And if you thought it was only outsiders who could see the bigger picture.
Here is a recent quote from Darlington Councillor ~ Nick Wallis:http://darlingtoncouncillor.blogspot.com/2008/04/fighting-bnp-in-chilton.html
'When you talk to some people who are potential BNP voters, they generally couldn't give a reason why they might vote fascist - simply that they were disaffected.
I didn't detect that there was some growing support for the BNP's repellant policies, simply that some people wanted change. They could equally have voted Tory or LibDem if those parties seemed likely winners.
And yet there is a huge amount at stake here, because as we know, a BNP success in the Chilton seat will be feted by that party as evidence of growing support for their programme.
One of our activists told me about a conversation he'd had with a BNP supporter in West Cornforth, who'd told him that Hitler was right when he gassed the Jews. Like all parties of the far right, they seek to marginalise and stigmatise minorities who they like to blame for all of society's ills.
Their politics remain as noxious in the 21st century as they were in the 1930's and 40's'
But as John Burton (Blairs agent) says and he should know ~ 'We just dont have a problem with racism here'!
