Sunder Katwala, over at Next Left, makes perhaps the best argument against the BNP’s “repatriation policy” that I’ve ever come across:
If they thought about for ten minutes, which I recognise might be asking a little too much, I fear the BNP’s repatriation policy could create an enormous sense of grievance among their target electorate of white voters who feel that far too much is done for minorities.
There is a lot of mythology in that claim.
Yet, now, to add insult to injury, here is perhaps the largest ever special treatment programme being offered to minority Brits — and by the BNP itself.
Why on earth should the British government spend up to £9bn offering grants of up to £50,000 to people to leave the country — yet only on an affirmative action basis, so that the offer is made exclusively for those (like me) whose parents are from abroad?
This excludes indigenous Brits who might fancy a new life in Australia, Canada or Spain. Where on earth is the fairness in that? Couldn’t white Brits sue the government under equality legislation, were such a law introduced?
Perhaps Trevor Phillips could investigate. For Nick Griffin may here have finally succumbed to political correctness gone mad.
