They are all about racism and so called "patriotism" but when it comes to anything of substance they are clueless. Their "brains" actually do not even understand what stocks and bonds are and see the whole world economy as a "jewish plot" and part of the "wolrd order". Their economc policy and knowledge hinges on "conspiracy". There manamgement of their own finances is a really good indication of their understanding of debits and credits, let alone anything nore sophisticated. Because they do not understand any of it, it follows that it must be a "plot"......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547542464688328490.post-5281873408249371732008-11-11T17:32:00.000+00:002008-11-11T17:32:00.000+00:00"Flakey, if you do not know what you're talking ab..."Flakey, if you do not know what you're talking about-say nothing."<BR/><BR/>That seems a bit unnecessary.

Challenge any BNP poster on any forum about economics and you will get very little response. They havent got a clue.

In the short term people will probably turn away from the BNP and back to the main parties, in times of uncertainty people are likely to go back to what they are comfortable with so they dont lose anything more, Labour would benefit the most with the BNP losing ground in places like Barking. The 2010 local elections will be a good test.<BR/><BR/>If the "recession" becomes the worst in living memory and beyond, then obviously people would have little left to lose and will be more willing to gamble their votes on an "alternative" such as the BNP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
