If by your own admittance there is a question as to the cause of climate change, being man made or a natural climate cycle. Then surely it follows it must be abject folly to assume the former and waste billions of tax payer pounds, on a case that still isn't proven. Have you seen Al gore's "an inconvinient truth" the one he laughably won the noble peace prize for. "Liberals! "
If those much trumpeted climate models had been correct Yeovil would look more like barcelona by now. Remember the hockey stick graph tempretures rising ever higher and higher, faster and faster.
Well last winter was the coldest for 20 years and this winter has been the coldest for 25 years, what are the odds i wonder on next winter being the coldest for 30 years. There's a hot tip for you.
Global warming stalled at the start of this century and now all evidence is telling us were re-entering a period of global cooling. Why are the rest of the political establishment so blind and in denial of the facts, That word TAXES seems to me the most likely reason yet again.

Kevin again you make the mistake of believing that which is written about the BNP by the left wing establishment, without any evidence that backs it up. The BNP are not just about immigration, this is a left wing creation - the idea that we are. And we do not and have never claimed that immigration is the root of all our nations evils. Liberal socialism is the root of all this nations failures over the last 60 years, unfetted immigration is just one small aspect of this, it is not the cause. To answer the point of the benefits of immigration, if it is so beneficial why would you wish to put a cap on the numbers, won't you be capping the level of those "benefits"
and as for our health service, i don't believe stealing doctors and nurses from the third world and thereby depriving those countrys, whose needs are the greatest, for just that kind of skilled medical worker, is a reason to be proud. Rather a reason for national shame i would have thought.

I think there is little doubt climate change is happening - the confusion is as to wheter it is man made or some other cyclical environmental issue. I believe that reardless of your standpoint on who caused it we need to change our habits and usage of precious resources. I have written quite a bit more about this on this page:

I think these are very interesting aspects of your policy that you raise and on some individual policies I am sure both the Lib Dems and Labour would agree with you. Where we fundamentally disagree is the notion that all of the woes that the UK currently faces can entirely be laid at the door of immigration. Whilst I agree immigration needs to be controlled - and we believe in an annual cap - there are many benefits that immigration has brought to the UK. One good example is our health service.

As for your quite correct observation about the BNP being hard to define as a traditional "far right" party. you must firstly remember that, that "far right" label has been given to the BNP by the same liberal/socialist partys of the left. We have never descibed ourselves as being "far right". We are a Nationalist & Popularist party, some of our policies such as nationalisation of state utilities, re-investment in our nations infarstructure, support for the elderly, sick & disabled. May be viewed as "left wing" however our commitment to self-determination, our support and promotion of traditional christian family values, our commitment to releasing business from the shackles of constant state interference, our restoration of the death penalty for 1st degree murder and more realistic sentences for violent crime. I'm sure would be viewed as more traditionally "right wing" and indeed would resonate with a great many traditional conservative voters. Probaly far more than your nice Mr Cameron would feel any too comfortable with, given his views on the "Turnip Taliban" as he descibes them.

Robert indeed was a green party candidate before he rejected that party as a result of those same "left wing" party politics. It may surprise you but the BNP is in fact the most genuinely green and enviromentally focused party on the political scene today. Climate change is not an enviromental issue but one of taxation and state control, based on at best a highly dubious sudo-science, at worst, as has been so recently seen, with the revelations of lying and falsification of data at the university of east anglia, an out and out lie. Farming practices, polution, over population and de-forestation are genuine and pressing enviromental concerns. The establishment however care little for these issues as they represent less oppotunity to tax this country's people, much less to exercise state control over their habits and lifestyles.

Yes, I did meet him and he did come across as a rather quiet unassuming man. However, the BNP does stand for some things with which I could never agree. One of the things that has always interested me is why it is that the BNP is awlays called a 'far right' party when of course much of what they stand for has more in common with Labour, Lib Dems and the left? My understanding is that Mr. Baer is a strong environmentalist and I am fascinated why it is that someone who you would have thought might be more attracted to the Green Party (also a left wing party) might want to stand for the BNP? a party which seems to reject climat change as a reason for changing our environmental habits.

Now Kevin let's be honest here, you've had the pleasure of meeting Robert, when he introduced himself to you in Chard conservative club. Did he seem in anyway to be a raving nazi thug?
Well now no he didn't and i rather think you know that, your no fool, indeed i remarked to Robert that you came over as a very good candidate, inteligent and surprising candid.
I might suggest to you that it is in your political interest for Robert to do well here in Yeovil, afterall it won't be the tory party here that we take votes from. Labour, Libdems & UKIP will lose votes to us. You could do very well to remember this. We are ripping the labour vote to shreds here and we are making in-roads with Libdems fed up with them never doing anything for Yeovil. Remember this every vote we fail to take is a vote which goes to Laws or the UKIP guy.

Unfortunately Kevin, when mainstream parties are too frightened to tackle immigration, when they don't expect immigrants to uphold British values, customs and beliefs - and when they think it's OK that those have put nothing into the system can leapfrog everyone else to all the benefits available, then don't be surprised when the likes of the BNP strike a chord with otherwise decent British people.
