The BNP's idea of introducing a so-called Work-Fare policy is ideal in principle. I am personally not a million miles away from the idea. However, there is indeed absolutely no doubt that, for decades, the current Welfare System has certainly been manipulated and exploited – as well as distorted. The problem is, because of the way British Society has socially evolved; a significant element of working or underclass children grow up with little confidence and without a reasonable level of self esteem due to either (through no fault of their own) parental poverty or neglect, or psychological as well as emotional and sexual abuse – not to mention bullying from their peers. As they grow up – they receive little or no intellectual stimulation, and many of these abused children enter into adulthood uneducated and become unemployable due to their inability to grasp simple tasks or practical requirements from any would be Employers. The real answer is to initially restore family morals and dignity back into British Society.

I am a 56 year old single white british man who is living in a rented private sector ground floor flat whose
landlord is a Ugandan asian (one of the thousands) who got deported by Idi Amin to britain.
The upstairs flat is rented by a couple from eastern Europe who have just had a baby.
I have seved in the british army and paid taxes,etc for 40 years of my working life.
I have no hope of getting a council flat and i can't afford to buy a house even if i could get a mortgage at my age.
At this level of society i am put right at the back of the queue and kept there by left wing Officials who control who gets what and when

I am surprised that there is not a section on their forms demanding to know which political party we support.

It is no wonder that the white ethnic majority are turning to the BNP for salvation.

If there is a government commitment to approve large intelligent nice to luxury housing, this should reduce the upward pressure on all homes to make them more affordable.

The current strategy seems to be to build lots of new basic housing, which is unattractive and depressing.

Ideally, social housing sould be minimum within the country. Remeber that housing for all is a communist idea. There are no wealthy communist countries – so Britain shouldn't head in that direction.

I don't think workfare is the answer.

There are 5 million Britons dependent on benefits to survive. Yes, some are scoungers, but many are simply victims of Nu-Labour's open door immigration policy.

Young, ambitious foreigners, willing to live in appalling living conditions, are undercutting native workers – our old and least able- whose only crime is to want a decent living wage and a decent standard of living, ie, an affordable home.

Currently, there are 11 Britons on benefit for every 1 available job.

The answer is to replace foreign workers with British workers. This won't be easy. But if we invest in our own people, and stop lambasting them as scum and losers, we can create a Britain where we have something close to full employment.

I am hoping the BNP will realise that we need less condemnation of our native unemployed and more focus on helping them into work. They are our own people, after all.

Real jobs, not workfare, should be the answer.

I'm so glad that BNP supporters are still a small minority. Migrant workers pay taxes which pay for your healthcare, transport etc. They will look after you when you're old, unless you're wealthy enough to pay your own nursing costs. Your comments are incoherent and uneducated.

C'mon Adrian… listen up mate… They are saying, if you geniunly deserve the disability allowance, you'll still get it… But they are also saying, if you're trying to blag it, and they find out, you wont get a penny. Sounds pretty fair to me.

Do we actually have any plans to change the DWP medical? That test does not establish with any accuracy who is and is not fit for work. For a start the DWP doctor can ignore any indisputable medical evidence provided by a specialist if it does not suit his plans to sign someone off. That cannot be right, can it? As it is now if a person can carry a 500ml pop bottle they are fit for work, or if you can pour a cup of tea or turn a tap on or even set a clock. This needs to be looked into properly. I dispair at the test as it is and know that only this party has the decency to look at it and change it so that it actually does work, in other words fit out who is actually fit to work and who is not.

Housing application forms have an ''equality '' section giving points for being a minority. This obviously must benefit new arrivals. Just another lie from the government-sponsored EHRC lie machine.

The BNP has the correct ideas to put the GREAT back in Britain. Too many years of the Left creating a dependency culture of reliance on the State has led to increasingly larger segments of the population giving them their vote in order to continue the status quo which keeps people trapped in a cycle of dependence on the Nanny State which grows in influence while the natural human instinct to better ourselves, which has raised up human beings from the caves, is stifled.

We must start with our education system dumping the Marxist brainwashing and going back to basics so that all our children leave primary school able to read, write and able to do basic arithmetic, with secondary schools focusing on each child's different talents so that they are later ready to utilise these natural skills in the form of apprenticeships, colleges etc. With a proper education young people will realise their abilities to the maximum instead of wasting away in Mickey Mouse make-work jobs under the dead hand of the brainwashing neo-Marxist State.

We need to ensure that those declared fit to work actually are fit to work. At present we are seeing many people who are disabled and unable to work being cast to the wolves. Some people have indisputable evidence supporting them but it is disregarded by the DWP and that is unacceptable. A policy that is just and humane is one that works and we have to make sure we get it right because if we declare that almost everybody is fit to work when they are not just because they cost the taxpayer money then we would be no better than the other parties.

this story is true…………my friend works for the local council as a joiner.he has had to refurbish loads of houses for immigrants to move into.when they are in they get almost everything free, t.v washer,cooker the lot.on many occasions he has went back to the properties with these immigrants living in them to repair broken doors, they are claiming they have been broken into and everything was stolen. so the government replace every one of these (coughs) stolen items with brand new ones again………and you wonder why they all want to get here ASAP.?

Basically we have been told it can take up to 2 years to have them removed through the courts providing that evidence is gathered legally and until then its tough. So now we either have to put up with it or move. I have no one I can turn to. They clearly have no work ethic, I doubt they have ever worked so who is paying their benifits? And why should a council tax that they have not payed for generations now be used to support them. Once again the genuine hard working people have to loose out and the scum of this world wins. Its not fair!!

I agree with this policy 100%. I have worked 60 hours a week in 2 jobs since I was 16 in order to follow my dream to save enough money to buy my own home. It took me 10 years of blood sweat and tears to finally have enough for a deposit and I pay a £798.00 a month on my mortgage and over £1000.00 in yearly council tax in order to live in a nice, quite area with other hard working people. I had to save up to pay for double glazing, I had to save up for my new kitchen and I had to save up to pay for my drive and dropped curb. I am now working my backside off to save for a concervatory (should have enough by September 2012).

As you may know, I have aproblem with figure and stats that emminate from government sources. The figures stated here are 6.000.000 dependents costing over 13 billion. The averages out at just over £2.000 per head per year roughly £40 per week. As the lowest benifit payment is Job seekers allowance at £60 per week and many getting free or reduced cost housing one of which costs £13.000 per month. then these figures are incomplete or total fabrications. the latter being my choice. I think the total of all benifits to the unwaged and scroungers, local and alien is in the region of £100 billion per annum . If so one can see their reluctance in being truthful.
One day we will get to see the books. And I believe my version will be more acurate than theirs.
After all America allthough not encumbered with our NHS but still providing free care at all county hospitals and keeping a vast standing military and also a growing welfare scheme still leaves their tax payers with less than half of what we pay. So something doesn't quite add up.

Housing policy as gone so wrong, unmarried mothers given houses without any kind of job or way of supporting themselves its left to the state to give them money each week, at what cost to the nation, ok, they have to live somewhere but it should be on our terms, education, social education, and training for a job should be the critiria for getting housing, they should make a bargain with the state, and understand nothings for free. If they fail to complete the bargain they lose the housing. We need to get tough, immigrants shouldn't be housed at all in social housing that's for the indiginous populace only, camps would be the thing I'd put them in with the choice of returning home if they didn't like it.
To bye your own home is a daunting thing, risky, and takes years of hard work why some should think they can live for nothing amazes me, its got to stop.

The welfare mentality in the UK is surprising to people from foreign countries that don't offer such generous discounted housing to so many people.

The demand for social housing is in part from the lack of affordability. I didn't see any mention of this above, but it is is situation that can be eased. It is important to approve new private housing developments that are intelligent, attractive and environmentally friendly. This will reduce the upward pressure on prices and make home ownership an achievable goal for many more people.

The immigrants are only an aside,who can be easily repatriated, but the main problem is the traitors
who have sat in Parliament and Lords who have rejected the will of the indigenous people of Britain.
loads of work there doing nothing of any productvity, Human Resources et al.

This is all very true, and as a nation we should be able to vote to put this right, to many people sit at home all day watching TV and drinking benefit paid for alcohol!! It all sounds great and we would all like to do it, but this country requires people to work and to contribute to it, not to scrounge and take take take!! We are now a benefit state, and major changes are needed to sort out its policies to make this sort of behaviour illegal!! No household should be paid for baby making, no household should be given extra money to stop at home with some made up disability. I understand there are many people out there who require state payments, but these people need to be checked, too many people are allowed to flout the laws and claim for things that shouldn't be claimed for, but because of there numbers they get under the radar and are never found out.

Thankyou to the BNP for finally giving us common sence policies that will stop all this, and help put money back into the pot and use it for proper recources, NHS to name one!!
