As part of my university research into far right politics and fascism in Britain I conducted an interview with Nick Cass, a spokesperson for Britain’s largest far right party, the British National Party (BNP). Issues of asylum and immigration currently receive much attention in the UK, much of the right wing media are irresponsibly and falsely displaying immigrants and asylum seekers as a ‘problem’ that needs a ‘solution’. This media attention in turn tends to shape the view of the average person who, as with all issues, is susceptible to what they may see as popular opinion. This has led to an almost accidental racism, prompted by a profound misunderstanding of important issues. This interview was conducted to help me further understand those who have made it their mission to further sensationalise issues of asylum and immigration and capitalise on the bad press that some of the worlds most unfortunate people have received.
The interview is quite long, but it well worth a read to gain an insight into the real motives and aims of the British National Party. Please visit the sites below to read more about the scourge of far right politics. If you so happen to agree with the BNP and the far right then you are unfortunately ignorant, this can be remedied by either getting an education or reading a few decent and fair book or articles on these issues. Please feel free to contact me about anything you read here, I would love to hear your views.
Hope this opens your eyes. They are NOT just another political party.
N.B. The text below is a literal transcription of words spoken during the interview. Therefore, what appear to be grammatical errors are in fact Nick Cass' own words.
