BNP and anti-abortionists
Ekklesia reports that the British National Party (our most right-wing party, which espouses policies like “repatriating” black people) is still pushing its campaign to be seen as supporting “white Christian Britain”. Now, it has started to target anti-abortion groups in order to attract issues-based votes, especially the Catholic vote – presumably, on the assumption that other issues (like racism) will be de-emphasised. Last week, it has extensive talks with the leadership of the Life League, and anti-abortion lobby group. I think that it behoves everyone, particularly those involved in single-issue pressure groups, not to allow the rightness of one issue to over-ride the wrongness of another. In other words, don’t vote for racists just because they oppose abortion.
