And thanks for posting the follow-up link. I've emailed that bit to everyone I know in the target areas of the North and Midlands. I stand corrected (said the man in the orthopedic shoes).

The post is called 'British Jobs for Polish workers', though! It left me a little unsure, not just from the sharks/eggcup perspective (their leaflet's better than the Greens one, I'll be blogging that this week), but also because I feel uneasy picking the BNP apart like they were some sort of intelligent political entity. There's a big part of me that thinks they're dignified by that, and they could do with the more straightforward <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCb2Le3wtIk" rel="nofollow">Woody Allen approach</a>. Still, whatever, with the proportional representation system it's important that everyone eligible votes for a party who'll score more than the BNP on June 4th, preferably the Greens (an extra 3% on their vote will probably keep the BNP out, and extra 3% on Labour will probably make no difference). There's a detailed bit about that <a href="http://bristlingbadger.blogspot.com/2009/05/vote-against-bnp.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Thankyou for your kind words, Gyrus.
