Shropshire Star: Use your EU vote to keep the BNP out

The letters page of the Shropshire Star really is an excellent insight into what voters are interested in (as I mentioned earlier in the week).

Labour politicians keep harping on about the BNP and how big a threat they are in the upcoming imperial elections but they're fooling nobody - we all know that it's a desperate attempt to scare tens of thousands of disaffected Labour voters into getting off their backsides and voting instead of with-holding their votes in protest at the abysmal performance of their awful party.

The only party that has anything to fear from the BNP is Labour. They are ideologically close to each other, both parties being authoritarian socialists, and that's why traditional Labour strongholds are such fertile hunting grounds for the BNP.

Anyone wanting to cast a protest vote against Labour should vote UKIP, not waste their vote on the debt-ridden, racist BNP.

Use your EU vote to keep the BNP out

The BNP showed their true stripes when their deputy leader and candidate for the West Midlands constituency in the June 4 European elections, Simon Darby, appeared on stage in Milan at a neo-fascist rally.

The BNP claims they're not racist anymore. But you can tell a lot about people from the company they keep. Darby stood alongside Roberto Fiore, convicted in 1985 for his involvement in a bombing which killed 85 people including two Brits.

He became an MEP after Alessandra Mussolini, granddaughter of the World War Two dictator, resigned her seat to take up a post in the Italian government.

Fiore's party is a member of the European National Front. Also on the platform was French MEP Bruno Gollnisch, who was given a three-month prison sentence in 2007 for holocaust denial.

Winston Churchill features prominently on the BNP website, but he'd be turning in his grave to see friends of Mussolini admirers and Hitler lovers using his image.

Churchill knew that being British is not about race or religion. It's about respecting tolerance and fairness and believing that this countrol should be involved in the world, not shunned by it.

Don't let the BNP ruin our country. The BNP thrives on low turnout in elections: make sure you use your vote.
