Why have us in Scotland continually got to watch the BNP, Tories, Libs, Labour, UKIP, all British parties on our TV. We're a multi racial country or trying to be and Britain drags us down, bring on the next election. Britain/Engerland would be much better without us!!


Underneath the facetiousness, your post does raise a valid point. There are just as many areas of Scotland that could lay claim to being neglected by complacent Labour councils as there are in England, and yet the BNP seem to have made no inroads whatsoever up there. This is despite of the fact that the percentage of Asian people living in Glasgow is now not that much lower than in London.


That is the point, apart from obvious areas where loyalism is strong and has a sectarian/bigoted edge the BNP have made no real inroads. To be fair to the Scottish National Party they have engaged with all the ethnic groups including the English population many of whom are members of that party. To be honest they don't have a clue about Scotland and it's internal issues, independence is coming sooner or later so being British will be a thing of the past. Personally I'd rather the BNP, EDL, SDL, Orange Order etc. be things of the past drowning in a cesspit of their rhetoric and bile!
