European Elections

I'm suddenly very annoyed. Actually, bugger that. I'm downright disgusted!

We as a country have gone slowly downhill recently. I always thought that the racism situation in the UK was improving to the point where racial tensions had almost disappeared. But it seems not.

I have been following the news about the elections recently and was under the assumption on two points: 1) Labour have a problem, 2) Our PM might be gone by next week. Now I'm not a Labour supporter. I actually think that the SWP have the best ideas and would be the best party to get us out of the current recession. Odd isn't it. I'm a capitalist, consumerist middle-class teenager who thinks that the socialists have the best ideas. Oh well aren't I a bit radical.

Anyway. I've just been flicking through the Guardian's breaking news section and something has just ruined my day. I don't even think my law exam in the morning could ruin today any more. In fact, even if I got my foot run over by a car as I crossed the road, I still think that would be better than this news.

The BNP have a seat in Parliament. What a freakin' joke. Obviously I've just spouted a load of swear words and opinions with a smattering of distaste over Twitter/Facebook and have recieved an odd message telling me to stop cussing from an automated response thing. But he can go to hell because it was said for good reason!

Why is it that in modern society - a society built around morales and values - we have a racist and atrociously simple-minded party sitting in our government? I'd rather see Jeremy Kyle sitting on the bench than this chap. I think I'd rather have Jeremy Kyle sit a term as PM than have the BNP anywhere in our government.

And the same applies to UKIP as well. Why should we stop immigrants entering the country? Why should we move away from the EU?

1) Without the influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa. We would have a problem with jobs on our hands. Polish plumbers, builders, denists, doctors. These are people who are trained to do these jobs (well most anyway) doing the jobs we don't want to do. And then when we do want those jobs, we get arsey because the Poles got there before us. Well good on the Polish to be honest. Same applies to other Eastern-Europeans and whatever.
2) The EU supplies us with valuable trade routes that help our economies and provide fundature for Britain. Moreover, if we had never joined the EU; we would have to seriously bolster our port customs so as to make up for the jobs which the border patrols in other countries do for us. And anyway, who really minds if we have a few people from the A8 coming to work in Britain? It means they spend more (although some do just send money home and live on the bare minimum).

As I said on Twitter just moments ago: What the f#@& is wrong with society these days?!
