Discussion
Should be interesting on Sunday as the debate is about the significant rise in support for the BNP in Cumbria and the North East and the concerns of the mainstream parties that they're out of touch with the electorate.
Even more so perhaps in light of the demonstrations currently taking place nationwide in support of “British jobs for British workers”.
The recent demonstrations in support of Gaza/Hamas/Palestine will possibly have gone some way towards increasing BNP support as well so perhaps there are silver linings after all.

I don't think we should celebrate the rise in BNP popularity.
Instead we should mourn the loss of sensible and realistic and popular main stream policies.
The BNP lost a local council election in Bexley by 8 votes this week. Tories held the seat, Labour were a way off and the Libdems were nowhere in sight.Instead we should mourn the loss of sensible and realistic and popular main stream policies.
Had the "English Patriots" not stood and divided the far right vote (taking all of 128 votes themselves.) Bexely would now have a BNP councillor.
The reaction from the mainstream parties? "Ah well, the BNP didnt get in so everythings ok."
Is it f
k, people are voting BNP, in increasing numbers, and this is before the recession really begins to bite. Can you blame them when this sort of thing is happenning.
Workers at a Deeside Industrial Estate in North Wales spontaneously decided to call in local BNP Councillor John Walker when 23 of their number lost their jobs in favour of Eastern European workers.
The job losses at TI Group Automotive were announced just before Christmas. The outraged British workers, who knew of the BNP’s British people first policy, then of their own volition contacted Councillor Walker and asked him to attend a meeting with management to question the redundancies. The meeting took place earlier this week.
The company representative at the meeting told Councillor Walker that they had used a points based system to select employees for redundancy. This was allegedly based on length of service, sick absence and disciplinary record.
The records provided to Councillor Walker showed clearly that the points system had been unfairly weighted, and serious disciplinary offences committed by some of the foreign workers had been discounted.
“In many cases, British workers who had worked at the company for more than ten years, had a very low sick record and an entirely satisfactory skills ranking were still selected for redundancy,” Councillor Walker said.
“Management also claimed that the skills rating points were awarded based on the number of processes within the factory assembly line upon which employees had been engaged.”
The foreign migrant workers, who are almost all on temporary contracts(very useful for the employer deciding redundancies), move around the factory more often as a result of being temps. In this way they are given a ‘higher’ skills ranking than Brits who have been employed at the same position in the factory for far longer periods, and are therefore lower down on the redundancy list, he said.
