No doubt there will be many here wishing to gloat, but remember that many of these people that are in parties that deserve "no sympathy" should be commended for at least making the effort and standing above the trenches, ready and willing to take all that is fired upon them, some more so than others perhaps, but all fighting against the odds.

I salute all those brave people and wish them future success when ever they stand.

Yes, I suppose that one must commend Richard Barnbrook, he has done what must have seemed the impossible, and now has put the BNP firmly in place with, according to their website, over 100 councillors nationally. That makes firm foundations for their future elections, and does not look good for UKIP at the moment for next years EuroTrash contest, especially judging on the scale of the vote collapse in London, pretty embarrassing I would have thought for Nigel.
