The BNP bandwagon rolled and UKIP failed to get any seats. Still, if the BNP are on the wane there, /due to all-round uselessness, and if Labour are just as unpopular as they were in 2006 (or more so) then UKIP could be rather well placed to be the next lucky recipients of a large protest vote. So what can I say but good luck guys!

The London results at May show the BNP support is no going anywhere, it will be interesting to see how many candidate UKIP can stand in 2010.

It is true that the BNP is going nowhere, but I'm surprised to hear you admit it.

You know what I meant, the support for the BNP is staying and it is not going back to Labour or other parties.

Freudian slip? Perhaps the dim light of dawn is breaking in some far flung corner of BB's mind. I expect some Germans went through a similar experience when they realized their own governments accounts of certain events in Russia were not to be relied on.

Perhaps like so many other branches they have collapsed, defected to little Englander parties or simply prefer a round of golf to saving their country.

More likely they have had complications with their hip replacements or that their zimmers are acting in a fashion becoming of an 'independent' UKIP MEP - out of control, bent and crooked!
