The BBC Have Your Say forums have always been full of ignorant morons, but it looks now like the BNP are making a concerted effort to use the site as a platform for their views.
Here is a selection of the highest voted comments today:
No elections in my area this time but I would have voted BNP. The only party with the nuts to tell it how it really is.
Blah Blah Blah, Soham
Just hope it is a candidate who will stop the mega mosque!
Keith Waters, Ely, United Kingdom
Looking at the results, it seems unlikely that the BNP really has that much support. More likely, they have rallied a significant number of their supporters to vote for these kinds of comments to get them to the top of the list.
At least, I hope that’s what is happening, because being half British / half Asian I’m kin of worried when people vote for a party that is directly opposed to my existence. It just shows how bad things still are when I’m not even sure I should admit to something like that – even the hint of it seems to make people nervous and wary of you.
