This is way too simplistic, Jim. For the record, the BNP vote in Bexley's
North End Ward by-election was 456 (yes, just 456 people voted BNP). That's
puts them WAY within range of the 0.006% S+T tendency. The BNP, like your
own party, could hold its annual congress in a phone booth. It isn't quite
the 2nd coming of Hitler. They may frighten you, but they don't frighten the
rest of us, yet.
