BNP... where their voters really come from...
Yet it is also, fundamentally, Old Labour. It would take the railways back
into public ownership. It rejects globalisation. It believes in strong trade
unions and that as much of industry as possible should be owned by those who
work in it. In these respects it reminds you that Oswald Mosley left the Labour
Party in 1931 to form the party that ultimately became the British Union of
Fascists because Labour had rejected his plan to defeat mass unemployment with a
programme of public investment. It is no coincidence that campaign leaflets in
white working-class areas describe the BNP as "the Labour Party your
grandfathers voted for".
From this piece in the Telegraph. The UK best hope that the "protest" vote goes to UKIP and not the neo-Nazi BNP.
Rod Liddle makes a valid point about the BNP, but ruins it with an ignorant attack on Lynyrd Skynrd that borders on libel. He seems to think that because Griffin has it as a ring-tone that means all LS listeners are racists and so is the band. He spouts off some bollocks about the song "Sweet Home Alabama" because of a reference to then governor of the state. He, and obviously Griffen, completely miss the point of the song. I posted a comment in disgust let's hope its published.

So much for Reese Witherspoon as a progressive, huh?
Trying to figure out the objective reality of politics in another nation is almost IMPOSSIBLE
To give you a bit of an insight, I can tell you there is huge effort at the moment by newspapers from both ends of the spectrum to discredit the BNP and as most of the comments in the Times show, the majority are not swallowing it.
Politically we are in uncharted territory at the moment due to the furore over MP's expenses. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is mad as hell and talking about it. Presently David Cameron (even though he had a few inventive claims himself) is making huge gains for the Conservatives and is calling for a General Election. Even the Queen has been on the blower to Gordon Brown to discuss her 'concerns' - Royal dabbling in politics has been pretty much unheard of for nearly 200 years! The Queen could actually gain immense kudos by dissolving Parliament and forcing a General Election.
Doing this would also kerb BNP gains because the longer Labour is in power, the more gains the BNP will make.
I can see the BNP making some gains which might be enough for the 'big three' (Lab/Con/Lib) to hopefully realise that political correctness and multiculturalism is a dead duck issue politically that we'd all (apart from Islamists and minority interest groups that use it for their own nefarious purposes) like consigned to the history books.
