compared to those of men.

And 'Men' are kept completely out of the picture and the text.

'Men' become 'drug users', the 'mentally ill', 'prisoners', 'inmates', 'patients' etc etc.

Their gender completely disappears.

The BBC has been doing this for years!

It is a truly disgusting organisation that has been generating hatred toward men all over the world.

And it is still doing this."

Try as I may I often provide feedback to the BBC pointing out their prejudice reporting but have very rarely get the posting published.

In summary I don't agree with lots of policies of any of the political parties, mainly because they pander to the PC brigade or damage men and I’ll became an outlaw to change those two wrongs if I have to.
I'd also ask you to bear in mind that in my quiet social gatherings there is a lot of general talk of the BNP due to a lot of unease with joining the EEC and the general feeling that minority groups are being catered unfairly for one of which is women.

I looked around their site a little and, while I saw nothing overtly violent or hateful, I came away suspicious. For example this piece gave me the same creepy feeling I get when I read stuff by American white supremacists who are trying to act respectable.

Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong. Can any of our British readers enlighten me?

Listen, standing up for your race and culture does not make you a supremacist. Damn, the propaganda has done a right number on you.

I'll try, ask some specific questions.

I don't think these fringe groups should be labeled "far Left Wing" or "far Right Wing", but rather "Wrong wing". We don't want em, you don't want em. Leave them to themselves.

I know the conservative position on this website is often questioned, but I am here. I am a conservative mens' rights activist that wears a kilt. Just ask anyone in my office at work. I will give anyones ideas a chance, but the wrong ones, like KKK, I reject.

I lived in England and knew a guy who was involved in BNP. Essentially, they are a neo-Nazi front group. We need to stay the hell away from them!!!

I don't think men's activism will profit from being associated with parties that are far out on either side, left or right.

This will do more harm than good, and possibly even ruin much of our case.

Surely the point is they are people who have recognised there is a problem that men are suffering. As far as I am concerned they could be Marsians for all I care just as long as they support men.
