It is worse, I am afraid...GRIFFIN has gained a seat too. I went to bed at 2 o'clock this morning thinking it couldn't get worse, and at least Caroline Lucas and Jean Lambert had retained their seats...then I was woken by a phone call at about 8 o'clock, and my worst fears were confirmed.
I think we have to re-double our campaign against the Fascists now, much as I feel inclined to just sit and cry.....this is a sad day for Britain.

Beating the BNP is not going to be that hard. The real problem is the utter electoral bankruptcy of the current government.
As I saw one comment this morning - Griffin at least has stood for an election recently as leader of his party. What is stopping Gordon Brown doing the same?
