So yesterday I came home from work to find, polluting my doorstep, a leaflet from the BNP regarding the upcoming European elections. Initially my urge was to tear up the leaflet and stick it in the bin, however I've decided instead to send it back to them. I'm just not sure in what manner I should do so.

I'm thinking about tying it to a brick and posting it back without a stamp so the buggers have to pay to get their own leaflet back. It also occurred to me to use it as a substitute for toilet paper first but its made of rather shinny sharp paper so may end up doing some damage.

Any other suggestions? I need to get it out of my Flat asap as its presence is making me feel dirty.

Put it in an envelope with other junk mail and send it back. In the US, the utility companies tend to put assorted ads and fliers in with your bill - I have a friend who mails the ads back to them with his check (or cheque for you Brits).

A lot of them are more subtle than that. The have quite a few middle-class members. It's still racism.

Yes because nothing so demorlizes a party complaining about being oppressed like a brick through the window.

I'd put forth a better idea. Vote against them.

How many political partys are there in the UK.

Hundreds. There are three main ones; New Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, that share pretty much all the seats in parliament. The EU elections that are coming up work by a different system that means minor parties have far more of a chance of gaining seats, a fact parties as diverse as the Green Party and UKIP (the UK Independence Party) have taken advantage of.

You can be middle class and shave your head if you are balding. If you do it while you still have a full head of hair, you are a skinhead.

There are the three main ones listed above, in all honesty it's always been a toss up between Labour or the Conservatives, but the Lib Dems have made a fair few gains of late and I don't think it will be too long until they possibily become the deal breakers in a coalition Govt. In the UK.

The article on wiki lists the current ones.

Essentially though if you're not in or allied with a major party then you don't really count in the overall scheme of things. This may of course change at the next election.

Apologies for a link to the Sun 'newspaper', but the BNP are really screwed over this. If this was me I would take them for everything they have.

Vote against them. It isn't hatemail, because I doubt that it was directed personally at you. I get exposed to a lot of opinions that I don't agree with but I don't consider it hateful, I just disagree with it.

From what I've read, the BNP being racist depends on how you define racist. I doubt they are motivated by hate as much as fear and frustration. Like most people, they want pretty much the same thing, they just want to go about it in a manner which you or I might not agree with.

I think wanting every non-white person out of the country's pretty racist...
