Interesting

I seemed to be out on a limb with my assessment of the Question Time train wreck. In essence, I said that the politicians were all fucking useless, Griffin won but Huhne was the only politician who looked like he landed any blows. Everyone else had a different perspective.

But lo and behold:

The topline voting intentions, with changes from the poll last weekend, are CON 40%(-1), LAB 27%(-3), LDEM 19%(+2), BNP 3%(+1).


This was a bit scary:

More significant are the 7% who would definitely or probably consider voting BNP at some point in the future.


Really, given the utter uselessness of the politicians at exposing the weakness of the BNP's economic and other policies (I think their racial policies are pretty exposed already), is it any surprise that people who want to vote for "the Labour Party your grandfather voted for" were swayed by claims of the new non-racial BNP?

I mean, they have to be fucking idiots to start off with, surely?

Tip of the clown wig to the deluded socialist.

I doubt for one second anyone who answered that poll really thought this.

They just saw a load of unlikeable people in positions of power ganging up on an unlikeable man with no power and thought: 'Aha! Now I know how to totally tick the lot of you off...'

Given the amount of coverage the BNP have had this week a rise from 2% to 3% isn't that surprising. It's the equivalent of the conference bounces that the main parties get.

I spent an hour trying to work out which was the fake eye. I am still undecided as the both looked rather creepy..

Absolutley, couldn't agree more, the great unwashed now have a 3 lettered weapon of mass irritation that will hit all of them right where it hurts and force them to deal with the issues they really don't want to touch.

We have always had a hard core of 3% or so racists in this country, who will always be racist whatever the govt's immigration policies. So what?

The govt must realise that all this mass immigration and political correctness crap is exactly what nurtures the BNP. But then the govt have an excuse to be even more illiberal and to create more jobs in the race relations industry - which is presumably why they do it.

It's not the 3% of of the population that are racists (sounds a little low to me).

It's the 60%-70% of the population that haven't voted for a decade, or two, who might decide that a vote for the BNP would be a fine way of sending a message to the 3 major parties WHO ARE NOT LISTENING TO THE PUBLIC.

And the word verification; "adrunkul" is a blatant slur!

The BNP have a distinct message (from the lib-lab-cons) that immigration is out of hand.

That's because they 3 europhile parties are ignoring a massive issue for a large part of the electorate.

lib-lab-cons - ADDRESS THE ISSUE YOU BASTARDS. IT IS YOUR FAULT THAT THE BNP HAS POLITICAL TERRITORY TO EXPLOIT.

The mass public isn't all that exercised by race, but on immigration they're just left with the BNP
