BNP soundly beaten in Barking.
Wiped out in fact. And the BNP won only 1.9 of the vote nationally.
Which quite frankly imo is staggering. The main parties are discredited, the country is gripped by a severe economic crises, there's mass unemployment, plenty of foreigners to lay the blame on……..all the vital ingredients necessary for fascists to make a significant breakthrough and, the BNP vote collapses !!!
It really is the British people's enduring credit that whilst fascist have a substantial foothold in many European countries they are so comprehensively rejected by the British electorate.
Of course the work of British antifascists should never be underestimated. The BNP lost every single one of their 12 seats on Barking and Dagenham council precisely, because the antifascists managed to encourage the ordinary decent people of Barking and Dagenham not to stay at home, but to instead go out and vote – to stop/kick out the BNP.
All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing
How Barking and Dagenham saw off the BNP
Britain deserves to be proud.
