"Anti-fascist group Searchlight admits it will "require a Herculean feat" to stop the BNP from winning"
In the same article they expect BNP to win 74 seats nationally.
This is just Searchlight spin.
The BNP are not expected to gain anything like that number.
When they do get a much lower number Searchlight can then state that they put in the "Herculean feat" and claim the credit.
On their Hope not Hate webpage they list 688 BNP candidates. Wards which Searchlight class as "at risk" of falling to the BNP are printed in RED.
So if Searchlight expect the BNP to gain 74 seats how many of the 688 that they list are marked in red as "at risk"?
The answer, none, zero, sweet FA.
If Searchlight are going to fabricate stories to inflate their profile they could at least put a bit of effort into making them look half possible.
