democracy that's what we are being told that we have in this country but my views are different.a man in brockenhurst has been afirefighter for 30 years and has just stood for the european elections as a B.N.P candidatewhich is completely separate from the role he plays as a firemanthe unions are trying to force him out of the service and the villagers have a mixed view some for some against.how come this has only just come up and what is all the fuss about.his role as a fireman is that.completely separate from his private life so why are they trying to get him sacked.as a citizen of britain it is our right to stand for any party to vote for any party which may include the B.N.P.does that mean if we vote for this party we are under threat from losing our jobs.it"s the same principal.let the man do what he wants as they keep telling us.IT'S A DEMOCRATIC STATE.FREE SPEECH!xxxx(:

The beauty of living in a democracy is that we may have whatever Political view we like as long as we don't transgress the Law. Quote from someone or other" I do not agree with your views, but will defend to the death your right to have them"

If he has been a fireman for 30 years he is probably due to retire from the fire service because this is as long as they are allowed to serve As to his political views the FBU as always been affliated to the Labour party and firemen used to get money taken from their wages to support the party. In the 1970's during the strike a lot of the FBU members decided to not pay the party political dues So he could be preparing for his life after his retirement
