I am really the pleased the BNP did not win any seats in Carlisle in the local elections.

I have been plagued by BNP leaflets through my door.

I can only assume that they target the people that despise them the most and bombard us with literature.

This nonsense steps straight out of Oswald Moseley’s Union of Fascists from the 1930s.

They seek to blame anybody who doesn’t fit in with their views.

The Government should be blamed for all the ills of this country, regardless of its political hue.

But what about the successive breakdown of basic law and order? Or the erosion of the working citizens’ rights?

Don’t blame foreign nationals and immigration, it is a weak argument that is preaching hatred.

Why doesn’t the BNP go to areas where the great British pastime of being a layabout thrives?

There are plenty around here. All having a wonderful life dossing.

If they got themselves a job, that the immigrants from Eastern Europe can find so easily, it would help to put our country on the way back to prosperity.

There are too many people sitting at home holding their hands out expecting to be kept at the Government’s expense.

This is our real problem and it will be a brave political party that is bold enough to wake up and do something about it.
