I never said anything about co-operation however walking out of
meetings or keeping him out of the loop does nothing for the integrity
of any of the other politicians or for the electrate they represent

The political extremism represented in germany pre second world war
that bought hitler to power started in a very small way and grew
rapidly , now like then sections of the indigenous popluation felt
outcast and disenfranchised they believed that thier voice wasnt heard
then the target was the gypsys and jews now its the asians and eastern
europeans .
Ignoring the BNP is a mistake ignoring those that feel they have no
choice but to vote for the BNP is a mistake
