"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.

I read somewhere the other day that if the BNP get two seats on the London Assembly then the BBC will invite the BNP onto Question Time.
Though I cannot remember where I read it,I think it was on a blog on the BNP website,maybe it was Simon Darby's blog.
Has anyone else seen this?

I think even just one seat on the Assembly will make the BNP eligible for this. However, if it does occur then the BBC will change their rules.

BNP avatars are now permitted, moderators?

Real English nationalists are not unhappy to see the BNP logo, as it seems to show that the Union breaking up.

The BNP is of course a Unionist party like the FEDs, UKIP, Tories, Lib-Lab etc.
Nothing wrong with that. Just that we independence campaigners naturally oppose the lot of them.

Constans by name; but not steadfast by nature, eh?
