THE TELEGRAPH: David Cameron launched a scathing attack on the British National Party while fielding questions at an agricultural show.
The Tory leader said many people would be angry at the main two parties over the MP expenses furore and would want to punish politicians by voting for the BNP or UKIP.
He was talking with the farming community at the Bath and West Show in Shepton Mallet, Somerset.
“If you vote for the BNP you are voting for a bunch of fascists who want to divide this country over the issues of race and the colour of skin,” he said.
He became angry when a member of the audience said the BNP “have a point when it comes to immigration”.
Mr Cameron told him: “Do not be naive about what these people stand for.
“They dress up in a suit and knock on your door in a nice way but they are still Nazi thugs. There is a proper national debate that we should have about immigration.
“I want us to limit the number of people coming to Britain, but do not believe that the way to beat the BNP is to half agree with them.
“These people are not pleasant people.” >>> | Thursday, May 28, 2009
