Rise of Racists in Europe
S.J:
What do you think about the recent French presidential election? The racist National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen's got the through to the final round of the French presidential election with the second highest amount of votes. 17% of voted for him (4.5 million people) Le Pen will take on Jacques Chirac in the final vote in two weeks' time.
Le Pen is anti immigration, he blames crime on immigrants and he want them to go back their country of origin. In 1987 he described the holocaust as a "detail of history". Le Pen says the French soccer team is not french because there are too many black people in it and said no Algerians deserve to be French.
There is a rise in the extreme right wing political parties elsewhere in Europe. In Holland Pim Fortuyn's party is expected to get 20% of the vote in election, his party says Islam is an inferior culture and wants to stop immigration.
The extreme right also has large support with The Freedom Party in Austria with 30% support. In Denmark the Danish people's party with 18%. Vlaams Blok in Belgium, The Progress Party in Norway, Swiss Peoples party in Switzerland. In Britain the British National Party is gaining support and could win seats in local elections.
Could there be a return to fascism?

its kinda worrying..... but the thing is... what if 'immigrants' had kids over there.... they're 'french' by birth... ::)
altho i think countries should have tighter immigration policies to stop them becoming crowded, it shouldnt be a race thing.

Luckily He Wont Win...
But I Agree In Some Respects - Facism Will Never Rule Any Country Outright Again And Even If It Did, If It Started Anything Against A European Convention It Would Be Removed Imidiately And Action Taken.
Anyway Fuck Europe As A Collective
We Should All Stay Independent And Each Country Worry About Its Own Area And People
The Day Britain Signs Over To The European Single Currency And Any Of Our Power To Make Outright Decisions Is The Day We Die - Believe That - Because I Guarrantee That At Some Point In The Future It WILL Start A War
As You Can See Im Pationate About This - Dont Get Me Started ;)
peace
(BTW This Is In No Way Meant To Agravate Any People Living In Europe Im Just Stating My Opinion On The Facts)
ITW [the irish boy]:
There's absolutely no reason u should stay out of the single currency. It's just going back to your colonial roots where you have to seem to be superior to others. In fact, if you joined the euro ud still have your queen on the back, just like we have the harp
As for the french thing, its really worrying. Over here people are being deported even if they have kids born in Ireland. This is because they had the kids so as they can stay here. I see no problem with immigrants, but I have found a lot of my older relations are very biased, saying they get everything for free etc. But if we let them fucking work in the first place, that wouldnt be a problem. I have a few racist friends, and elieve me, its embaressing as fuck when they say something to someone over race. You just have to give them a smack in the head, and tell them to shut up

Please - Dont Be So Nieve, You Think I Dont Wanna Lose The Pound Just For The Queen!? - Yea I Dont Wanna Lose My Heriatage But Do You Know The FULL Implications Of The ESC Or Just What The Irish Govt. Told You Before Sticking You In It?
Heres A Few :
[*] Decision Power Over Intrest, Exchange And Inflation Rates Handed Over To The EU - They Will Then Change It To Suit A Collective - Ie - If Its Good For The Majority - But For One Country It Could be Disastrous
[*] The Change Over Of Prices Will Effect The Cost Of Living And Prices Will Fluctuate And Rip You Off Just As Happened During Decimalisation
[*] SOME Firms Will Benefit From European Set Exchange Rates Etc But Believe Me, Most Wont It Could Cause Mass Collapse Of Some International Firms, Which Presently Have Their Systems Set Up To Cope With Current European And International Sales With The Varying Exchange Rates.

I Aint Tryin To Argue With Any Of You At All - Im Stating My Opinion On A Really Fucked Up Topic - Believe Me The ESC Will Cause Some Big Problems In Years To Come
