To be fair, it takes something special to get ALL the national newspapers in agreement. Even the Daily Express and Mail were totally hostile to Griffin's performance last night.
The BNP acts as a safety valve to an extent. The mainstream parties have been too busy sticking their snouts in the trough, not listening to voter's concerns, and the BNP, despite their disastrous economic, education and trade policies have been the beneficiaries.
If you look at the rise of the NF in the 70's the economic conditions were similar, and they also exploited people's fears.
The BNP councillors in the North West have proved to be spectacularly thick and completely out of their depth in holding public office. Attended zero council meetings in his time as a councillor in Stoke, and the only time he spoke it was to ask what 'abstain' means.
A safety valve are you a Nazi El. Thats what they are saying. They hate Nick and the BNP
As for the councillors. Yes there are and were some bad ones but there are also some good ones. The BNP are a movement evolving they are learning. For example in Nuneaton one of the BNP councillors resigned. Yes he was a waste of space. The other on the other hand is extremely hard working. In public the BNP put on the spin but in private they were furious with the individual concerned.
