JANICE Southwark doesn’t think there is much difference between UKIP and the BNP (The Bolton News, March 6). In fact, there are many differences, some of which I detail below.

UKIP is firmly behind spending British taxes meddling in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Iran.

The BNP is against more coffins coming back from wars that have nothing to do with Britain.

UKIP is happy to replace every Briton who leaves this country with an immigrant from Asia or Africa — so called “balanced migration”.

The BNP wants to halt all immigration, and while being against forced repatriation, would expel all illegal and criminal immigrants, and offer all immigrants here a cash incentive to return to their land of ethnic origin.

UKIP is in favour of privatisation of our roads, schools, Post Office, Housing Associations, etc.

The BNP is against big business looting even more money from our national Commonwealth.

UKIP supports free trade, even though it will end with every last manufacturing job in Britain being shipped to China.

The BNP wants to defend British jobs.

UKIP is merely a phoney nationalist safety valve party promoted by the media to syphon votes from the BNP.
