As a former postie, I know they'll be those not following any 'policy' and dumping these BNP leaflets in the nearest bin anyway.

What??
Haven't you noticed how SOCIETY conditions us to have an unnatural form of respect for the so-called "humble postie"? Think about it - Postman Pat is merely one in a slew of positive messages about postmen we hear constantly, in the media, indoctrinating our children - WONT SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?
From this privileged position it is no surprise that the postmen hatched a wicked plot to dominate society and inculcate it with the ideas of socialism. The postmen's strike gained a huge amount of national sympathy - you know, strikes, socialism ... geddit?? thereby softening the population up to Stalinist rule ...
I mean what do you think they do in those Royal Mail vans all day? Just drive around? Do they really spend all their time sorting letters - or could they possibly be hatching a secret conspiracy? Why do you think we had to lick stamps for so many years if it was not to be forced by postmen to ingest dangerous chemicals to make us compliant and bend to their wills?
Hmmm its no accident that the Universal Postal Convention was the first real international law

Exactly. I won't be delivering them and if they try and force me then I'll be taking a trip to the local recycling center.
lol @ the comments on The Times article. I'm tempted to stick those comments up at work before the leaflets arrive. That should hopefully sway any wavers!

Exasperated, not angry.

mmm, narrowly beaten by the Geneva Convention methinks
For me the most important part of the thread. If this were proper mail that they were refusing to deliver I would have an issue, however, since this is purely a 'WILL YOU DO THIS PLEASE' -'no, we dont want to do that' issue then fair play to the posties.
Bosses will now consult their employees before doing stuff in future which is always a good thing.

Hmm..you thought it was fascism a second ago.
Thought this was mail, as PK pointed out it's not. Thats a different issue.

Maybe the thread title and the actual article that you linked to might have suggested that this was the case?

Ah, the anti-establishment pro-working class alternative to the Lib/Lab/Con speaks!

Hardly getting over it.
Not to an Orthodox, he isn't. The beardies don't approve of converts.

Go posties
I'm gonna catch mine one morning and tell him not to deliver that shit to me.
Or, even better, catch him one morning and ask him not to deliver that shit to you.
actually zachor has a point .. he spent many years in East London and my understanding from studying the BNP is similar to his, that not delivering the leaflets could well backfire by giving them another example of the 'conspiracy' against them
and to be honest this all misses the fucking point ..
1) the left appear incapable of providing a solid argument against the BNP that appeals to people who might vote BNP. ( instead it concentrates on getting the vote out of people who would NOT think of voting BNP)
2) where the fuck is the decent political material?
3) bans on any political material are a dodgy stratgy when we are a total minority ..

I'm surprised at you, comparing independent working class action to "bans on political material". No one's banning anything. I agree with your first 2 points though.

It's fairly expected that we'll have the usual "whither the left?" stuff in relation to this, but really it has bugger all to do with "the left"; it's not being organised or carried out by "the left" as far as I can see, it's posties saying "I'm not delivering this bollocks they can fuck off".

Who's issued a ban? So far as I can see the postmen took it on themselves not to deliver BNP leaflets. If they have a general right to refuse to deliver leaflets on grounds of conscience, what's the problem?

Don't think this is a good idea. Where will it end? With BNP posties refusing to distribute leftist leaflets?
I got one yesterday. Don't know how it got there. Read it. It seemed harmless enough, even laughable with talk of famous British victories from Traflgar to the Falklands, presumably aimed at stealing votes from UKIP. It didn't convert me into a racist anymore than reading Lady Chatterly's Lover corrupted my servants . . .
Why can't people be allowed to make up their own minds that it's dangerous crap.

The idea that the very delivery of BNP leaflets will cause like-minded people to turn into anti-everything loons is at best disingenuous, at worst paranoid. Some people find the far-left offensive and prejudiced, but I cannot find much of a concerted effort to ban the delivery of NO2EU newsletters.
Let democracy do its thing - banning leaflets from one single party only goes to attract people to WHY the party is so "dangerous".

sounds like democracy in action.
of course this has been an excellent opportunity for the bnp...to yet again show their true colours.

The reasons have been outlined, the posties are entitled to refuse, why not pop down to Bristol and advise the posties of their moral obligations.
Lets just ignore their hard fought contracts of employment eh.
Would you be happy delivering BNP leaflets to black or asian people?
What that make you feel good then?
liampreston

I have to say the implication behind your question is quite horrific! Are you suggesting that black or Asian people are unable to decide for themselves whether to use a BNP leaflet for recycling or the cat's litter tray? Or even to read it and decide for themselves what they think about the contents of that leaflet?
Why do you think black and Asian people specifically should be shielded from democracy?
