Disgusted at BNP vote
AS a person who holds no political allegiance to any political party, group or individual, to say I was disgusted to see the voters of this country give credence to a vile, racist and fascist party such as the BNP is an understatement.
The 21st century was a bloody one. Why? Because people of a country were so disillusioned and didn't know who to turn to for answers.
They found it in a fascist party who promised them anything and fed on their fears. The people began to make small compromises every day to everything that affected their lives and turned their eyes and ears to the people who cried out for justice.
If the people had sat down and calculated the compromises they had made every day and the price they were going have to pay six years down the line, then we and they would not have wasted so many young men and women in fighting for democracy, as we still do to this day.
In the face of these facts people have thrown these servicemen and women's deeds back in their faces.
What does our young 21st century hold for us now?
Can all the people who pass a military cemetery or war memorial say in all conscience that they honour these men and women when they vote for the BNP? Or indeed any party that ignores or does not fully understand what our honoured dead and maimed men and women have done for our freedom.
