Fuckity fuck ...

Dear BNP,
Fuck off.

Dear Labour Voters who voted for the BNP,
It may shock you to realise this, but David Cameron is a decent person and while I may personally disagree with many of his party's policies, they will not destroy the country. Giving power to a bunch of racist thugs will. If you must protest, and I accept there is a lot to protest, vote for the Conservatives. That you should vote for those execrable scum in the BNP at the same time as celebrating the 65th anniversary of one of the greatest stands against fascist bigotry the world has seen should fill you with shame.

Because the BNP position themselves as a party of the people. The Labour Party used to hold that position, but since severing many of its traditional links with the unions, it's seen as being less for the working man and more for the middle class.

And, of course, when times are rough, there is form for England moving to the right. Twenty years ago I had a screaming argument with a skinhead which I won by pointing out that I was whiter than him, so therefore, by his logic, I was righter and smarter than him. I had hoped we'd moved on.
