I’m not a big football fan, I normally only watch events like the World Cup, still I’d hate to see the beautiful game of Football damaged by the BNP Immigration policy.
The BNP Immigration Policy states: “Stop all new immigration except for exceptional cases”
Unless Football players are “exceptional cases” this means British Football teams will no longer be able to employ foreign football players.
We have some really good football players in Britain, but if British football teams are only allowed to employ British born or foreign football players who have settled in Britain (and don’t take the generous repatriation payments to leave) won’t this put them at a distinct disadvantage over foreign football teams who can employ the best football players from around the world?
Imagine what Manchester United, Liverpool etc… would play like with only British born football players!
Also the BNP immigration policy would mean we wouldn’t be able to hire foreign born football managers and as has been shown in the recent past there’s some really good foreign managers. For example Fabio Capello (Italian born football manager) current England manager, will he have to give up his current job?
Just goes to show how poorly thought out the BNP Immigration policy is. Some may argue with this, but in the whole scheme of things, damaging British football wouldn’t be the end of the world, but lets expand this to look at the field of science. Again we have some of the best scientists in the world, but there are just as many great scientists born in other countries and it would be a travesty if our Universities and research institutes etc… couldn’t hire a great scientist just because he/she wasn’t born in Britain!
To Potential BNP Voters
We need a well thought out immigration policy, NOT stop immigration completely and forever!!! Looking through the political parties immigration policies (and I’m sure some will disagree with this assessment) I view them as follows:
BNP Immigration Policy : Way over the top, as my eldest son put it “The BNP way is the equivalent of using the A-bomb to take out a fly. Sure you got the fly, but you also destroyed everything else and irradiated the land.”
UKIP Immigration Policy : Stopping immigration for 5 years except for important workers. Still a bit on the harsh side, but at least it’s a realistic concept. We need skilled workers and at least UKIP understand this.
Labour/Conservative/Liberal Democrats Immigration Policy : The BNP supporters are going to like I’m combining them :-) There’s not great deal between them IMO, as public opinion is moving towards stronger controls on immigration the main three parties are adapting their immigration policies (slowly). I still see all three parties immigration policies as on the weak side which is why the British public are not happy and the BNP are benefiting from that unhappiness.
Yes, immigration is important, but lets not destroy one of our nations favourite sports that is the beautiful game of football.

“British Jobs for British people” but seriously, do the British want to work? There is a vast portion of the “British” population who are so lazy, you just want to slap them real hard.
Do British kids even go to school, I mean seriously, go have a look at the MBA & other postgraduate classes in most of the Unis in the country, 99% are international students (the other 1%-if british are more likely mixed race) & do remember that international student fees are much higher plus access to funding that home students have & yet you dont see a large representation of bristish white students in these classes. Who’s holding them back? No one, they are busy focusing on becoming reality tv stars. There greatest ambition seems to be to get on X factor.
So while the international student cleans toilets at pubs to support himself so he can complete his studies and maybe just maybe achieve a better standard of life for himself & the family back home, the british white student is more likely busy getting drunk & throwing up on the sidewalk-madness funded by handouts from the government.
The problem is not immigrants, yes immigration needs to be better managed but the greatest threat to Britain’s future are the vast number of low- skilled, binge drinking, silly, lazy youths falling all over the place every friday nite!

i couldnt agree more with you about drunken lazy british people,but this is a product of previous governments,i personally know people who have been to university to better themselves and have degrees but still cant get a job that they are qualified for because it is cheaper for companies to import labour because they will work for less and the only thing that is keeping british people in low paid jobs is the minimum wage,because i’m sure asda and the like would gladly employ imigrants for £1.20 per hour if they could get away with it,instead of moaning about these lazy brits make them get up off their arses and work for their benefits and i think you would see them go into employment for a fair wage very quickly

BNP immigration policy regarding football is an example of immigration your average BNP supporter might actually understand.
Had I said BNP immigration will damage scientific breakthroughs, cancer research, technology advances etc… the average BNP supporter wouldn’t get it.
Nick Griffin was on TV the other night and said with regards stopping immigration completely with only under exceptional circumstance will foreign workers be allowed into Britain (pretty much zero immigration under the BNP). He used the example that they want to build new nuclear reactors and if they need a Japanese physicist, he and is family would be OK.
He also went on to say if you are an Australian backpacker you are welcome as well as long as you are only on holiday (I kid you not) and won’t be here more than a few months :-) Aussies are OK as they have a similar culture to us apparently! The presenter actually asked are you making this up on the spot as it did sound like he was.
I’m sure many BNP supporters who also support football are torn on this issue of stopping all immigration which would mean foreign footballers wouldn’t be able to move here to work for British football teams.
Foreign footballers for example can help their team do well, but they aren’t indigenous British (that Celtic race rubbish or whatever the BNP call us) and that must really irritate BNP supporters as they are immigrants taking British jobs.
Which is most important.
The specific football team gets the best players and can compete on the world stage or all football players in UK teams are British born?
“football has nothing to do with which nazi gets gets into number 10″
Fortunately Nick Griffin is highly unlikely to even be an MP on May 7th, so he’ll never be our PM, so thankfully we’ll never have a Nazi in power.
What most BNP supporters don’t understand is immigration when managed well is good for a country. There’s been problems with immigration management, but the government is getting better. what we shouldn’t do is completely stop immigration like the BNP want to do, it would damage our economy.

nick griffin is not the only nazi in politics,every mp is only interested in one thing and that is lining their own pockets and getting away with anything they can.if they could claim expenses for the air they breathe they would.i just think that young people in this country are being over looked and not getting the chance they deserve,because it is better to look abroad for young talent,what about the young talent already here,and thats got nothing to do with race,the ethnic minorities are suffering just like everyone else.

Would the immigration policy damage football …well simply no! As previously stated a total ban on foreign players would help and leave a path open for English players to prevail and strengthen their national team. It would however damage our economy; I mean all that income tax not collected. “Nazi at no 10” Nick Griffin way be as far right wing as you can get but to compare him to a Nazi is as naive as the B.N.P policies themselves. Let’s just imagine for a moment that the B.N.P got into power and we really did have a NAZI Party at no 10, what we could expect. Invasion of foreign countries, war crimes, forced curriculums in schools, a large national debt, a police state, poverty in urban areas of the country while they live in their luxury homes, theft of national funds to name a few. Let’s not forget the closure of small businesses, the back handed financial deals for political status or the rounding up of minority groups into holding areas under the name of national security. All these and many more happened under a Nazi regime but they have all occurred in this country over the past years under both Labour and Conservative power. I don’t for a second believe in Nick Griffins political views but maybe if the other parties were as honest with their referendums this country may have a better chance of voting the right way.

There are FAR more important issues than football!
Footballers are overpaid, contribute NOTHING and very often are uneducated.
