Woaho! Political post hitting you peeps, I kid you not.

Well, today is politically interesting. Unusual I know.

Nick Griffin (as of writing, I mean you never know, looking at his fat arse, he might pop his clogs of his own accord before the recording takes place... or perhaps even during the recording. The BBC might then be called heroic for inadvertedley killing him off) - I know that was an immature personal attack but forgive me, the man is the Head of the BNP)

As I was writing...

Nick Griffin (What a toss bag - Again forgive me) The political leader (wankface-Again immature I know) of the BNP (Bag 'o' Wanks - I'm trying to remain impartial I promise)

So he's going on Question Time. As of writing there's a bunch of people outside the BBC television centre getting their protest on against this event. Not against Nick Griffin himself, I'd like to make it clear that to me, it appears that they are not protesting against the disgusting, gross little excuses for policies pervaded but this horrid little blemish on the face of British politics. They're not protesting against this disgusting party's ideal of a white supremist Britain, one devoid of equality, fairness, full of hateful prejudice not only of non-white people, but of white immigrants, and homosexuals too.

They're protesting against Nick Griffin (bag of pus - I'm trying I promise) going on Question to express his views on Britain and politics etc (I say views, what I really want to say is poison - but for impartiality's sake... views). In my mind, that is in small part a protest against free-speech, and democracy. I would like to make it clear at this point that you can't call me a fan of the BNP or Nick Griffin (You know, in case you didn't quite understand from earlier brackets).

The fact is, the BNP are a political party. As much as we don't want to admit that such a political group (of wankers) exists, they do. Also we in this country have been blessed with the responsibility of a democracy. And we can't pick and choose our principles, we can't relinquish free speech just because we don't like what is being said. We can't deny democracy to a group or subset of people no matter how much we dislike their ideals. When that starts happening for whatever reason, that's the point I believe where we ourselves begin to move towards fascism. In this case the very thing we are against, we are willing to practice (admittedly on a total bag of pus... but still)

Democracy, is a privilege, and with this there is a responsibility. Holding British nationality, or residency, whether you were born here, or came to settle here gives the responsibility of upholding this democracy regardless of the voice you have to listen to. Because alongside this responsibility comes the power of voting for the voice you want heard.

Because I'm feeling Poetic...

This time, instead of regaling you with my tales, I've decided to put on a poem I've written.

MDW Lewis.

Laying down your thought foundations,
Building up your concrete heart.
Smelting your hardened veins,
With fires which have left their mark.

Soul Marks,
Burns and Scars,
But I can see you for what you are.

Houses, home is what you could be,
With petunias growing,
And daffodils under the apple tree.

The smell of food wafting by,
Like your laughter, like your cries,
Tears at films, smiles at music

Playing from upstairs.
Laughter, happiness, tea, hot chocolate and good times
In the kitchen of your life,

Hugs, and sadness, with love and support,
In the dining room of your time.
Bathrooms will cleanse, and Bedrooms will please.

But only when this house is complete,
And when there’s curtains up, a few blinds.
And when you’ve put the doormat out,
You’ll invite us all home.
