I'VE been watching the debate over the England First Party unravel over the past few weeks and I can't help thinking they seem to be missing the point entirely I'm 18, have just become a legal adult and, touch wood, have my entire life in front of me.

I don't especially want to grow up in the world envisaged by Paul Bam-ford and his type a world they have filled with hate to try and vindicate their own bitterness. I wonder when these people are going to grow up.

I don't like the comparisons to Hitler because it's so easy to brush it aside as some sort of liberal babble'. Yet the similarities scare me.

As for the anti-white racism that apparently comes from the left the true left preaches equality. However flawed its translation to the real world maybe, its ideology is the total absence of discrimination.

It is people such as Mr Bamford, who spend their lives building something on the discrimination of others, that get me worked up. Not because I hate them but because it saddens me that they waste their lives trying to find someone to blame for problems rather than doing something to solve them.

That's why it seems the England First Party is missing the point rather than spending all this time, energy and money disseminating hate and fear, surely its time would be better spent with an organisation that actually helps people?

So long as people are as petty as the England First Party, no-one will ever take the first step to solve the tensions in our society.
