BNP: The most libertarian manifesto statement of ANY party?

The BNP launched their manifesto today.

Just watched the ten minutes available on the BBC News website of Nick Griffin's launch.

We will read the manifesto properly later. However, the sole and only reason we're posting this blog post is to highlight these bullet-points from the BNP manifesto:

Freedom for All: The Restoration of Our Civil Liberties

• The BNP will repeal all legislation enacted by successive Labour and Tory regimes which have usurped the British people’s basic civil liberties.

• The BNP will circumvent the erosion of our liberties by the old gang parties under the guise of “fighting terrorism” by dealing with the root causes of Islamist extremism in Britain, namely mass immigration and Britain’s biased foreign policy.

• The BNP will repeal all laws aimed at restricting freedom of speech, including those relating to race relations and religion.

• The BNP rejects ID cards as an undesirable manifestation of the surveillance society.

• The BNP will repeal the 1998 Human Rights Act and withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights, both of which are exploited to abuse Britain’s hospitality by the world’s scroungers.

• By withdrawing from the EU, the BNP will not permit British courts to be subservient to international bodies or courts which override the law of the British parliament.

Ummm... we had hoped someone somewhere would deliver a manifesto that really made a big song and dance on civil liberties. So, well done to the BNP for this...

Addendum: Pages 40-41 of the BNP's manifesto also show a clear recognition of the Bill of Rights 1689. Again, big thumbs up... On a quick flick through, the BNP's manifesto contains some very good things. Worth reading, anyway.
